Can't wait to read it. Saw the first play performed for the BBC on Youtube; I was highly impressed with the material.

Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Salome and Other Plays- Oscar Wilde.
Why: for the boy. He loves Oscar Wilde, and this was a really fantastic, gorgeous leather bound book.
A Passage to India- E.M Forster
Why: because I loved it when I read it in grade eight or so, but lost my copy a few household moves ago.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
I bought 4 new books this past Sunday at WaldenBooks in the mall.
1. Frankenstien- Mary Shelly. (I've been wanting it.)
2. Breaking Dawn- Stephenie Meyer (I have the other 3 and have been wanting this one.)
3. Harry Potter: Tales of Beedle the Bard. (I've been wanting it.)
4. A Joker graphic novel called Going Sane. (I only got it because I couldn't find the 4th book I was looking for.)

Totally Obsessed Phantom Phan!
I am also a fan of: Lion King, High School Musical, Harry Potter, Disney in general, Days of Our Lives, Musicals in general, Dr. Seuss and Grinch!
Becca, I read all of Oscar Wilde's plays, but this one. I love his work! I really must do so. Lately, I have been into plays; I saw one on a DVD the other night. Just curious, who is 'the boy'?
Great book and a cool movie, as well. Have you seen the film based on it? It is an older film and quite good. Another author I totally adore - Forster. His books are wonderful.A Passage to India- E.M Forster

Bought: Watchmen
Because: Everybody was reading it and it was supposed to be really good.
I read it and, yes, it is.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.
I'd been meaning to buy this one for quite a while and I'm glad I finally did!
Ballad of sad cafe by Mccullers
Yesterday I bought Pushkin - Jewgeni Onegin (wannted to read it for quite some time), John Updike - Rabbit at rest (after reading his short stories I want to read one of his novels and I really liked the title) and Steinbecks - Grapes of Wrath in a really cool looking edition (I've read so much about here on the forums, I decided to buy it and eventually read it during the holidays).
I had quite a long list of books to buy, including Catch 22, To kill a mockinbird and some of Beckett's english work, but even the best english bookshop in vienna didn't have half of the books, so I ended up ordering "The Sun also rises" by Hemingway, "As I lay Dying" by Faulkner (even though I kinda regret not getting "The Sound and the Fury" instead) and "Portrait of the artist as a young man" by James Joyce (I really enjoyed Ulysses, so I figured it would be only logical if I read more of his work). And my father got me a copy of 1984 by Orwell too, about time I read that one.
Yesterday, I bought Umberto Eco's On Ugliness, after I'd been saving for it for a couple of months. Such a great book.
Noću, u intimnom, poluglasnom razgovoru sa samim sobom, nikako ne mogu zapravo logički opravdati zašto se u posljednje vrijeme toliko uzrujavam zbog ljudske gluposti.

I don't really buy books because the library here is so great.
The most recent book I bought would be Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk, as I was itching to read it, couldn't find it anywhere in this town and just happened to be in the USA. This was almost a year ago, though.
Last book I purchased is 'Mysterious Island' by Jules Verne....
Why?
I collect books published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC). This is the only Verne novel published by the LEC which I don't have and have never read.
Albert Camus - The Stranger
Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451
Mark Twain - The Tragedy of Pudd'Nhead Wilson
Why? They were cheap enough and sounded interesting
