What about English? Einstellungen

[Bilana]

Well, on the old board I realised, that I was complaining about a dying thread in exactly this thread, which I thought would have died.
A little thread in English is definitely required in the kitchen as well. So someone has to start it...me...
But what talking about? All real topics are already covered with the other boards.

One topic was Björk, wasn’t it? Has someone already listened to her new album? How is it?

A couple of days ago I watched some Videos with ST Voyager episodes, which I haven’t seen yet. It was in English and I thought wow. What about Captain Janeway/ Kate Mulgrew? What a voice! And how she can modulate it (and manipulate other people with it)! Gorgeous! I never realised what a talented actor she is.
Has onyone else seen Voyager in the original version? The synchronised version is really lacking.

Bye bilana

Good evening Ladies

Well, @Lempicka: pssttt!! Don’t tell but I only have ONE in English, too! :rolleyes: The other audio books that I have are also in German :roetel:
But nevermind – I like to listen to them while driving in my car (mostly); sometimes I take them into the house but quite seldom. I like to listen to almost everything that has a pleasant (in my ears -_- ) voice. I have found out that I can really appreciate an audio book with a nice-sounding narrator’s voice. Thus e.g. I liked Ken Folletts “Der dritte Zwilling”.
The other audio books that I have are quite a mixture of things. I also like to listen to stories from Mary Higgins Clark or Charlotte Link. A friend borrowed me her Kay Scarpetta (Patricia Cornwell) ones. But I have found out that it is difficult for me to be ‘hooked up’ on a story if the voice is not pleasant for my ears; I tend to drift away with my thoughts then. :roetel:

As for English books, I also like to read quite a variety of books. I like thrillers as well as romantic stuff. The last English book that I read was (I think) “Love in the Balance”, which was, lets say, easy to read and easy to guess what would happen next. Not really a “big deal” but sometimes I also like “easy” stuff a lot because it is quite relaxing for me :ph34r:

When German books with lesbian contents were not so easy to get (in the far-away-days, when internet was not yet so common :D) I liked to buy English books with ‘lesbian’ stories and I liked to read them (e.g. ‘Curious Vine’ and some others by Katherine V. Forrest, or some books like ‘Early Embraces’, ‘Beginnings’ etc.)

@Bilana: so, let’s know when you tried out the ‘audiobook thing’ I am interested in getting to know how you liked it!
What kind of books were the ones you read last that had this funny Hinglish in them? Can you also notice that in the written text?
