I'm reading War Trash By Ha Jin. An engrossing read.

 

[Richard Cribb]

A biography about Sartre by the Norwegian sociologist and philosopher Dag Østerberg.
Being the first one that uses Sartre's own biographical method on himself, it is fascinating reading.

"A perfect (boy)friend" by Martin Suter

(probably (!!) the best Swiss author alive and active )

 

[Bigfoot]

I just finished 'This Boy's Life' by Tobias Wolff. It should be required reading for anyone who thinks that the 1950s in America were an idyllic period. I just started reading '1421,The Year China Discovered America', by Gavin Menzies. According to Menzies the Chinese discovered America 70 years before Columbus did, and they had circumnavigated the globe 100 years before Magellan. Although I recently heard on the radio that some of the maps that Menzies relied upon are questionable, so I guess it is an open question. Still a pretty good read though, lots interesting tidbits about China during that period.

Someone was talking about Digital Fortress the other day, or was it virtual fortress? Anyway, I forgot the author, and was wondering, is it worth me trying out? If anyone has read it, that is .
