Witold would imagine that anyone who calls himself Mirabell would have a penchant for girl's beer...

Mirabooze, describe Bonn. I cannot imagine that this is an elaborate ruse, but your place of residence, Russian forebears, native-speaker level knowledge of the German language, und so weiter, aren't seen in their best light if you don't weave a thread of personal sincerity through your postings.

I remember Grauwolf and other people on previous book chatsites I inhabited, and as I try to be sincere about my book tastes, it would be awfully nice if people stopped the posing and started discussing for real. The degree of anonymity afforded on these book sites means that you can make up your personality as you go along without ever committing yourself to real life. Pessoa can get a bit boring in the end.

You can tell as many lies as you like, but if it all ends in disdain and superiority, without substance, people will weary of the whole charade. Or to put it a trifle more succinctly: stop acting the goat and discuss a few more books.
