PrintableI'm reading W.G. Sebald's On the Natural History of Destruction.
Sebald is one of the most interesting writers I have ever read. Every book I read by him confirms this more. This is a work of non-fiction about the allied bombing of over 100 German cities during the Second World War -- a campaign that leveled a good number of those cities -- and the reason why this event occupies so little space in the cultural memory of the German people. Sebald is a German writer who spent much of his life teaching in England. He died in a car accident in December of 2001. | |

Has anyone read The Poisonwood Bible? How about the book by Wally Lamb about the twins...um I know this much is true I think Poisionwood bible was FANTASTIC!! I know this much is true, God I love that book! If you liked those two , you would probably like Back Roads by Tawni Odell. I love that one too! In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

IAmTheTouch said: i'm finishing up "Mad Cowboy" by Howard Lyman - amazing book about a cattle farmer turned animal rights activist.
after that, i'll have to try and tackle "War and Peace" again. it was my (admittedly stupid) idea for my hubby and me to read W&P together... of course he finished it a long time ago, and i got to page 114 or something... so if i ever want to hear the end of that one, i'll have to finish it this time.  wish me luck! Finish War and Peace! It's so beautiful...then, when you're done, check out the late 1960's Russian seven-fucking-hours movie! It's awesome.

With my semester being finished and a glut of free time just begun, I'm reading three books right now:
"Numbers in the Dark" by Italo Calvino "The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux and "Lord of the Rings" (duh, Tolkien) again... "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

If you like Calvino, you should try Georges Perec's Life: A User's Manual | |

If you like Calvino, you should try Georges Perec's Life: A User's Manual Thanks! My wife (who was an English major) suggested Calvino to me recently. This is only the first work of his that I've read, so I'll have to see what I think. So far, it's been fantastic. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"
