Fish- The Trouble with Principle

[iroveashe]

Just read The Little Prince since my copy of Faust has a whole act missing (no wonder it was so cheap).

I'm reading Don Quixote at the moment.  It's quite fun, if a bit repetitive.

I've been wanting to read that for a while but I always end up buying something else.

I second iroveashe's post about the Holmes stories, I found them extremely addictive and read all the short stories in a row, buying the subsequent books as I was coming to the end of one despite having a load of unread books lined up at home.

Makes me wish there were more Holmes novels.

i was reading the bible some minutes ago.
besides im reading "Chopin aspects" by corcot

[morningstar]

Just finished reading the Bible.

[organed]

I just finished "World Without End" by Ken Follett. It is set in the same cathedral town in medieval England as "Pillars of the Earth". Fantastic read, though be prepared for some treachery, and a long read as well.

[pianochick93]

Reading Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy.

You don't have to be a Christian to read the Bible.  If you're an atheist you can read it purely as fiction.

[pianochick93]

lol.

The Kill a Mockingbird and Anna Karenina.

[morningstar]

You don't have to be a Christian to read the Bible.  If you're an atheist you can read it purely as fiction.

Or-you could be a Christian. In this case anyway

I'm an atheist and plan on reading it one day.  The Old Testament looks like it could be quite good reading.

You don't have to believe in dinosaurs living on a plateau or perhaps more appropriately talking lions to find the books enjoyable/interesting.

[trish89]

The Wall and other Stories by Jean Paul Sartre, it is amazing!

[morningstar]

I'm an atheist and plan on reading it one day.  The Old Testament looks like it could be quite good reading.

Yep, lots of fights and people dying and all that

A chinese anime magazine "MANGAZINE"

[bella_brito]

I'm currently reading a book named "Great contemporary pianists speak for themselves". Just something I found in my college's library. It's a collection of intreviews with some of the most amazing pianists of XX century, like Horowitz, Claudio Arrau, Ashkenazy and Gould. Knowing the life of those pianists I like them 20x more. And it's full of interesting quotes.
This is the first "serious" book that I read in english, really challenging!

[pianogirl88]

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga for the second time......

[minor9th]

Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindovist, a chilling vampire tale. It has several seemingly unrelated plot lines that eventually come together.

[maisymouse]

By the way,have you guys ever read about series of novels called 'wuxia novels'? I need to know because I'm confused @_@ some friends recommended them for me to read...

erm, i'm not sure, but i think your friends were talking about those chinese kungku novels. at one time, they were really popular, and are even made into dramas. it just basically involves a lot of love, kungku, revenges and all, lol. hope that helps, rainbow (:

[dr. j]

I'm reading the Colors of Africa.  It is a fabulous description of the African bush and bushmen as seen through the eyes of a photographer on a hunting safari.  Haunting descriptions of the animals and how man interacts with them.

Mmmmmmm.  Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

I'm just finishing the third book "Blood of the Fold" right now.  I love how epic this set is; there's 11 books, each with tiny tiny font and about 600-1000 pages of that per book.  I'm getting so caught up in it, so much has happened, and I realize I'm like only 1/4 done the series.

Fantasy readers.. pick up "wizard's first rule" the first book of the set.  Incredible!  I feel like I'm advertising, but I really don't care lol

'One Litre of Tears...' 

Geesz!! The film's so sad and I cry a lot watching it...

Oh, also 'Illusion of Islamic Country' by Wahid, Abdurrahman (ex-president of Indonesia) and the chief of Muhammadiyah organization in my country (forget the name). >.>

This book is forbidden in my country and I've read it secretly. The story is about religion 'mask' in order to get the place in the cabinet by an Islamic party in my country...
