What Are You Reading, Again?

[superj]

I used to joke in my english literature classes that "Jane Eyre" (one of the set texts) was perhaps the greatest cure for insomnia ever invented.

I think that applies to alot of 19th century literature, dickens being one of my personal favourites.

currently waddling through:
adrain desmond - huxley
orham pamuk - the black book
and half a dozen psych. texts the size of bricks.

 

[AceChilla]

"De organisatie van de West-Europese samenwerking"

"The organisation of the Western-European cooperation"

Gotta read it for uni, It's book with reasons to bash the French

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Picked up War & Peace on Saturday, haven't had the time to get past the intro so far. It had too much pretentious French in it.

 

[nonconformist]

"The Origins of the Wars of German Unification"-William Carr.
Set text for history.....a bit waffly, but has an interesting perspective on Bismarck.

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

The rise of Endymion ,the final book of the Hyperion saga by dan Simmons (Hyperion-the fall of Hyperion-Endymion-the rise of Endymion)

Very good science fiction IMO ,and well awarded by it's peers.

Picked up War & Peace on Saturday, haven't had the time to get past the intro so far. It had too much pretentious French in it.

Took my time to read that one out (the unabridged version) ,read it in English (native languaghe is dutch) ,It's a good book but towards the end it gets somewhat boring when Tolstoj is rambling on how the French army disintegrated after Moscow.
