February 22, 201214 yr Metamorphosis - Frank Kafka (not really my cup of tea...does anyone get it?) --- Robert Bryant http://www.trailways.com/team-trailways/motorcoach-listing-companies/companies/silverstate-nv I'm currently listening to that in audiobook form (Benedict Cumberbatch's version of it is awesome :awesome:) and I quite like it. Very entertaining. I'm rereading the Sherlock Holmes canon, currently at A Scandal in Bohemia. :nice:

February 29, 201214 yr Metamorphosis - Frank Kafka (not really my cup of tea...does anyone get it?) --- Robert Bryant http://www.trailways.com/team-trailways/motorcoach-listing-companies/companies/silverstate-nv I listened to an audiobook of that story recently. I actually quite liked it, although it's perhaps a bit surreal. I'm currently listening to that in audiobook form (Benedict Cumberbatch's version of it is awesome :awesome:) and I quite like it. Very entertaining. I read it last year, and the ending left me speechless :blank: I liked it, but... It's so surreal.
March 27, 201214 yr Carsten Jensen - "We, The Drowned" and Ernest Hemingway - "In Our Time". Finished "The Sun Also Rises" :nice: loved it.
March 30, 201214 yr De Complete Avonturen van Sherlock Holmes, Oh god I didn't know that you could find such a horrible translation in a book :shame:
April 11, 201214 yr A book that my aunt put together after my grandparents died. It contains excerpts of letters and documents from 1933 to 1942. My grandparents sent each other letters everyday whenever they were separated (during the war, for instance). It's very interesting and damn those two were soooo in love! :wacky: And also incredibly devoted Christians. Like, really.
April 11, 201214 yr ^It really is. It's a great source of information on how people lived at that time, what they thought of the war, and how they got through it (and other ordeals of life). And religion had a very important place in their lives, it's incredible! I'm not saying that it's amazing and that everyone should live like that, but that's definitely an important element in the letters, and it's quite interesting. I really admire my grandparents. That book, and the values that they transmitted, are a great legacy :)
April 14, 201214 yr that is pretty interesting Coeurli, you are very lucky to have that legacy. Cuentos del Poniente and Cuentos españoles contemporaneos. a bunch of contemporary tales of different authors.
