Veruca Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The Great Gatsby, I have not read it in ages and am finding it to be as good as I remember. The thing about F.Scott Fitzgreald is his writing style never seems dated. He is one of my favorite authors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocico Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 A book by Noam Chomsky, funny a few years ago I would never have read thisas I would have classed myself at the other end of the spectrum to him howevermy world view has changed somewhat and I can very much identify when he talksabout wage slavery and consumerisation.

Yezrel Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I´m reading a lot of expert books about my disorder OCPD. There are different books, articles and authors. It´s very interesting to understand the own disorder. It helps to understand and change the behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arboria Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The Monster of Florence, which is at times unpleasantly graphic and absurd, and not my usual genre (true crime), but it's turning out to be not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veruca Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I ahve read two books in two days....Looking For Alaska~ John Green. I have to say I was very disapointed in it. Everyone raved and I liked one single little paragraph and that was it.Warm Bodies~ Isaac Marion. This was much better. I find it kind of funny that a book about a Zombie made me laugh,smile and feel more than a book about real people.I now plan to finish Soul String by Midori Snyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Right at the moment, I'm reading my Finnish-English-Finnish dictionary in order to check translations for certain words On a more serious note, I'm currently reading 'Escape from Camp 14' by Blaine Harden. It's a story about a young North Korean man who's born and raised in one of the infamous prison camps, but manages to escape one day. Has been quite a stirring and shocking reading experience this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Today I'm reading The Tell-Tale Brain by V.S. Ramachandran. An excellent read! It's dumbed down just enough for those of us who have no real knowledge of neuroscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
