I am reading "Secrets of the Gem Trade" so that is work, not pleasure.
I just finished, "The Plot Against America," by Philip Roth, and "Saving Fish From Drowning" By Amy Tan.
I whole heartily recommend to anyone who hasn't read it, "Everything Is Illuminated," by Johnathan Safran Foer it is hysterical and very sensitive.

Trotsky vs Kerensky- НекIо!

Tolstoy's "War and Peace" the full English version this time and the font size is either 8 or smaller than 8. It hurts my eyes. It's a great book though, I love Prince Andrey <3 =p

I'm surrounded by coursebook type of books I have to read before this important test I will take in September. I wouldn't recommend any of them hehe.

I've finished "Foundations of Language: Brain, Meaning, Grammar, Evolution" by R. Jakendoff. (excellent book on how language works)

I'm starting "Portraits of the L2 User" by V. Cook tomorrow.

Doesn't sound funny, eh.

Try these: "When Nitze wept" , "The Schopenhauer cure" and "Lying on the couch", all by Irvin Yalom. (and all related to psychology, more or less)....

I just finished "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature), "The Namesake" and "The Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri (Pulitzer Prize winner). I generally read three or more books at the same time....

Also reading some psych and philo stuff which I can share if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Joannah

From Third World to First by Lee Kwan Yew. It's something I've read two years ago but owing to several feature documentaries about Singapore on cable, it's renewed my interest about this fascinating man who I consider a "benevolent dictator".

I just finshed MIDDLESEX, by Eugenides and am starting CORELLI'S MANDOLIN, since I just got back from Kefalonia where the story takes place.

"These Crazy Turks" (Şu Çılgın Türkler). A history book based on facts and figures that reads like a great adventure story.
It has nothing to do with 'extreme nationalism', nor does it belittle other people. It just tells the incredible, miraculous story of the people of Turkey and Atatürk; how they fought despite all the unfavourable odds.

Malebolgia

I love science-fiction,books, especially novels from Ray Bradbury and Phillip K. Dick.

Qu'est ce que tu pense?

I'm reading Vanity Fair by William (forgot his last name), and the book sucks. The only reason I'm reading it is because I finished reading all the good books I brought over from the U.S. The other books I previously read this summer were, Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut (very good), Man without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut (ok), The Time Machine by H.G. Wells (very good), The Wheels of Chance by H.G. Wells (not that great), and my SAT book, which I don't think you'd want to read :-)
