coi ro do (=hello to all of you)
I'm Idanwin, a CompSci student somewhere in the UK. I come from Belgium so I speak (and read
) Dutch, French, English, a bit of German and I'm now learning Lojban.
Huuuuuuuge fan of Terry Pratchett, Sherlock Holmes (the books and the BBC series) and Richard Dawkins.
Favourite (fiction) writers (per language):
English: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
French: Jules Verne, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Dutch: Tonke Dragt, Willem Elschot
German: Cornelia Funke, Walter Moers
There's also a few writers that I like but whose language I can't understand so I have to read translated versions :-(
Haruki Murakami and Laura Gallego Garcia
I also love to read books on Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience and Evolution.
I subscribe to the Scientific American, New Scientist and GNU/Linux Magazine France
I love this quote (paraphrasing here): "A good book is one that children like but adults understand." and I have no clue where or whom it came from, but I love it.
I love to write, mainly fairytale-like stories set in dystopian worlds.
