titi, it's good to know at least we both have a morbid sense of humor

I have read a fantastic book lately, by Niels Fridrik Dahl: "On the way to a friend". It is a book written in a very specific style, not like written sentences, but more like thoughts, absolutely awesome. The story is very tough, a lonely boy, who never really finds the true love in his family, is alone on the way to a friend, and then something happens. What exactly, we learn just at the end of the book, but this thing has affected all his life. Loneliness, desire to be loved and long-long walks alone without a real friend... I just found this fascinating.

And I still cant decide whether I liked this book because I never was lonely, or because I was the loneliest child ever...

titi, i am glad to see someone is still reading i am only reading medical books until october.

but this book sounds very interesting.

I read much of the time too!! - mostly my favourite fantasy or historical (especially whodunnits) genres!!

it's funny that your favorites are fantasy or historical. because on one hand you escape reality and on the other hand you sink yourself in real facts.

I've just took from the library two books. One is "Balzac et la Petite Tailleuse chinoise"/"Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress" by Dai Sijie . And the other one is "Taiko" by Eiji Yoshikawa - about this book : when I arrived home and wanted to read it, realize that it's the seconde volume

I have read some great books lately. At first, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It is an urban fantasy about a weird world under London. I enjoyed it very much, it had a great mystical athmosphere.
Then I also read The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie (yes, the Hugh Laurie who is Dr. House and he wrote this book long before he became famous as House). It was a way too funny book! His comments are always so ironic and I simply loved them. Many times I laughed really loud at it, if you like this kind of hard humour, i can only recommend this book!
And right now Im reading The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years by Chingiz Aitmatov. It is completely different from the previous ones, but I like it. It is situated in Kazakhstan, and the life of an ordinary man is compared by the destiny of the whole Earth... Very interesting, I wonder how it ends...

interesting stuff titi !!!

i never heard that laurie wrote a book.

i miss reading a normal book

In that case, Gaiman's book is going to be the next point on my very very long list of books that I must read after I finish school in May :: So far, I've only read his Stardust and surprisingly I found the film much better than it. But I promised myself to not give up on him, as I've heard many good opinions about him and I really think that he has interesting ideas, only maybe he's not so good at passing it - but I'm gonna wait until I read his other stories.

I'm currently reading the first book of Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

Finally I have read the Picture of Dorian Gray. I loved it. Its really strange to see how evil people can be, although they were innoncent at the very beginning...

i am glad you read it titi. i loved the book also. it's full oscar wilde usual wit and also the idea is a very interesting one. but the main idea is a little creepy because after i read the book i looked twice to people who seemed innocent
