Well I work in a library so I read everything.

I just finished Franz Kafka's The Trial. I'm now starting Haruki Murakami's The Elephant Vanishes.

My all time favourites are:
Voltaire's Candide
Jonathan Swift's Guilliver's Travels
George Orwell's Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four
Albert Camus's The Outsider and The Plague
Franz Kafka's The Trial and Metamorphosis
Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea
Vladimir Nabakov's Lolita
H.G. Wells's The History of Mr. Polly

to name but a few.


Russell - Thermopylae: The Battle for the West looks really interesting. Can't wait to get m hands on a copy.

Just finishing reading Captain Scott by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Great book about a quite brilliant man by someone who knows what he's talking about.

There have been so many documentaries and books about Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his fatal journey to the South Pole but most are written by people with no clue about the reality of the situations he faced or just how hard and unpredictable the conditions were. Fiennes has been there and experienced it and is in a far better position to judge Scott and attempt to explain exactly why Scott and his team never made it back.

have you read any of Dan Brown's books? its weird they're not in your favourites list. so you don't like them or is it because you haven't read them??

I read all of his books( FaVinciCode. Angles and deamons. deception point. digital fortress). 'angles and deamons' is the best one.

the kite runner is an excellent book. I heard that his(khalid hossaini) new book is even better but I haven't read it yet. plus, the name of the main character in the book is my name too

I found Angels and Demons far better than the Da Vinci Code. But overall I'm really a big fan of Dan Brown.

I just finished Haruki Murakami's After the Quake and After Dark. I'm currently reading Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected - it's a real laugh
