Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer. I found it to be very informative of the condition of Tibet before the Chinese assumed control in 1950

Anna Karenin. I also borrowed Lord of the Flies but I have yet to finish it. I tend to buy books more than borrowing them because well, my local library doesn't have enough books that suit my taste.
Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange
Jennifer Weiner - In Her Shoes
Philip Reeve - Mortal Engines (we translated the beginning of this book at school, and I just want to know what happens next :D)
Philip Reeve - Predator's Gold (we'll, I guess I still want to know what happens next after I've read the first book :lol:)
+ a children's book for our Finnish-English translation class.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Volume 2)
An Equal Music (not sure who it's by, and can't be bothered to go and check)
Have read bits of the former many times, but haven't started An Equal Music as I only got it out a couple of hours ago
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov
The Outsider by Albert Camus
Emma by Jane Austen (I saw the movie and I rather liked it)
and A Collection of Silvia Plath poems'.
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky

Recently I checked out The Street by Mordecai Richler.
I just got:
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Plague by Albert Camus
Poor People by Dostoevsky
Only popped in to return some books but just couldn't resist the temptation to haul a few more back with me, despite already having a huge stack waiting to be read. :rolleyes:
The last book I picked up was Chet Raymo's Natural Prayers. I'll soon be picking up Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Death By Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries.
Last books I borrowed from the library:
The Sound and the Fury - Faulkner
Anthem - Ayn Rand
Well, the last book I actually checked out was either Best American Essay of 2005 or Blake's book on Milton.
However, I stole, yesterday while at work, Philip Roth's The Plot Against America on audio.
lost horizon by james hilton....ashamed to admit that i haven't returned it to the library yet, been 6 mos now. *blush** and worst, i haven't read it still...*blush**blush**blush***
Tonight I took out "The Name of the Rose". It is the February book read, so I thought I would look it over; then after what I am currently reading, I will start it.
intoxicatedsoul - "Lost Horizons" is a great book; do read it and return to your poor library.
