    I love the ’Women of the Otherworld’ series by Kelley Armstrong =) Great series of books about heroines of all supernatural races. I love the fantasy genre.

    “Anyone whose goal is ‘something higher’ must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.” – Milan Kundera – The Unbearable…[Read more]

    I’m reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer for the 3rd time. Love his books! One of my favorite lines is – “I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big…[Read more]

    The girl with the dragon tattoo…
    So thrilling, that you realize the full complexity of the mystery only after like a third of the book… Must read for an adult who appreciates dexterity

    • Profile picture of Seshan
      Seshan replied 1 year, 11 months ago

      Yup… bang on… so much the author could reveal about his central character without having to keep her in very scene; unlike other authors…
      So… you recommend his other works? They as good as this?

    • Profile picture of Seshan
      Seshan replied 1 year, 11 months ago

      I see.. The Swedish Name is more to the point; but it probably wouldn’t’ve caught my attention ;-)
      Its sad when a writer fades away… in my opinion, writers are on par with musicians in the field of blissful entertainment… :-)
      You might like The Kite Runner. Do read if you haven’t… though its a tad grotesque, you’d appreciate it as a writer…

        Way cool! I want to read this book! Good point about not keeping the main character in every scene.

    I am also reading ”Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. It was published in 1937. It is amazing, and I am stunned by its similarities to ”The Secret” and other Law of Attraction books (”Excuse me your life is waiting”, etc.). This is a great read for anyone seeking more success in any pursuit, and people who like the Law of Attraction topic.

    I have recently been reading Hunter S. Thompson’s ”The Great Shark Hunt – Gonzo Papers Pt. 1”. It has really opened my mind to a lot of things, especially the realization that things have been pretty much the same since the 60’s/70’s politically in the U.S. I highly recommend it, and cannot wait to finish this book.

    Ahhh, now I’m reading ”American Gods” by Neil Gaiman, and ”A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R. R. Martin. I think I’m slipping ever crazier with these books. By the way… greatly recommended readings, for those who like a rather real and a bit dark fantasy. D.R.

      Cool. My best friend was telling me about ”American Gods” a year or two ago over a game of billiards. His description was pretty engaging! I will have to check it out sometime.

    The answer is 42.
    If this doesn’t bring a benevolent smile to your face but rather makes you feel abstractly puzzled, do read ”The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
    The most humorous novel if you know a little bit about the universe. Period.

    As of lately I read the classic ‘Kidnapped’ (which I should have read in grade school but didn’t) to ‘The Beat Hotel’. As different as one book is from another, I like a variation. I like reading about real people, what their lives are/were all about, and ofcourse the classics. The last one I read was ‘Of Human Bondage’ by W. Somerset…[Read more]

      It’s considered to be one of the classics by Robert Louis Stevenson published in 1893. It’s really for children, aimed for young boys.

      It’s a fictional story set in 1752 about a young boy David who is kidnapped by his uncle and brought on a ship that sails from Dublin to America, then escapes a year later but not until he gets the adventure of…[Read more]
