Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

I second that, just finished over the weekend!!! What a great read, could not put the book down!!

irving stone, Freud biography.

And I'll 'third' that - Dan Brown's Inferno - square in the middle and plan to finish tonight. If you can't read it, you can always wait for the movie. There's no movie YET but Sony has the rights.

Right now I am reading 50 shades of gray triology!!! its AMAZING!! has anyone else read it?

I've promised myself for years to read it and now with my Kindle I have it, - Portnoy's Complaint, by Philip Roth, it's absolutely entertaining and Roth let's his imagination really fly. Super.

Try reading the RIVERS OF LONDON books by Ben Aaronovitch.

Great entertainment! The fourth book is out at the end of July.

(A good Cigar, a nice glass of Single Malt, the Kindle in hand. Relaxing on the terrace on a warm evening... smirking at the world)

Have a good summer All

Not a great literary work, but very entertaining!

Carson McCuller's The Heart is a Lonely Hunter-for about the 3rd time- will take your breath away!

Has anybody read "The Hundred Year Old Who Cilmbed Out a Window and Disappeared"?

Am I the only one or is the English translation rather poor and even wrong in places?

Edit: Or maybe I just can't read....

For me that added to the charm of the book. I really enjoyed it.

I am enjoying it, too! Was just wondering.

I am reading "Er ist wieder da" (T. Vermes). It's better and more cleverly made than I thought. Style is strange, nobody will ever know how Hitler would speak/write as narrator. But writing the way he wrote his real book would be stylistically speaking just impossible to read nowadays. Probably a necessary compromise but nonetheless disappointing.
One must know Germany very well to read this book, otherwise, most of it will be misunderstood or not understood at all.

Economics in 1 Lesson
by Henry Hazlitt

Highly recommended. It's very readable.

I was reading it and enjoying it, then other things got in the way. I must finish it!

I have just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry Love every page!

I started reading what some people would call a modern classic???
The Shining
