The Tin Drum

Posted by lilykarin on mars 18th, 2010 . Filed under: Reading & Books .

Trailer for the movie (sorry, couldn’t find one with subs and thought the dubbed english one was extremely annoying)

I finally finished the Tin Drum by Günter Grass and thought it was the best book I have read in ages! Found out that there was a movie made based on the book and I want to see it now! Wish my internet was faster so that I could stream it on youtube but no… Waited until I had finished reading until I looked at the trailer to not damage my imagination but from the trailer the movie seems a lot like how my head pictured the book, which I like plenty!

Love!!! It took me longer than it usually ever takes me to read a book, because it was so packed with information, bizzarities and wonderful wordings and events.  It is now definitely one of my favourite books. You oughta look at the film trailer because I can’t even begin to summarize what the book is about…

Here you can see me creepy looking but enthusiastically trying to make people read the book on my new evening amusement ChatRoulette, but all I got for that was a load of penis…

    åh den verkar bra! eller, precis sådär fick “the end of mr y” mig att känna mig. så fullspäckad med information och så tankeväckande och underbart språk och åh. har inte hunnit/orkat läsa på ett tag, saknar det!!!

    Hi Nany! I can’t tell you how many times this winter I’ve wished I lived somewhere like Brazil, where it did not snow. It can drive you crazy! Thanks for your compliments! :) See you around! <3

    Karin, I have no idea why I always post a comment to the wrong entry! Perhaps my brain isn’t working,(ever) but I am sure you can piece it together! :D

    Hej Karin!

    I found your website a couple of weeks ago when I was searching for henna tips actually (I love your hair, started with herbique henna as well two weeks ago). But I found out that you really have a nice blog and I’m visiting it now once in a while. I love your style, the way you look, your way of living and how your house looks, as it is a bit like mine ;-). I’m from Amsterdam but living in Uppsala now for half a year, for a study exchange. I’ve tried that chatroulette also a few times, but indeed, all penises and disgusting guys unfortunately… Would be nice to meet people like you there, but I give up the hope that chatroulette will ever be working to fullfill that wish… Cool that you have done the fasting by the way! And I I’m convinced to read this book I think…

    Hej då!

    Hi Sanne!
    Thank you! Hope the henna is working good for you! Haha chatroulette just really amuses me, the penises included! Kinda find them part of the deal, haha! Hope you like Uppsala, I think it’s a pretty nice city, have some relatives and friends there… The book is absolutely wonderful, I warmly recommend it!
