Books

J.D. Salinger seems to be one of those people, where you either love him or hate him. At least I know there are many people who have very strong feelings against The Catcher in the Rye, which I thought was a brilliant book when I read it.

Needless to say I love Salinger, he fascinates me, and perhaps not surprisingly I adore his rather cynical and jaded characters. The emotional coldness that they often have, and their dysfunction in society and relating to other people really speaks ...

I always joke around with friend about what a book addict I am and how obcessed I am with books and reading, and he can't beleive how many books I read, and how many I have, so this is how completely crazy I am.

This weekend I am going up to my uncles cabin in the mountains, I am only going to be gone for a couple of days. I am living on Friday and comming home on Sunday and yet I will be taking with me 3 possibly 4 books. Haven't yet decided upon the 4th one.

A Sparrow Falls ~ Wilbur Smith
Invsibile Man ~ Ralph Ellison
The Ghost Writer ~ Philip Roth
The Good Earth ~Pearl S. Buck
Travels in Hyperreality ~ Umberto Eco

I pretty much run out of space for my books, so I started this precarrious wall o'books that is starting to take over my room.

Yep it is that time again, when I get to go book shopping, so here is what I got this time around

Lolita ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Hidden ~ Victoria Lustbader
Ethan Frome ~ Edith Wharton
The Beet Queen ~ Louise Erdrich
The Bonfire of the Vanities ~ Tom Wolfe
