I went to the city a short while back, to go book shopping
My boyfriend and I just ordered two books each. He got Reaper's Gale by Steven Erikson, as well as The Difference Engine by William Gibson. And I got PS, I Love You by Cecilia Ahern, and also Enduring Love by Ian McEwan. I chose my books because I've heard a lot of things about Ahern, both good and not so good comments, and I want to get an opinion on the book myself. And as to McEwan, I just finished Atonement, which I loved, and now I want to keep on reading his books, to see how I like them.
I wanted to buy this book (and On Chesil Beach too), after reading Atonement, hopefully you'll share your opinion about the bookOriginally Posted by thelastmelon

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
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.

The worst feeling in the world isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you can't forget.

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"...
