I brought Trainspotting with me on the plane but quickly realized it is written in an accent. I really liked the movie buit I just can't see myself reading a whole book like that so while waiting for my connecting flight I bought Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.
I almost bought You Suck by Charlie Moore, has anyone read it? any good?
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Today my husband got me my vacation reading- Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini and Silence by Shusaku Endo.
LOL - anticipating driving 11 hours by myself with my kiddos and then having to stay at my *gulp* parents' house--those titles become kinda funny
Thanks for the suggestion, Antiquarian - it seems I can't get it through Amazon.co.uk, only through Amazon.com, priced in dollars, so I'm not sure if my credit will pay for it.Originally Posted by Antiquarian
Goethe - The Poems
Alice Walker - The Colour Purple
Luncheon Of The Boating Party by Susan Vreeland, an interesting (at least, I hope so) novel about the famous painting of Renoir.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.
-Goethe
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
I decided to get it since I've read many positive reviews of it from this forum.

Despite the falling snow.
American Sea Writing - A Literary Anthology, pub by Library of America. Just found it onsale and bought it at the LOA website. Beautifully made book. Sixty-eight entries, 671 pages.
Three Cups of Tea. Looked like an interesting story so I picked it up as a spur of the moment deal.
I was digging around a seedy used book store and found The Financier by Theodore Dreiser and Three Soldiers by John Dos Passos.
No damn cat, no damn cradle - Newt Honniker

"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
I just bought Armageddon in Retrospect, a collection of 12 never before published writings by Kurt Vonnegut. I've only flipped through it so far, but I will begin actually reading it after work today. I'll let you all know what I think about it when I'm finished.
Just bought Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" at our Guild sale because a) it was on sale and b) It's a Nietzsche I don't have.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
