I'm reading Swann's Way by Proust, Paradise Lost by Milton, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche. they are all slow going the milton is stuffed full of allusions, most of which go right by me (if only the footnotes were on the same damn page rather than at the end of the book!). The Proust is really excellent, although tbh not particularly engrossing. But wonderful writing, even after being translated. the Nietzsche, just started it, slow going I'm reading something else....oh yeah, Lolita by Nabokov. Wonderful writing, can't wait to get back to the states so I can continue it!

I'm reading A Season With Verona and Se Questo È Un Uomo at the moment. Yeah, I love reading several books at the same time. Anyway, the first is quite simply very gripping, I just keep on reading. The second is rather difficult, but well written. Both books I'd recommend.

Is there any way I could read A season with Verona online?

Loved Season with Verona, you are a good student eh? Italicizing titles..!

What is the second book you mention about, and is it available in english translation?

 

[sallyinzaghi]

If a season with verona is really that good I might order it online. Thus far the only books remotely related to serie a that is available to me in the stores is "a history of calcio" and "the italian job", which I am still reading. the rest are MU - pool - gerrard like crap

just finished the bancroft strategy by robert ludlum, big fan of his

so i just started reading the godfather by mario puzo, having recently read the sicillian i thought it was about time to read the book he is best known for

Was the Bancroft strategy any good ?

I am reading "Football grounds - 15th Edition. It is a book with aerial photos of all english football grounds. I have the first edition, so it is interesting to see what has happend in 15 years.

Was the Bancroft strategy any good ?

was a very enjoyable read, but then again i am a big fan of ludlum.

just finished reading luke rheinharts-The Dice Man, an absolute must-read book, very funny and more than a little disturbing it is highly recommended, i just cannot believe it took me so long to get round to reading it.

just started on robert harris-enigma

That's timeless. Awesome.

I am reading "Calcio" by John Foot. Still at the early stages, haven't decided yet if it's good or just another piece of cack on italian football.

Recently concluded Mark Winegardner's sequels to Puzo's Godfather trilogy. Besides the fact that they were great books, Mark really does a stellar job in demonstrating how to write a follow-up to what is perhaps one of the most chronicled novels of all time. He shows no signs of intimidation at all in emulating Mario's style, even butchers it in pieces at times, yet retains the unmistakable flavour of the original which I've read a couple of times. He makes it his own without disrespecting the original, which I must say is a difficult line to tread, having read my fair share of uninspiring spin-offs.

I havent read Godfather the book,ive only seen the movie.The movie has Michael dying in the end.Is that a part of the original book too?If thats so,then how was the story expanded in Godfather returns?.From what ive heard,Godfather Returns focuses on Michael Corleon's life.
