i'm reading many books at a time:
gyorgy lukacs - aesthetics

richard brautigan - sombrero:a japanese novel

daedalusman · 12-09-2007

I be reading "A Leap in the Dark: The Struggle to Create the American Republic" by John Ferling, re-reading "The Two Towers" by JRR Tolkien, and soon to finally be reading "The Golden Compass" By Philip Pullman (I've been wanting to read "His Dark Materials" for a while now). Also various magazines on my big 'o pile of magazines that just doesn't seem to get any smaller.

I've been reading Confessor by Terry Goodkind, #11 in the Sword of Truth series. It's great. If you haven't read any of the series, I highly recommend it.

I think I'll probably start Ender's Game after this.

jfca283 · 12-28-2007

i finished Atonement from Ian McEwan
i like it a lot

Iandefor · 12-28-2007

I'm working on The Problem With Physics by Lee Smolin.

It's an examination of string theory and why it's probably a big waste of time for theoretical physicists to be spending so much time on it.

I'm currently reading 'The Liar' by Stephen Fry. Mind bogglingly abstract and hilarious. Something makes me think Adrian ('The Liar') isn't totally a work of fiction ...

why-rus · 01-03-2008

"Memory keepers Daughter" by Kim Edwards.

Hi!

The only James Joyce piece I've ever read was Araby, but I think I would like to read his other works. Wasn't he one of the innovators who used the stream-of-consciousness technique in writing? I did a study on Virginia Woolf back in college, focusing on her use of the stream-of-consciousness, and James Joyce was one of the names who surfaced. I have read that this technique was used in Ulysses, although I haven't read that piece yet.

In fact, I have not been reading classics of this type lately. My last read was a novel by Fern Michaels, Sins of Omissions. Looking forward to the one that followed it, Sins of the Flesh.

I just re-read A Clockwork Orange, just to be sure it was as good I could remember.

I can read spanish too. García Marquez, Borges, and Vargas Llosa are my favorites latin american writers, but oddly I´ve never be able to finish a saramago´s book. It´s so boring!, at least for me.

Anyway, I read a lot. My favorites writers are Tolstoy, Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert, Stephen Vizinczey, etc.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
