    Ibsen's Women by Joan Templeton and
    Ibsen by Michael Meyer (very long)

    These oughtta last a few years of reading pleasure, with some torture thrown in for good measure.

    East of Eden? A wonderful book with a pretty descriptive style and an extremely interesting story with very complex and fascinating characters!

    Just bought "The Kangaroo Notebook" by Kobo Abe. Abe was recommended in another thread so I've very much looking forward to reading it.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    I bought and read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now my Potter-collection is almost complete, I'll just have to wait till March and then the Finnish translation will come out and I'll have 14 Harry Potter -books in my bookshelf <3 (Plus of course Quidditch Through Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them)
