LucasDie last signed in Nov 22 2009 and has been on Bukisa since Dec 10, 2008.


About Me:

Time is of an essence. I am a writer currently living in London. I write in three languages, German, English, and French. I love writing on Bukisa because I really am allowed to produce whatever pops into my head.



More of Mine

  • A Quirky Look at George Eliot

    by LucasDie | in Reviews > Books

    In a time when open adultery was still frowned upon, quite unlike to today when it is everyday life to a senile Italian prime minister, George Eliot was born. She was to become one of the most read, most mocked, and best earning writers of the 19th century.

  • Doubtfully Reincarnated, Definitely Boring

    by LucasDie | in Reviews > Books

    Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation Of A World War II Fighter Pilot by Bruce and Andrea Leininger with Ken Gross was published by Hay House. The book covers the search for the past of the Leininger’s son.

  • The London Tube Re-enacts Charlie Chaplin

    by LucasDie | in Travel > Europe

    The eminently able and well organized services called the Underground or Tube in London is one of the wonders of the world. Inevitably closed on weekends because the lazy and overpaid jobbers employed by London Transport, the Tube also stand for the highest standard in organization the world has ever seen; and this organization is based on chaos theory.

  • The Official Biography of Queen Mum

    by LucasDie | in Reviews > Books

    Macmillan published Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother by William Shawcross. The book suffers from the usual bug all biographies and autobiographies suffer from: It shows the life of the subject as the writer wants it to be remembered, not as it was.

  • Long Before Internet: Literary Trolls

    by LucasDie | in Reviews > Books

    If you were of the opinion that trolls were an invention of the internet, a recent book publication will disabuse you of that preconception. The truly vicious comments were written by writers about other writers. The book is a must read for any aspiring troll; it’s a necessary guide on how to be truly insulting with style.

  • BBC: Please Write to Us if You Can't Write

    by LucasDie | in Education > Languages

    Receiving the entry form for the BBC’s My Story competition, I had a nasty shock. Red letters at the top told me to “Remember, judging is based on how great the story is, not on grammar and spelling.” I suppose this attitude coincides with the recent development that you don’t need to talk proper English to be a speaker either.

  • Making a Home in Georgian England

    by LucasDie | in Culture & Society > History

    What makes a house a home? And if you don’t have a house, do you still have a home? And where is that? These questions are answered by historian Amanda Vickery and illustrated together with some basically medieval ideas that still hamper our life at times.

  • Switzerland is Football World Champion

    by LucasDie | in Sports & Fitness > Soccer

    This is neither a prediction nor a fantasy but the result of the U-17 Football (soccer) Championship held in Nigeria over the last few weeks. Despite chaos reigning throughout the tournament, the Swiss kept their cool through group qualification and up to and including the final against Nigeria.

  • The Christmas Tree and Its Evolution

    by LucasDie | in Events & Holidays > Christmas

    Christians love to put up a Christmas tree before the 25th of December. Many think of it as traditional. Depending on how narrow minded one is, the tradition is either not very old, or rather older than one imagines. The Christmas tree has a history. It was promoted, demoted, forbidden and it developed to its modern form through many stages.
