Don't like movies much but love films! :-)
Libraries at the Movies: 'No one should be forbidden to consult these books...:
The monastery librarian. For some reason, books are always returned by
their due date The Name of the Rose (1986) What's it about? ...
My answer (as it seems I'm unable to put in on that "Libraries at the Movies" blog):
Film not great and with mistakes? I found it pretty good, and yes perhaps many mistakes but there are also mistakes in the book... if I was able to detect one (a gregorian chant on the wrong day) there must be several others...
The motto of Oxford is "Dieu m'illumine" (in Latin, sorry I do not know this language), surely it is not: "grumpy always" in Cambridge? I don't understand why one has do to negative reviews, surely one must think positive? (I always do when I write reviews
http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/search/reviews.php?user_id=23834)
And perhaps also write outside planet Hollywood films? You know, films that are sometimes not in English? There are many portraitures of librarians there, and many of them positive.
Lucile
Ouch... when I read "Umberto Eco's first novel tranformed a relatively obscure Italian professor of semiotics into an international poststructuralist superstar. Unlike Derrida, here was a European prof whose books you could actually read. Unlike Foucault, he didn't say awkward things about madness, imprisonment and sex, and unlike Deleuze his name was easy to pronounce and his ideas weren't so obviously loony." but hopefully this is humour from your part... hopefully. (in case not, do read the beautiful and moving book from my friend Joe
http://www.oxfordparis.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/seeing-invisible-kai-mansberger.html which uses a lot of Foucault's ideas and I can tell you from my own experience in psychiatric hospital that yes, some of what Foucault said -that is the Foucault I managed to understand!- is very true)

First book of poetry!
So yes first book of poetry will be on sale at the Oxford Guild's at Oxford Brookes on 13 October for the cheap (?) price of 7 pounds.
It is published by my friends Alison and Paul, proud owners of Strawberry Press
Several poems of mine, in English, all printed by hand (mine! Pfew! That was something!), with a wood-engraving from one of my Dad's drawings :-)
