I had some time to think about this, on the 1 hour drive home from my parents yesterday.
Seeing my sister liking the book, I realized, it's the woman who don't know that a relationship should based on respect and that it is not ok to be treated like a dumb child.
Who when a man treats them shitty, just shrug it of as normal behavior.
Seeing how well those books sold, apparently way to many woman believe this to be normal.
And, for those who do see that the relationship sucks, some probably want to read about a relationship that is even shittier than their own, to feel better.

Draconra, MH:AWL is one of the games I've spent most time fast forwarding through but it was very immersive. I never played Back To Nature but then I no longer have a PS1, wah. I got Magical Melody but couldn't get into it. I started courting the geeky doctor and he creeped me out so I stopped playing. The PS2 plays it too. On Magical Melody, I gave up, getting the timing for those damn notes right was to annoying.

Oh I played HM "A Wonderful Life" for ages. I married Nami. I'd take our kid to speak to the hippie, the Yeti and the psycho boffin. Then I would take the kid to the pub to shame his mum, and she would ignore him and he would toddle home on his own. This is why I need to not have kids IRL. I am a huge fan of the series, I have SNES - Harvest Moon GB - Harvest Moon (virtual console on the 3DS) GBC - Harvest Moon 2+3 PS1 - HM Back to nature (still my favorite) GBA - Friends of Mineral Town GC - A wonderful Life (never really warmed up with that) - Magical Melody DS - Tale of Two Towns - Grand Bazaar - Sunshine Islands - Island of Happiness - Harvest Moon DS 3DS - A new beginning

I am a big "Harvest Moon" fan. My WoW account is awfully negleted lately, the only thing I am actively playing at the moment is "Dr. Mario", while sitting on the toilet ^^"

I'm not sure even the best translation could make the "inner goddess" any less ridiculous. That is true. But I think they changed "down there" with more explicic language. I'm pretty sure anything else would end in laughter. Or maybe I expect to much of my fellow germans, I should really look into this.

One thing I am curious about is if the German translation improved the writing of 50 Shades of Grey? Because there is an Austrian woman I know who totally does not seem like the kind of person who could stand to read more than a few paragraphs of something so badly written and yet she likes the books? So I did wonder if the translator improved it... I guess so. I did wonder about that myself, I should borrow a copy and check it out.

I need to talk about this somewhere, and this is the only place that comes in my mind...
In a German writers forum, off all places, there is a discussion about those books.
And as if that's not bad enough, a young, clever student just wrote:
"You want to know what's the beauty of this book?
It shows, how much love can accomplish, how strong love is."
I am physically shaking, freezing in terror.
And I know, nothing I say or do, will change her mind. And I tried. I feel like Don Quijote, fighting windmills.

Once upon a time, little Dracon strolled threw the DVD-aisle and a Cover caught her eye, on it, a guy in a battle thong.
Needless to say, she had to buy it. And she didn't get disappointed.
Ronal the Barbarian is the opposite of political correct and hilariously funny. Watch the trailer:

Rocketbeans TV? I love the Nerd quizzes! Yes! I watch everything except "Wir müssen reden", the call in show. That's, annoying as hell. And I might have a slight crush on one of the hosts, so I will make a little happydance, every time he's on screen ;-)
