Abnormal Psychology and Modern Life (7th Edition)

 

lulz

Just finished The First Man by Albert Camus

Now I'm on The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway and The Fall by Albert Camus

Everyone claims The Hunger Games to be the next Twilight but I honestly doubt it, the plot doesn't appeal to me... What do you think?

 

I think the comparisons are inevitable mainly because of the whole concept of one girl choosing between two boys, but that's basically where the similarities end (and that concept isn't even that strong unlike in Twilight).

The story, regardless of how improbable, is extremely intriguing. I find it more like the HP series given I sometimes feel I'm reading within a world with a whole new language.

My only recommendation would be to definitely give it a go. If you aren't hooked after the first book then you don't need to go onto the second. What've you got to lose? :D

Don Quijote. :wacky:

The Valley Of Fear

I've just finished The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. I don't even know how to describe it...just read it. It's amazing. :wacky:

Just got done reading "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb. It's like the 5th time I've read it, but like all his other books, it never gets old. He kicks ass!

Recently finished Virginia Woolf's The Voyage Out (brilliant) and Jacob's Room (a bit disjointed and joyce-ish).

Photography books

 

As a keen photographer I'm reading, History of Photography by Josef Maria Eder (Amazon US / UK) offers comprehensive coverage on a collection of articles and rare photographs by pioneers in photography and contains materials for research into the history, technology and aesthetics of the medium. Its so ínteresting. I decided as I was so inspired to give everyone for their birthday this year some of my photography, I found to put the photos on canvas would be extra special and found this excellent offer for it in our area in Ireland. It just makes presents a little more sentimental.

Bad Science - Ben Goldacre

Robert Ludlum - The Matlock Paper

I listened to an audiobook of that story recently. I actually quite liked it, although it's perhaps a bit surreal.

I'm about to finish Carl Sagan's "The demon-haunted world" and I've just started "Burmese days", by George Orwell (Brazilian translations, to be more precise).
