    Wha-happen to you Tracey ? Happy honeymooning days still on ? 'The Cement Garden' is one I'd like to read having seen the unsettling film.

    Nope ! I should have checked first, you've read it. With 39 books in common you're probably the most compatible reader I have met so far on Shelfari. So young and so well-read !

    I chatted with Max Sebald a couple of times long ago because of his interest in Sir Thomas Browne, but I confess to feeling he's becoming a bit of a cult author perhaps due to his untimely death.

    Check my blog out, I've reviewed a few books there but perhaps you've also done that as well ! Chiao !

    There's an Ingmar Bergman season on Channel 4 at present.

    Well actually now that I remember, in Elias Canetti's novel 'Auto-da-Fe', a large part of the plot revolves around a dwarf named Fischerle who believes that he is the world's greatest Chess player, throughout the novel he constantly challenges people to a game. It's quite a scary novel and also ties in with other interests of yours Tracey as it is set in early Nazi Germany and highlights the place of intellectuals under that regime i.e. nowhere. Chiao !

    I should have guessed Tracey you'd know that one !

    I won't even try to draw your attention to the famous image of the Devil playing Chess with a Knight in Bergman's film 'Seventh Seal'. Whoops I have !

    Hey that's cool. I am a big fan of Herzog and Wenders too (and also Tarkovsky, another story).
    Great to meet you here and I am looking-forward to booktalking and keeping in touch!
