Hi there,

The book I'm currently reading is 'The Essays' by Michel de Montaigne. In a good Dutch translation. I really like it. A wise man he was.

Bye,
Ceesjan

I'm reading, or rather I've almost finished, the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. It's about a flock of teenage genetically altered avian-human hybrids who escape from this laboratory. They are running from the scientists who created them and trying to solve the mystery of the corporation that commissioned their creation and it's plan to create a perfect world by eliminating weak humans and creat a superhuman superior race. Hmm, eliminate the weak ones? Sounds like a certain faction concerned with the autisitic community *coughautismspeakscough*

Oh, are they good? I was thinking about reading those...

They go pretty fast, and they center more around action than any kind of descriptive speaking. But they're fun. Every chapter pretty much ends in a twist. And since the majority of the book is told in 1st person perspective by the main character, Max (who has a rather unique personality), it's hilarious because it focuses on her thoughts. And lets just say she's not very conservative in attitude ^_^

Witch by Marie Brennan.

I had just finished the first book (Warrior) and I was in the mall, where I first saw the book, so I decided to get the second. 8D

The Book-it List topic

Sartre: for beginners By Don Palmer, 1995 (Nice and concise) Sartre would HATE it.

Why you should read Kafka before you waste your life By By James Hawes, 2008 (Tongue in Cheek) Kafka would LOVE it. He would have loved Palmer's book, too. :lol:

Recently finished Man in the Dark by Paul Auster.

It's better than Brooklyn Follies but nowhere near as good as Oracle Night or the New York trilogy.
