(The invisible cities) by Italo Calvino.
I'm fond of his writing, so I'm trying to read all the books he wrote...

| I am reading | Aug 27, 2007 |
Animales Tristes (Sad Animals) by Jordi Puntí
Reel by George Szirtes
and
The Perfect Hostage: The Life of Aung San Suu Kyi by Justin Wintle (again!)
Somehow, I can't picture Yaotl reading a book on Pregnancy-No Lactation, though.
Jane, I think Yaotl means Programación Neurolingüística (PNL), something we have talked about "por otros pagos".

I've just finished "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" - I know it's not a very ambitious read, but it's an addiction I've had to indulge since I read to my son the first part of Harry's adventures...
Now I'm going to turn to something more demanding, like Tracy Chevalier's "The Lady and the Unicorn" - I love historical novels....

The crimson petal and the white (2002)
After reading his highly original 'Under the skin' I decided to tackle this slightly bigger volume. The jacket promised 'an extraordinarily rich, intricate, intoxicating and deeply satisfying read', which it is.
And:
Jean-Marie Guyau - La morale d'épicure (1874)
to keep up on my philosophy (and my French).

Wow, that's a great reading: Ah you publishing scoundrel!.
I'm currently reading Everything is illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, a really well written story - though it has some weaknesses, with an incredible Ukrainian interpreter.
A more mature work by Safran Foer is the intense and powerful, almost unbearable, Extremely loud & incredibly close.
And - last but not least - I've just read another American writer's work, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, probably one of the greatest novels ever.

Very interesting book on a place still beyond our "civilising" compulsion. Besides, it helps me imagine myself out of the heat we're having since a few days here in Sardinia (around 40° C)...

1) "Khomeini: Life of the Ayatolla"

2) "La mafia nos robó la presidencia"

3) A book about PNL
4) The PDF's guidelines attached to TRADOS 7. Perceived noise level? Pacific Naval Lab? Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy? Punks Need Lovin'?
My guess is that Yaotl used the acronym in Spanish (Programación Neurolingüística, PNL), which is Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in English....

Currently reading:
"Dopo Babele" ("After Babel") by George Steiner
and
"La Russia dopo l'URSS" ("Russia after USSR") by Francesco Benvenuti.
Despite of these readings, there was a time when I read 'easier' books, like "Maria, ihm schmeckt 's nicht" ("Maria, he doesn't like it") by Ian Weiler, and so I enjoyed my holidays in Germany.

I share the same love for Calvino: I love Marcovaldo o le stagioni in città as well as all of his works. I love his creativity!!!

Loved to learn what others are reading right now.
I have started "The peoples act of Love" by James Meek. This is situated in Siberia 1919. Really like reading about other areas in the world and other living habits, preferably in detail:)
Hope I am not changing te subject toomuch, but I am longing for a novel that breathes, oozes, the Southern USA.

Hope I am not changing te subject toomuch, but I am longing for a novel that breathes, oozes, the Southern USA.
I'd like to learn about the local speach a little bit (and some of the culture perhaps), and experience a sweltering summer in rural Southern areas...Haven't found that kind of book yet. I'd order it from anywhere.
Perhaps, in between all the other posts, but not taking up too much space, somebody could suggest a good title for me!
This thread seems like a great opportunity to ask this question to my colleagues who read a lot and are living all over the world.
Or should I start a new topic on this
I've decided to started a new topic on this..
