'The physician' by Noah Gordon

 

I can't remember where, or when I read him, but his an excellent writer. If I'm not wrong, I read "Jerusalem" or "The Mossad" Or "The Rabbis" or some book that was called like that [i might be absolutely wrong this time] but so dar, what I've read, has been about Middle East History, the Jews, Arabs and so... I really like him, though I feel I should read more of his work.

 

saint exupéry

Léa, we agree here, completely. Thought, and as it happened before, I've read only a small amount of his work, therefore any recommendation you could 'make' me , would be wonderful.

 

"crime and punishment"-Dostoievski

If you haven't read that book' date=' you've lost half of your life! Fedor [Dostoievsky'] is by far, one of my favourite writers. I consider "Crime & Punishment" an excellent book, but he has some mayor pieces [which unfortunately don't know the name in english!]

2.- Crónicas de une Muerte Anunciada - G.G. Marquéz

3.- Nausea - Albert Camus[it could be Sartre, thought I'm quite sure it's Camus]

4.- Albert Camus, Gabriel Garcia Marquéz, Fedor Dostoievsky, Herman Hesse, William Golding, Marcel Proust.....

'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh

 

*two thumbs up*

EXCELLENT book.

 

I personally don't read that much, don't have time for that... but the last one I read was Trainspotting as well (although I stopped somewhere in the middle due to lack of time).

Last book I read and actually finished was 'True' by Martin Kemp.

2. Last book you've read - The Odessey by Homer (and not by choice mind you)

 

 

Homer is great! You make look this book as bad, but reall is not; maybe it's a bit complicated, too many characters and myths and epic things, but once you get it, it's marvellous! [personal opinion really]

anybody have any suggestions on good books to read?
