I have quite a few favourite authors but the only one I ever met when I just happened to be in a bookshop while a signing was happening. It was a great coincidence because I was looking for a children's book for a friend's kid and...

Morganite Yes, I did. It is not so difficult to meet a writer. Every year there is a party in Rotterdam, it's called 'lezersfeest'. There you can meet writers and buy their books, signed or not. www.lezersfeest.nl for more information. If you like to meet writers.

Suppose you had the chance to see someone you love one more time, maybe just an hour, knowing you will feel terrible for days, crying your heart out. When I write it down I already answered it for me, yes, it is worth it. Because...

People always say "Love Is Blind". I am not quite so about it. Do you agree that love is really blind? Tell me your reason.

Morganite I don't think love is blind. It's just that you like a person so much that you are prepared to look at the best things and just hardly notice the lesser side. You aren't blind, you just don't want to pay much attention to it. That's maybe why people can lift...

How would you respond? Suddenly someone you like as a person sends you letters and sms like she is madly in love with you. You call her up and tell her you don't like that and then she hangs up the phone, angry and hurt. I didn't...

Morganite He is a she. I didn't want to do anything also. But after six phonecalls (on one day) I had to tell her to stop. Well anyway, I know now I don't like her enough to even try to be friends. Sympathy is a start and it died and early death. If people become very...

Morganite Could be, but if love is accepting, then you also accept denial. I am not the one in love. I just like her in the way of, would be fun to have a drink someday or go to the theater, nothing more. I don't really know her at al. We aren't even friends yet, for me...

Morganite That's the point you know. She is a woman too, so I really didn't see it coming. I don't mind a lesbian, but she doesn't even know what she is.

Morganite There is no way to forget. People forget keys, people forget things that are to terrible to live with, but you never forget the one you love. Cry about your loss untill you don't have any tears left. One day it will stop. The pain fades, but never dies. You...

I am reading "Vroom With A View" by Peter Moore. He is a humourous travel writer and this time his book is about his travels around Italy on a 40 year old Vespa he nicknames Sophia (after Sophia Loren). I picked this book because...

Morganite Winternight by Arnaldur Indridason. He is a writer from Iceland. It's a thriller. I like the sad inspector he is describing with a lot of guiltfeeling. I have read other books written by him. But I must say this one doesn't catch me like I am used to.

When you buy a book and read it, do you keep it, give it away or donate it to a library? I have books that I have read and, while I enjoyed them, don't think I will read them again. What do you do with your books?

Morganite There aren't many books I enjoy so much that I want to keep them. I mostly read from the library. But the collection is growing, I realise when I look around me. More books that I have special memories about and that's why I want them around. Watching,...

Morganite Polygamy means that one person has more than one relation. Polyamory indicates that all partners in the relation are allowed to do so if they choose. It means that when your partner falls in love with someone else he can still love you to, you are not going to...

Morganite No they don't. They trie, a good mother does, but she often fails. Really understanding other people is confronting. Letting go is very difficult. No mum wants her daughter to suffer. If your mum reacts like she does maybe it's because it worked for her. Maybe...

Morganite I don't know about India, but I never was a buyer of books, I am a reader. I hate newspapers because your hands get dirty from them, and the news can be read and seen everywhere. But books, I think they stay, always. There is no life without books.
