    My last book was "Utopia" by Thomas More.

    I think there is a copy of that book in the house somewhere. Was it any good?

    The link doesn't work, you have to create an account.

    I use http://www.goodreads.com/ as the same thing.

    It's a 100% comunist book! hahahah
    Me, myself, couldn't immagine me living in that society - wearing same clothes, eating the same meals for everyone etc, etc, etc.
    But it's interesting. It has few pages, quick reading.

    Now I started One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Marquez.
    A couple of friend has alrady told me that it's their TOP1 book in their life. Let's see how it goes...

    Oh, yeah, the link dind't work logged out.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I've read all his stuff. Great author. He lived near and taught at the local high school and writes about the fictional Town "Three Rivers" which is near me, so its cool to read about locations that I am familiar with in a fictional sense. Go read about the Norwich State Hospital (now long closed)... that is the mental hospital where his brother stayed in the book I Know this Much is True. Buildings are still standing there... there are some pretty creepy pictures and stuff you can find online that people have taken (by breaking into the abandoned buildings). It'll give you a whole different feeling on that book if you knew what went on in that place while it was in operation.

    "The Gathering" by Anne Enright. I've been reading tons of Irish books this semester. Makes sense since I'm taking an Irish women authors class.

    I know OSC is vilified for his views on homosexuality, but I try to separate artists and their art. I'm currently reading Ender in Exile.
