Decided to read a book my dad gave me a while back that I forgot about.

In Danger

A Pasolini Anthology
Pier Paolo Pasolini

(edited by Jack Jack Hirschman)

I love Pasolini's poetry. Some is really surreal. Very cool.

The last book i read was 'The Master Christian' by Marie Corelli. Was quite enlightening..!
Now i'm reading 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' by William Shirer. Hope it satisfies my hunger for knowing about the 2nd World War, which we hardly learn in history books here in India.

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the word 'reich?' :oops:

The word "reich" has two meanings in German.

In "The Third Reich" (Das dritte Reich), "Reich" translates into "kingdom" or "empire".

"reich", when not written with a capital letter, means "rich".

Oh The Alchemist was WONDERFUL!!! I highly recommend it, especially if you feel you are in a tough spot right now on your life path. It really gives some very motivational guidance and is very helpful to those who are confused about what they really want in life, or even about how to achieve their goals. Since I'm still learning about this kind of stuff, I found it to be very inspirational. I think you'll like it, Snow!

@Em

Maybe I'll just read The Alchemist for fun :wink:

Alan Wake

I was in a book shop just to have a look around, and saw AW book there near the entrance. As I started flipping through it, someone called me on the phone.. and my current ringtone is Children Of The Elder God XD Ever had such a clear sign that you should read a book? :lol:

emeraldincantations · **Posted:** 30 Aug 2010, 18:52

Just ordered Anastasia and the Ringing Cedars series by Vladimir Megre. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THESE BOOKS!! Ahhhh I've heard so many great things about them!!

Deception Point - Dan Brown...
Quite thrilling.. but prefer The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, which had quite a bit of intriguing history!

Darkness_of_Heart · **Posted:** 25 Sep 2010, 07:57

John Gordon: The Giant Under the Snow.

Children's books are always so odd

But it was rather entertaining.

I am in the wonderful world of the Kalevala. This epic is so intensively rich, vibrant! Unfortunately I cannot read this beautiful text in Finnish... not yet

BTW, I was wondering if our Poets guitarists had ever played the Kantele (the sound is so pure :roll:

)

'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris, bought in a charity shop around the corner. It looked abandoned and sad to be there on a shelf :roll:

Language of this book is one of a kind, as much of a wonder as the story itself.

...and 'The Annotated Waste Land with Eliot's Contemporary Prose', but I read just a few bits here and there.
And now back to Keats and his letters.

Christopher Paolini: Eragon

Quite an epic book. Makes me want to be a dragon rider too. :mrgreen:

I'm planning to read the sequels........

I've just read the Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary'.
Such a horrifying & fascinating & engineous work.
Now reading 'Firestarter' (Stephen King's too).
Once I knew this book is about a little girl who has an 'unimaginably horrifying gift' I couldn't help but buy it.

Still Life by Joy Fielding

It was pretty good

Gonna re-read Middlemarch or War and Peace. I have War and Peace and I can't find Middlemarch so probably War and Peace.

Trying to read "The Curious Case of the Dog in The Night Time" but it's proving difficult since it's written without emotion.

Mark Haddon, right? I read "A Spot Of Bother" by the same author and must say it didn't do anything for me. The story sounded interesting, but the writing didn't strike me as great. I could not figure out why at the time. Maybe it lacks empotion as well.

I wish I could claim I had read anything lately.
I'm in the Middle of "Tinkers" and I have also started "Olive Kitteridge", but neither draws me in like a good book should. Interesting is that they both won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. I'll probably finnish both, but right now does not seem the time to read them.

Snow · **Posted:** 02 Feb 2011, 03:39

@redbossfan

Yep, same guy. I think he writes his books in a very analytical way and mine is from an autistic boy's point of view. I need more description and some attachment to really take to a book and really feel something for a character, even if it's not the lead. The beginning of The Sound and The Fury (Faulkner) was written from the point of view of a mentally challenged boy, but Faulkner is a much better writer than Mark Haddon; well of course.

So I tried War and Peace again, but I just couldn't go there right now and so I asked a friend to send me Middlemarch.

I am sticking with the little dog story for now.....

"Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins.
I still like the first book of the trilogy the best, but I really liked to read Mockingjay's ending, the beginning just didn't catch me.
Great series, though. They have something so fascinating even though the writing style is so simple and the ideas are so brutal.
