so, I will start Mira Corpora later today

I also got Hilton Als' "The Women" cause I liked "White Girls" so much
Yay books, yay me!

THE FUCK???!?!!! I just finished this
This book was so disturbing and yet so good.

dead_battery, do you know any books similar to this one?
man, I wish I could read it again without knowing what happens...

/edit: probably gonna start The Women now... or maybe I should sleep.

maybe this which came out of the same publishing house

thanks, will see if I'll have money to order it next week!

thanks for the recommendation.
probably gonna make a friend start mira corpora tomorrow. wow.

Great children's picture book. It explores in a simple and honest way topics such as atoms, evolution, biology, cosmology, etc. I bought three copies for the kids of my friends. very cool.

gah, i am halfway trough simone de beauvoir's letters to nelson algren and was just thinking about how she wrote them in ENGLISH and I am reading the german translation. disappointed in myself. probably gonna buy the english version next week and read it from the beginning again. but for now i'll just keep reading the german translation..

can anyone recommend me something by nelson algren?

Nothing wrong with reading a good translation..

Tschingis Aitmatow - Der Tag zieht den Jahrhundertweg
Chinghiz Aitmatov - The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years
