    'Unser Jahrhundert' by Helmut Schmidt and Fritz Stern
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine

    also

    The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams. This one's a re-read for me. I love Douglas Adams' books.

    Just finished Under the Dome by Stephen King. Wanted something easy reading to get me back into the habit of reading as a couple of dull books had led to me reading less.

    Seems to have worked (900 pages read in a few days) ... if you like Stephen King you'll like this. Fast paced with characters you can root for.

    EDIT: dunk I really enjoyed (if that's the right word :? ) The Book Thief
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I love that book so much, except it makes me sad that she died young.

    I just finished Three Stations, the new Martin Cruz Smith. Liked it, but thought it was too short.

    Tomorrow the last of the Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay, comes out. Yes the books are written for teen girls, but the first two books are great great great. Not gooey Twilight stuff either.
