BALLACK Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 "Schinders List" by Thomas Keneally. Is a great book about how Grman Nazi Oskar Schindler saved the lives of 1000 polish Jews during the Holocaust. It's an award winning book and film and now reading it i know why. I intend to read more War books through out the year. Stoichkov, good to see you in this forum. Are you getting bored of the Southern League Hall of fame, EistnWast or both?

Stoichkov Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Stoichkov, good to see you in this forum. Are you getting bored of the Southern League Hall of fame, EistnWast or both?I really cannot compete with the stuff on that forum. I don't have as much time on my hands as i did a few weeks previously. I thought about a Southern League Hall of Shame list but couldn't be bothered. Anyhoo.....On with da book club!!

Medziotojas Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've a limited supply of books here at the moment, so I rely a lot on what other ex-pats are reading. I've just finished "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've now moved on to "365 Lithuanian Verbs" - riveting stuff I know, but needs must.

khitajrah Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wuthering Heights. And it's amazing. Believe the hype, people. I loved Wuthering Heights but I admit I did cover my eyes when I read the bit about Heathcliff dangling the boy over the stairs. Yes, covered my eyes while reading a book (I get far too in to them).

Njugle Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Perfume by Patrick Ruskind. What an ugly beautiful, attractive repulsive story. I could write lots more about it, probably a good sign.... Different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare green Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've been reading the didius falco novels by lindsay anderson - they are detective stories set in the Roman world. Not only are the stories interesting - there are some quite modern day anecdotes and and amusing observations. There have been a couple of good adaptations put on to the radio(radio4)of the stories - sadly not nearly enough! I have bought and read a few of these books now - and some are available at the library. you may be pleasantly surprised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seggie Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton. Set in the 1930s in London, its centres round a lonely tragic, good-hearted guy, his alcoholism and hopeless obsession with a woman, whom, in his 'dead moods' - blackout or schizophrenic periods - he decides he must kill. Dark, depressing, but brilliantly written and full of insight into dark, seedy, tragic parts of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
