The last book I bought was ''I am God'' by Giorgio Faletti...I don't know why,I just love thrillers xD

[neilgee]

Ann Veronica by HG Wells because it was June bom, but nobody likes it.

[bookowskee]

Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace and The Baron in the Trees, Italo Calvino. I'm just getting familiarized with these two authors, that's why. And it's on sale, 30% off. Good deal.

Speaking of good deals, this one was a freebee from Project Gutenberg:



Co. Aytch, A Side Show of the Big Show, by Sam R. Watkins.

It's a fascinating first-person account of the American Civil War from the perspective of a private soldier in the Confederate Army (Company H of the 1st Tennessee).

The Great Gatsby because I have heard a lot about it around here actually, haven't read it yet, though.

[Cuppa' Tea]

The last book I bought was "Very Good Jeeves" By Wodehouse. I absolutely love the Jeeves series and just cannot get enough of the amazingly clever Jeeves and foppish with a heart of gold Bertie Wooster.

[Snowqueen]

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Have you read it?

[Snowqueen]

Have you read it?

No, I haven’t read it yet. I’m currently reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

[lawpark]

Oxford and Cambridge: An Uncommon History, by Peter Sager (a German),translated by David Wilson. Fascinated by the simultaneous grandness and pettiness of these British institutions.

[Snowqueen]

I bought The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad a couple of days ago and gave it to my younger sister as a gift. She just told me that she didn’t like it. What an honest reply!

[hannah_arendt]

No, I haven’t read it yet. I’m currently reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

I am in the middle of "Dune" now Then I am going to re-read "Lord of the ring".

[Vota]

A hardcover of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I have that and Atlas Shrugged. I haven't read her work yet, and I have no idea what I'll think of it, but I have heard that they are excellent reads even if one does not agree with the philosophy espoused by them.
