Scrooge McDuck

Ah, guys, happy to see that kind of comments. Viva Scrooge McDuck and the Duck family

(did you spot the Citizen Kane reference? :curious: ^^ )

On topic, I finished La Papesse Jeanne by Yves Bichet

Last book that I've read was a Regency Romance book from the London era 1700s-1900s called Wicked Earl by Margaret McPhee. It's a very good book, and full of romance. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is 17+ years old...

I'm pretty much at the end of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and I'm definitely enjoying it so far.

The Idiot by Dostoevsky. After Crime and Punishment, I'm addicted to this author. Superb!

Started Kitchen Confidential the other day.. I'm halfway through already -_-;
This was supposed to be my holiday read too

The Memorist by M. J. Rose.

This book is considered, by the biased reivews on the back at least, the "Da Vinci Code done right."

Yeah, right. Sure, it's by no means bad. It's just less gripping, less exciting - creditability or not, the latter is a good thriller while this bored me. It had an interesting premise, but the excution was uninteresting.

Tsugumi by Yoshimoto Banana, Koike Mariko's Koi and Abe Koubou's Suna no Onna. I seem to have been pretty lucky with my choices of Japanese books so far - I liked everything and some works I might even call brilliant.
Having a bit of trouble picking the next one to read from my stack though...

Turquoise Days by Alastair Reynolds.
More a novella than a book, but still really good. Provides even more info of the Revelation universe and is quite a horrifying story about the two sisters on a research planet getting a little visit.
As usual, Reynolds portray the feeling of loneliness in space, and a sense of despair/hopelessness. Not the best, but still definetly worth a read.

Crossing the Curriculum: Multilingual Learners in College Classrooms
edited by Vivian Zamel & Ruth Spack

Read it along w/ some other books for a research paper on similar subject. Actually a very interesting read if you're curious about teaching and the relationship between teacher and student.

mis5emma · 2008-12-21, 21:37

Still working on Lolita and I got Notes on Blood Meridian for Christmas. Using the second one as a bathroom book, as its basically a organized list of references and essay about the novel Blood Meridian.

Read that some time ago. Great stuff.

I'm nearly finished reading "The Glass Key" by Dashiell Hammett. Before that I read his
"The Maltese Falcon" "The Thin Man" "The Dain Curse" and "Red Harvest"

Both "The Thin Man" and "The Maltese Falcon" are two of my favorite old movies! That's why I hunted down his books and read them. They're well worth it!

Recently I've read a few of Harry Harrison's "Stainless Steel Rat" books. I particularly liked
"The Stainless Steel Rat goes to Hell". I'm sort of in love with Slippery Jim.

Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. They're fun little quick reads. I'm currently on Eclipse.

Omg I love John Scalzi. I read all three in his Old Man's War trilogy over my vacation this pass winter. They rocked. I picked up his newest book "Zoe's Tale" the other day at borders 50% off plus $5.00 credit ftw.

My Life As A Quant

By Emanuel Derman

Beautiful book. Truly a beautiful, poignant, and eye opening, brilliant book.

Interestingly enough, for a guy that wanted to be the next Einstein, he may very well have surpassed him.

sa547 · 2009-01-09, 04:14

Went through Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga (4 books) in a week, but I need something else... like picking up Angels and Demons again (now, where did my sister put it?).

iluvnuriko · 2009-01-10, 08:30

I just finished reading book 1 of Jonathan Stroud's The Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Amulet of Smarakand.
I loved it! Really good writing style and I love how its peppered with Bartimaeus's sarcastic humour n_n
