"The Collector" by John Fowles - I've heard good things about Fowles and I decided to read something written by him.
"The Sea, The Sea" by Iris Murdoch I've read one of her books and I was quite impressed so I was curious about her other works.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami - I've heard good things about the author and book in general.
Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper - I misplaced or lost my copy.
The Meaning of Night: A Confession by Michael Cox
I was looking for a good murder, mystery read....I shouldn't have bought it, I needed the money for something else, but I just couldn't resist. lol.
The ground beneath her feet - Salman Rushdie, and two seconds later, Shalimar the Clown.
I've been meaning to read Rushdie for a long time, and I just couldn't resist the first title, and since they were both quite cheap (I work in a bookstore, and get a substantial discount) I bought the second one as well, since i've read more about it.
Notes from the underground
Possession
I bought them for school
The Complete Works of Walt Whitman
I bought it because when I was in Grade three, and still excelling academically, my teacher Mr.M gave me a book of poems by old uncle Whitman. I was hooked. Unfortunately, when I moved out of home, I lost all of my books. So this is the re-start of my poetry collection.
Queen, Empress, Concubine, Fifty Women Rulers from the Queen of Sheba to Catherine the Great by Claudia Gold
Why: It was a steal for the price I got on it and it looked like a great reference.

I don't know why. It was three dollars at the book store. I own three copies of this book, as of now.
Because I needed new books, they were cheap and I really wanted them:
Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained~ Milton
The Scarlet Letter
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Death Note 1 and 2
Loveless 1
The Wallflower 1
Traitor to the Blood~ Barb and Jc.Hendee
A wizard of Earthsea
Inkdeath
and some others :)
I've been wanting that book for a while! Is that the one about all the evil women, are am I combining two books in my head?Quote:

Portnoy's complaint, eh? You're in for an outrageous book. I loved it, but I have strange tastes.
haha, three copies of Crime and Punishment! The only book I have multiple copies of is The Little Prince - I started collecting it in different languages some years ago.
I got a shipping from amazon: Marxism and Modernism (I'm hoping what's written there will make sense to me some day), The Complete Dramatic Works of Samuel Beckett (because it had to be done), and Die Schachnovelle (unfortunately it's in Turkish......)
Hehe you just recommended the book by saying it's outrageous ;)Quote:
