Last book you borrowed from the library.

a u.s. history book and a children's book and I'm a month late in returning....

Engleby Sebastian Faulks

The Oxford Book of Essays edited by John Gross. This is a wonderful selection of essays, that is going to cost me a fortune. There are several essayists who I now must read more of...

Frankenstein - Shelley.

Mmmm i think it was "The Devils:The possessed" by Dostoyevsky but i haven't read it all because of my exams.

The last book I borrowed from the library was Hawthrone's "Scarlet Letter".

Last week ;) I borrowed:
- Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck)
- The Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad)
- Sense & Sensibility (Jane Austen)
- Persuasion (Jane Austen)

I borrowed Joesph Campbell's Hero With a Thousand Faces months ago (probably over a year ago at this point, now that I think of it...) and accumulated a huge fine. I haven't borrowed anything from any library since, and not because of the fine, I just have so much reading material at home to plow through.

Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy

The History of Art by H.W. Jansen. It might be a bit too big for a library book, though. And I find myself getting impatient with it.

A History of the Inquisition of Spain vol. 1 by Henry Charles Lea
Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition by Rafael Sabatini (which I enjoyed reading BTW)
The Spanish Inquisition (A.S. Turberville)
Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader (Terence Ball and Richard Dagger)

God Knows, by Joseph Heller. I checked it out, then renewed it once, and tried to renew it again. They wouldn't let me, so I turned it in.....and checked it out again two days later. I love the library. :D

Jaws.

I was fifteen. I'd heard it had sex in it.

Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

I'm not done. I hate all the characters in the book. But my English teacher keeps on telling me how great it is... I'll finish it one day.

On the spur of the moment I checked out Marcia Clark's Without A Doubt--largely because the cover of the book captured my attention. Marcia Clark was the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case, and the book is largely about that case. It turned out to be a fascinating book, albeit Clark had a lot of help in writing the book by someone whose name escapes me. I don't read much nonfiction about criminal cases, but Without A Doubt is an interesting book and the writing is compelling and it sheds a lot of light on the Simpson case.
