Up Island by Anne Rivers Siddons

 

[vince]

I like this thread. I bought all my Christmas books for friends and family from the recommendations on this thread, and another thread in another place but from some of the same people if you know what I mean.

Two books.
The first is a gift from my daughter.
The Wasted Vigil by Nadeem Aslam, tells a tale that takes place in Afghanistan over the course of the last thirty years, while dipping into history back to the time of the Buddha. The book strongly evokes the atmosphere of Micheal Ondaate's The English Patient. It's a love story, a war story a story of fear, revenge and redemption. I'm liking this one.

The other book is 1434- The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance by Gavin Menzies. The title pretty much says it all. It is a sequel to 1421 by the same author. Both books are very fascinating, with lots of information about the science and history of navigation, art, technology and discovery. But they are written in a very dry in somewhat boring prose. I got half way and now I am just skipping around, cherry picking the more interesting bits. It's worth a read.

Anne Rivers Siddons "Colony"

 

[Pandora77]

I usually read 2- 3 or even more books at the same time.

Right now it's "The Vampire Lestat" out of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles,
"Gone with the wind", Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" and Goethe's "Faust".
Next one I am gonna get is "The divine comedy" by Dante Alighieri. I can't believe I haven't read it so far.

 

[midlifebear]

I, too, tend to have three or four books going at the same time. Currently:

La Región Más Transparente, Carlos Fuentes

La Última Niebla, María Luisa Bombal

La Naissance du Jour, Colette

I'm not trying to be pissy, but these are the three book I'm sucked into right now and they are all very "torrid" in their way. :smile:

The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins

Fascinating reading!

 

[nudeyorker]

I'm normally not into this sort of read but yesterday on the way home I picked up The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. It's pure escapism, with a riveting plot! It's written so that your imagination gets a thorough work out.

Climbing Mount Improbable - Richard Dawkins

 

[D_Tim McGnaw]

I'm reading Orhan Pamuk's "The Museum of Innocence" The Museum of Innocence : Readers' Reviews of the Book by Orhan Pamuk

He's my favourite author of fiction atm. It's a spellbinding read.
