Flight by Alexander Alexie
This is my novel. I can't tell you of a book that I love more. If you ever read this book (its really quick, like 2 hours) I'd love you forever.

I just ordered "Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard" by Richard Brody after reading a glowing review in today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/23/bo...=1&oref=slogin
The Godfather by Mario Puzo, just today.

The favorite from Yasushi INOUE
Story of the tragical love between the chinese Emperor Siuan-Tsong and his favorite in the 8th century...
Chose this book because relates a love story which is as famous in China as the occidental "Tristan and Yseult".
Historical book written like a romance with a sensitive way of describing the human mind...the search of innerself, the desire of conquest, the meaning of "identity"...
Hands Off (a very cute manga)
Why? Because I loved that book, however I lent my previous copy to a friend and she stole it!
And another art book, I can't resist them.
Having a few hours to kill at a local shopping center, I purchased Russell's The Problems of Philosophy since it was short. simply written and could be finished whilst waiting.
A few days ago I purchased "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas because I understand that it is perhaps the finest revenge story in all of literature.
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.
I am reading that right now, and getting close to finnishing it
Le Spleen de Paris by Baudelaire.
