We'll need more first level comments to get to the next page. We must reach 5 this year, I think that would be a reasonable agenda. So, in the spirit of development, I hereby start a new topic: tell me about your favourite book. Or about one of your favourite books.

I could name "The Hobbit" in this place, but that would be glaringly obvious, I think. So I'll name my second favourite. Strangely enough, it's a children's book as well, titled "Island-blue" (my translation), written by the excellent Hungarian writer Magda Szabó. It's about love and loss and talking animals... very, very cute. I read it at the age of 22, I think, and I bawled like a baby, despite the happy end.
