Subject: Books

recently i've been reading some books from Robert Ervin Howard (obvously in english, not translated, i've seen that it's much better):

- The Complete Chronicles of Conan
- Kull of Atlantis (entire cycle)
- The savage tales of Solomon Kane

in one word: great

Cengiz Aytmatov - Toprak Ana
Dan Brown - Angels and Demons
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - NUTUK

Don't really have the motivation to read anymore while GTA4 sits in my cabinet. It's not like I don't have a long list of books to read

45+ years of Anais Nin diaries
Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
The Outsider by Camus
The Myth of Sisyphus (I actually started this but the prologue is dreadfully boring)
Breakfast at Tiffanys by Truman Capote
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Candide by Voltaire
The Prince by Machiavelli

And there are probably a few more I'm forgetting.

The Prince by Machiavelli

probably the most intersting book I've read. It helps to understand most of the human nature. It has been wrote 500 years ago. Machiavelli was a genius

and i read 2/3 books every month from when I was 8 years old....now I'm 39.

Same here, though I had some serious pauses in reading...now I'm going back into motion, my last read is a really easy one, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. 600 pages, finished in 2 days. Was kinda entertaining.

Having problems with finishing 2 other books, The Rat by Gunter Grass /got stuck after 1 session, 90 pages and I can't start to read it again.../ and The Karamazov Brothers by Dostojevsky - great one, but VERY big book...

Also finished Hollywood by Bukowski this week, good one for one rainy day. :)

I hate Dostojevsky...

I adore his books :)

all russian clasics rule !

favorite:
Things the grandchildren should know by Mark Oliver Everett (aka Mr. E from the Eels)

reading now:
The dead of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave

on my readinglist:
any book by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

I'm reading The Alchemist right now....such an overrated book

next up is Under the Dome by Stephen King, or maybe Silmarrilion by JRR Tolkien

Silmarrilion is a bit boring, try something else unless you're a Tolkien maniac :)

Silmarillion is great book,not boring..all books from LOTR cycle is great...

books of Tolkien aint bad, but currently there are much better fantasy writers out there. Unless you like the journeys of the characters, which are quite unique I have to admit. Currently rereading all Feist's books as the newest one just came out a month ago. Then I'm going to read the newest cycle of Markus Heitz.

im currently reading , Chris Kuzneski's new book The Secret Crown

its easy reading and kuzneski is a reader whose work i enjoy . i currently have a waiting list of about 5 books in my book case to read , i seem to buy a new one every time i go to a shop lol

Same here mate :)

Dan Brown - Angels and Demons

last one :)
