Right now I'm reading a biography of Glenn Miller. The guy who wrote it is really, really bland.

Yup, it's simply wonderful. A masterpiece!!! There's no question abou it.

Interview with the Vampire. The book is better than movie

I shall read some books that I need to get at the Univesity... Ah... Moby Dick, they aren't jokin'.... wrrrrr

For the school I have to read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. I'm in act 1 and I find it to be funny.

I've just read "The hidden Empire" by Kevin J. Anderson, the first part of the "Saga of the Seven Suns". It was just meant to relax, while writing my diploma-thesis (By the way: I'VE FINALLY FINISHED IT!!!), but it's so good that I have to read the remaining 3 books also. I'm just about heading for the library...

Right now I'm reading the message i'm typing...

There for you Htcdude!!!!

For uni I'm reading "Immigrants and National Identity in Europe" by Anna Triandafyllidou.

I'm reading Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Are Dead. Iforgotbywho.

It's absurd, but fun.

"diario íntimo de un guacarrocker"...armando vega gil.
It is probably the most stupid book i've ever read, but now i have to finish it.

Right now... Nothing!!! And I'm loving it!!!

But my vacations won't last for too long.

Now I need to read books for my diploma project... I have vacations but it is dealed with my job, and I still have to think about my study... It's really difficult to work and to study at the same time.

I've just read one story on Russian forum... I was crying... I'll try to translate it and post here in the evening, you need to read it guys...

Just finnished reading Narnia - All Stories... I didn't like it...somehow it was just WAY too religeous and black and white for my taste... evil is allways evil, good is allways ubergood... especially the last story made me allmost sick... it was just terrible to read with all that serious-faced religeus symbolism...

So, now I think I will read a few Terry Pratchet books to save my sanity ...or at least what's left of it

Kain's Seventh Son, I tried to find out "The Master and Margarita" to dowload it fre but... useless. Try to do it by yourself, maybe you're more lucky than me

I'm reading "Going Up the River - Travels in a Prison Nation" by Joseph Hallinan. Very interesting book about the prison system in the U.S. It shows how the system focuses on punitive measures rather than on reform. I had this book for one of my classes, and I have another one about the prison system which might be even better than this one; it's called "Lockdown America - Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis".

My current reading list:
Francis Fukuyama - The End of History and the Last Man
Patrick Cauvin - Le sang des roses (trying to learn French)
Carlos Ruiz Zafón - The Shadow of the Wind (original title "La sombra del viento")

Thanks for the link!!!
Thank to you, I'll be able to finally read The Heart Of A Dog!

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

It's about Buddhism, really intresting.

Just finished "Thus spoke Zarathustra" excellent, a narrative philosphical statement, genious!

Will reread "Rayuela" (Hopskotch) by Julio Cortazar, a masterpiece, can't recommend it enough!

1 Chronicles from The Bible now

You are welcome As for me, it's nice to help someone, even if I didn't expect it

You are not alone... I'm reading this course of physics. Very boring, believe me. Much worse than Anatomy

I REALLY should lookout for this forum more often thank you Forget-me-not just bookmarked the pages, and try to read the book when I get the time


Oh, and for now... I have nearly finnished Janis Joplin - The Scars Of Paradise... it is truely exelent book, giving allmost too good descriptiion on Janises life... though mostly that's 'couse of her own choises... she lived a very sad life, even though she was the first female rock superstar... I recomment this one for everyone, wether or not did you like her music (or did you happen not to even manage to hear it) it really opens one's mond on many things... along with the buble of hippie-generation being generally exelent in all aspects of life... nope... well, just read the book, will you?
