Thank you rob on recommending the Asimov guide to the bible. I'm enjoying it.

i don't know good books ON the summerians but i used to read online actual summerican books (translated)

mostly religious stuff but their concerns were very modern (money, luxuries, crops, shitting on their enemies, etc, lol)

do a search and you'll find free.

soo..... is it only pedophiles that read Nabokov?

Lolita is fucking gross in every way.

Ada or Ardor is even grosser, telling the story of two siblings who have a life-long affair that starts at age 12/13. fucking gross. who wants to read this shit?

why is this bullshit considered important?

Elena Ferrante is <3 ! currently reading book two of the neapolitan series

afterwards I will try and translate Stratιgie d'une passion by Nathalie Gassel. I went to a reading this week, and even though I didn't understand her, I immediately fell in love with her? Afterwards we tried to communicate through the help of her friend, who only spoke little english. It was hard, but it was lovely. she brought 2-3 copies of her book to the store and I knew I had to buy it IMMEDIATELY (It's out of print?). Well. And now I sill soon start translating it and i am very excited about it.

First of the month tends to mean starting a new book, and this May 1st I'll be starting this. Curious question for you guys, how many Pulitzer Winner books have you read? This will be the second that I'm sure of. The other one was Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides.

This was (unexpectedly?) SO GOOD. It's about the author's search for her family's history. Her parents came to Germany from the Ukraine as forced labourers during WW2, her mother killed herself when the author herself was very young. Her father lived a bunch longer, but he apparently didn't talk a lot about their family? So, one day the author googles her mother's name, makes a post on a message board, and WHAM! some guy emails her, and, for some reason, helps her research the family on her mother's side. SOMEHOW; they find SOME members of her family, but most of them have never met the author's mother. Very interesting family history. Through one relative, she comes into the possession of one of her aunt's diaries, so one part of the book is the reproduction of that diary. However, she doesn't find out much about her mother in that diary, since the aunt left the family very early to study in Odessa... Though the diary, the author finds out how her family got seperated in the war, though. Third part is the author's own memory of her mother and her own early life in germany. I THINK there is a book out about her father, too. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

I have since added Stephen King's "IT" and "Feed" by Mira Grant.


Finished up "The Lost World" finally last night, and soon starting "Down and Out In The Magic Kingdom" by Cory Doctrow.
