Since when do those books have words?

lovely bones by Alice Sebold

before that
city of god by st. augustine
communist manifesto karl marx
satanic verses salman rushdie
hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by douglas adams
war and peace leo tolstoy
a day in the life of ivan ? by solchenistzen (sp)

I just finished "The World is flat" ( a must read for an insight into the economics of the future) and Freakonomics( a very different point of view to logic). Now i want to read a novel. Also want to read The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini. Can anybody lend me that book??!!

I just finished reading "The Dilbert Principle" by Scott Adams, a very good book and more of a self-help guide for anyone that has ever worked in a dysfunctional organisation. (Most of us!)

It's a relaxing read and explains a lot about the world of complex organisations and why some people make the decisions they do. (Hint: It is because they're idiots).

that is a great book, i really enjoyed reading it last summer.

right now i'm reading
On Beauty by Zadie Smith which i'm liking,
and snow flower of the secret fan which sort reaminds me of teh chinese princess which i totally hated.
i finished The constant Princess by Phlippa Greogrywhich i tottaly liked, but when reached the end was disappointed it has the same ending as The other Boleyn girl, is it possible for a writer to chose one ending for 2 novels!
