The Left Hand of God - Paul Hoffman (never even heard of him).

Picked it randomly in the library, been ages since I read a book, I'm loving it so far.
The Nazis - a warning from history. Though must admit I've kinda given up.
Fiction for my course: Dante - Vita Nuova, Divina Commedia; Petrarca - Il Canzionere.
Fiction for my own pleasure: Nick Hornby - High Fidelity
Non-Fiction for my course - Pietro Beltrami - Gli Strumenti della Poesia; I Luoghi dell'Arte Vol. 2 (multiple authors) ; Linguistica Generale (multiple authors)

Oh, what fun :rolleyes:

Just finished 'Gentlemen and Players', by Joanne Harris. Just wow.
The Curious incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Haddon. It was suggested to me by my lecturer, its more interesting than I thought it would be. :smile:

I've been reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. It's really good. And I've literally just started Philip Roth's Sabbath's Theater but don't know that I can really read two books at once so may have to abandon that for a bit. Certainly looks interesting though :smile: I also need to read Captain Corelli's Mandolin over half-term for English.

AMAZING book. really cleverly written. half the fun lies in trying to figure out what he is on about! :wink:
'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee currently, but I need a couple of new books to read, preferably dystopian, for someone who enjoyed 'The Road' and '1984', any recommendations?
