Life of Pi by Yann Martel - simply put, unique and entertaining. One of the very few modern books of fiction I feel deserves to sit atop a shelf alongside the classics.
Had to get that out there, beyond that, on the to do list:
Paradise Lost - John Milton
and
Essay on Human Understanding - John Locke
On my 'to read' and 'to buy' list is a completely different book to what I usually read.
Maharanis: The Lives and Times of Three Generations of Indian Princesses by Lucy Moore.
I haven't really read many Indian books before but it looks good and I'm really interested in the country so it should be a good read.
I'm also interested in reading '1759: The Year Britain Became Master of the World' by Frank McLynn, despite not usually being interested in historical books.
Lots and lots of books about the law ...
Otherwise:
The Devil and Miss Prym - Paulo Coelho
Facing the Flag -Jules Verne (I guess that's what it's called in English, at least that's what google.com has to say about it..)
The Valiant Sailors - V. A. Stuart
The Storm of Steel. ("In Stahlgewittern") - Ernst Jünger
These past few days, I have oddly felt especially motivated to reflect on what I should read - *sigh, so much to read, so little time to live! I realized how many authors and how many of various others' works I have neglected, but fairly soon, I really want to read what I have heard as a real challenge: Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. :nod:
