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.

Hi Idanwin and welcome to MobileRead. Very nice introduction

I'm a big Richard Dawkins fan too

Sweet, what is your favourite book of his?

I'm hesitating, but I think I'd go for the God Delusion, I love how he applies the theory of evolution to cultural ideas and it fits so well.

The Greatest Show on Earth. Absolutely fascinating!

But The God Delusion was excellent as we'll.
