What are YOU reading?? - Page 61 - EvBoard

I'm currently reading 'The Potato Factory' by Bryce Courteney. I'm enjoying it and finding it very interesting. I love the way he writes. My favourite of his books to date is White Thorn - that one was great!

Next on my list to read (after the two others in the trilogy of course) is Memoirs of a Geisha

I just read the communist manifest by Karl Marx as a University work, and for myself, "The Stranger" by Albert Camus.

I've been reading S.W. Maugham since autumn. We read his books in the University (in English), so i have to. Well, I like him. A lot. Though I like short stories more than novels. During the first half-year we were reading stories and they're awesome. My favourite one is "Treasure'. And now we're finishing his novel "Theatre". It's good too, but I think it's too long and the action is sooo slooow. But well, Maugham is a great writer. Can you recommend me other stories/books of him?

I just finished reading "The Stranger," although my translation names the book "The Outsider." I did a class study on the novel. I really liked what Camus was doing in that book.

I'm on "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka as well as "Inferno" by Dante. I love Dante's "Inferno." I initiallyed hated "Metamorphosis" but after spending some time discussing it in class, I'm starting to appreciate it.

SUCH a good book!

I've got a Robert Jordan book, Knife of Dreams, on reserve at the library. I'll be reading it sooner or later.
