I read Irish History for Dummies right after I read The Complete Idiot's Guide to Irish History and Culture and even between those two books for Idiots/Dummies I already found different views on what really happened. Even though the Dummies book was more focussed on Irish History than the Idiot's guide, I still thought the Idiot's guide was more useful to me in understanding books on the subject of Irish history that I read while in Ireland.

Still one of the greatest vampire novels ever! To be honest, in every book I read I still look for the same amount of discussion of philosophy mixed with an exciting story, and I am still disappointed when I don't find it. It is the perfect combination of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World, and I often have to stop while reading it to think about what I am actually reading.
To me, there has never been (and probably never will be) as perfect a vampire as Lestat. Not sure if I would want to meet him in real life (if such a thing were possible), but he is one hell of a fantastic character.

Het verhaal De Mensen Die Weggingen had ik al eens eerder gelezen, maar toen we het boekje in 2008 weer in huis hadden bij onze boekwinkel toen de auteurs kwamen signeren, heb ik mijn kans gegrepen en heb ik het boek gekocht en om een handtekening gevraagd. Het verhaal is zo mooi omdat het geschreven is vanuit het POV van een achtjarig meisje die zonder het zelf door te hebben een gruwelijk verhaal verteld.
