Currently I'm reading once again The case of Charles Dexter Ward of H.P. Lovecraft. It's amazing the writting structure of this book and also the occult content is very interesting.

"my feudal lord" by Tehmina Durrani. Its a hardcore book going into the deepest of the dark side of Pakistani culture that most people in the country are aware of..its an autobiography of her and how her life was smothered by her 2nd husband and the cruelty of her family..Im just blown away by every page of this book!!

I started reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova recently, but I think it'll take me a long time to finish, having in mind my recent Perfect World obsession

which doesn't leave me much time for reading

Tad Williams:
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn - The Dragonbone Chair

Cool fantasy book.
A little hard to understand some parts and is it really happening or is it imagination, and hard to understand current location too.
But I'm getting used to it.

Stephenie Meyer - Breaking Dawn

I'm reading a book of Čapek.

I just finished the "The History of Danish Dreams" what persuades me - again - that I am not able to read that book at a haul.

Now I am reading another 2 books:

"Tales of the Night" by Peter Høeg. I already have read this book but I liked it so much back then that I have to read it again now.

and "Kurkien taru: Romaani 1400-luvulta" (The Kurki Family Saga" or in Czech "Burning Rapids/Hořící peřeje") by Lauri Haarla. - This one is also very interesting cause it made me start to search some historical informations about Magnus II. Tavast/Tawast / Maunu Tavast, etc. And surely it will need much bigger research in future.

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"
And so, the school's English program has gone nuts!

After J.D. Salinger's alcohol and mental trouble filled "Catcher in the Rye" and Elie Wiesel's shocking and moving "Night" they give us this....

Mystique · « **Reply #195 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:14:11 pm »

Hey! Catcher in The Rye is a good read

One of rare books I had to read for school that I really enjoyed

I loved it too. I'm saying that after those amazing books we read in 9th, they're giving us Mark Twain?!

I read Catcher in The Rye few weeks ago as well

(and also because of school =)) )
Great book!I have still on my mind one part :

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all.Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me.And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff.What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

Now I am still reading The History of Danish Dream by Peter Høeg and book by Frída Á. Sigurdardóttir - Night Watch

Just started The Idiot by Dostoievsky...
As usual it starts with one or two paragraphs take let you completly

ed , and then you have no choice but to continue reading to understand what the heck is going on. Yep, Fyodor Mikhailovich is definitively one of the best.
