I bought the first in Anthony Trollope's Palliser Series.
It's called Can You Forgive Her?
I bought it because it came highly recommended by Idril, whose opinion I trust.

Well it would have Sharpe's Fury by Bernard Cornwell on the 26th--Christmas gift card from my second son Daniel and this entry then would be cool

Yesterday picked up an ordered copy of a reprint of Secret Agent X: Legions of the Living Dead from the Sep 1939 issues (#18) which Wildside Press is reprinting stories from----"X" is no where in the Shadow's league but I've liked him a LOT better then the Phantom Detective. As I get older I read more 'fun' stuff then heavy--except for the Biblical commentaries I read from time to time.
cool! Secret agent x!
...
...have you checked out the new Phantom release?

*Im sorry to tell you dear it isnote the bit where it says the quaran callas alexander the 2 horned and obviously that means hes evil? Well the thing is koran says and the two horned, he was truly a man of God.
now my point is if the man can look to the end of the sentance how sure are we about the rest of the book??
ahhh Im late Ill find the proper quote later but its worth comparing just to see how much of a mess the man made
EDIT: ok if you want to look it up yourself the man should have refernced it The Qua'ran 18:83-18:98. (18 being the chapter called el kahf or the cave if you do look it up) oh and zulquarnain, Dhu'l-Qarneyn, or Zul-qarnain. however they choose to spell it is the same thing means 'he of 2 horns' . Actally when I look at it we dont know its Alexander the great all we know is that this was one of the 'wise kings' andfor some reason scholars have come to the conlclusion that its alexander the great but since the book you have actually refers to this but somehow managed to take a wise noble and kind king and change it to wicked tyrant I dont know

I am informed by the page director at my library and a former English major (which is all to say, my boss), that it is in indeed the former. She claims, however, that he would have been almost dead, if not already so, by the time the word came into wide use, so it would not have mattered much. Doesn't stop me, however, from having my fun!Oh, that's a good one. I think you'll be pleased.
But I want to know, it is pronouced Trol-up as in a woman of ill repute or Tro-lope with a long 'o'? I prefer to think it's the later.
**edit**
Oh yes, I believe I remember coming across it in a dictionary as well which gave the former pronunciation.
Dickens' "The Pickwick Papers," "A Christmas Carol," and "Oliver Twist" becase I am taking a class on Dickens and we are going to read all of those PLUS "A Tale of Two Cities" by the end of April (yay! I HAVE to read unabridged literature...what a class!)
and I bought "Invisible Man" by Ellis for myself because it was mentioned in my African-American literature course last semester and it sounded good...

The other day I bought "Jekyll and Hyde" because I saw part of the movie, and now want to read the book. I also bought " 'Tis: A Memoir" by Frank McCourt, because I'm currently reading "Angela's Ashes" and can barely get my nose out of it.

Just bought 2 books:
Fiction : The Wind up Bird Chronicle - because I love Murakami
Non-fiction : In Praise of Idleness, Bertrand Russell - because Russell has to be one of the greatest modern philosophical thinkers and his words are worth reading
The outsiders by h.g. wells I bought it for school and has not yet came. It sounds like an instering book from the title.
Collected Stories of Saki -- Hector Hugh Munro (Saki). I didnt buy it, as it is a gift from my brother, I am looking forward to reading it...
I bought a biography about "Nureyev", one of the greatest ballet dancers in history, from Amazon. I also bought a book I found in Barnes and Noble, on the reduced shelf, called "Glorious Britain - Places of Legend . The cool thing about this book is it is made up of old sepia prints. It is devoted to homes and locations of famous British novelists and poets, such as Austen, Hardy, Shelley, Shakespeare, the Brontes, etc. It really attracted my attention, loving British authors/poets so much from that era. The pictures are truly priceless and hold history in the pages of this interesting book. One can imagine just how these authors lived and perceived their surrounding and how their environments greatly inspired the plots and subjects of their books.

November by Gustave Flaubert ... because it was at 50% off! And I do want to read more of Flaubert's works, having been favorably impressed by Madame Bovary.
