I read your answers with interest. I recognised just a few in each list but so many more that i did not know.

...Thanks, Jelica! I'll be happy to play along!<br /><br />I must say I've only seen two of your favourite films, but I know all of those books, well done me!<br /><br />I better start thinking about my favourite things... at the moment I could fit blog camp into every cathegory so I better wait a day or two.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085905065734027788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-89179816551729354052009-06-22T13:21:39.814+02:002009-06-22T13:21:39.814+02:00Merisi, I also like Ignorance (the emigration them...Merisi, I also like Ignorance (the emigration theme resonates with me as well) and Slowness--it's an excellent little book. <br /><br />Delwyn, I really loved that movie as a child, although by now I don't remember the details very well. But something that I read brought it back to memory so I researched it and, apparently, Wikipedia says it wasn't really based on a true story but the author of the novel (from which the film was adapted) deliberately created such an impression. Regardless, it was breathtaking and totally weird :)Jelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903146833019745969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-26847812631618598512009-06-22T11:45:55.835+02:002009-06-22T11:45:55.835+02:00Hi Jelica

I haven't seen any of you others...<br /><br />I will put the meme on my 'to do' list...<br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-75869238278233453572009-06-21T23:10:02.031+02:002009-06-21T23:10:02.031+02:00I know and love four out of each of your favorite ...I know and love four out of each of your favorite movies and books, so I shall look for "Before the Rain" and "The Tomb for Boris Davidovich" - I am really looking forward to getting to know each of them! <br /><br />I like the film version of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" too, even though somehow I experienced reading the book differently from watching the movie (I also liked Kundera's "L'Ignorance" because the question of emigration - migration occopies a place in my life too).Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.com
