Down and Out in Paris and London~George Orwell
I've just started to get interested in the Agatha Christie books. So I'm starting with Poirot, but I will definately read the books with Miss Marple as well. :) I usually read the books in order, so that's what I'm doing. First all the Poirot in order, and then maybe Miss Marple.Quote:

Evelina Frances Burney
The Ringmasters Daughter by Jostein Gaarder. I bought it in this lovely lovely bookstore here in Amsterdam: The English Bookexchange.
A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr I've been watching the re-run of Marr's series on television and enjoying it imensely. Marr was chief political editor at the BBC for years and as such has a first hand knowledge of world affairs and Britain's place in them. He has an air of slightly ironic detachment which gives his interpretation of events a certain authority. I'm looking forward to reading the book now that I have seen the tv programmes.
Last litt. book i bought:
"Little Women" by Louisa Marie Alcott
Last info book i bought:
"Get Rich" by (i forgot the author..hehe!)
