Memoirs of a Geisha - Arther Golden

Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird. Stunning.

Now I'm reading Brave New World.

[Allama]

I'm just starting to read 12^th Century Women Troubadours, which is a fascinating look at the lives and culture of female troubadours, which many do not realize existed, as well as a delightful collection of surviving works most of which are therein translated into English for the first time.

(I am simultaneously slogging through The Halfling's Gem by R.A. Salvatore, which is complete crap but I am far too stubborn to start a series then fail to finish it.)

The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald- School
H.P. Lovecraft Tales-my own time

[Bara]

Imperial Guard codex- Free time
US Army/Marine Counter Insurgey Field Manual-free time

[Delfos]

a question, why do you need to read such incredible 'Manual'? Obviously you have nothing better to do, or read, with your free time. I'm not saying it isn't interesting, even myself would like to give it a try, Chopin and *good* literature would serve me better for 'interesting' and enlightening.

i dont habe many of those books.

A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick

[Delfos]

you can buy them, I bet your parents would be proud.

[Bender1968]

When I was younger, I used to read a lot of those military manuals.  In fact I still have "The Poor Man's James Bond, Vol I"

Right now I'm reading A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell, Enchantment: The Life and Times of Audrey Hepburn by Donald Spoto, and Yotsuba&! Vol. 1 by Azuma Kiyohiko.  Yay so much for books!  ^_^

[Templarios]

A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell,

Classic book along with Why I'm Not A Christian which i dont agree with some of what he says, it really makes me think and open my eyes more.

Gomorra- by Roberto Saviano

'Gomorra' is a book about the RL activities of 'La Camorra' titled in Neopolitan slang. The Camorra is the name of the Neopolitan mafia according to government pidgeons, members and people who associate with it call it la sistema, the system.
The first 2 chapters were great but the last 100 pages just say; and so and so was killed and then so and so and then so and so...well over 30000 in the mafia wars since the early 80s.
The author has so many serious death threats against him that he's under federal protection.
