Four Spirits, by Sena Jeter Naslund. I don't have the book in front of me, so I might have the author's name slightly wrong. It was a good novel--set in the South during the civil rights movement.
Also, Two for the dough, by Janet Evanovich--the mystery series! They can't all be great literature! I loved it--sometimes it's nice to read something a little brainless.

last book i asked someone to borrow for me in a library was The Reign of Greed, by Charles Derbyshire, an English translation ( a remarkable one, really) of Jose Rizal's El FIlibusterismo, which is required reading for us. I didn't really get El Fili in Filipino (since Filipino is not my mother tongue and I find reading anything long in Filipino tiring), so i was glad for the translation. I did get to appreciate the work more.. it flet like reading Les Miserables of Victor Hugo.
i don't use our school library too often. they don't have too many interesting home reading books, and as far as resources go, typically our textbooks and books at home are sufficient.
Daughter of Fortune - Isabel Allende
Daniel Martin by John Fowles. Have been wanting to read it for quite some time.
The Black Album by Hanif Kureishi. Thought it looked interesting...
and This is your brain on music by Daniel J. Levitin. Saw the title somewhere on this forum...
Today I borrowed a book with three dramatic works by Samuel Beckett. It contained: Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Play.
Ugh, I'm a library addict. I'm there twice a week, at the very least.
Anyway, the last book I got from the library was a book of short stories by Dostoevsky. So far, I'm on The Double, and I find myself really, truly enjoying his work. And that's saying something.

Capitan's daughter by Alexander Pushkin. I have yet to return it, borrowed it about 10 or so days ago.
Ughhh- it's been a long time. It was stupid, awful Love in the Ruins by Walker Percy...there are few books which I have loathed so much as I loathed that book.
God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchins
What an awesome book. I wish more religious folks would take a big step and read this book--it sure would help our wonderful planet.

Today I borrowed The Sea by John Banville and Dead Famous by Ben Elton.
