GOOD BOOKS FOR YOUR WEEK-END
09/02-03/2011
Here are a few book suggestions for this long week-end:
FICTION:
Life and Fate, by Vasily Grossman
The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, by Umberto Eco
ah ah, another book of Umberto Eco I had never heard of before. Have you read this one?
Woman in the Dunes, by Kobo Abe
another great book if you are into Japanese literature
NON-FICTION:
Sacred Geometry: Deciphering the Code, by Stephen Skinner
A fascinating and inspirational look at the vital link between the hidden geometrical order of the universe, geometry in nature, and the geometry of the man-made world.
All Your Base Are Belong to Us: How Fifty Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture, by Harold Goldberg
The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us, By James W. Pennebaker
how can a grammar geek remain neutral to THAT title!
SO, ANY SPECIAL READING PLAN FOR THIS WEEK-END?

I have yet to read Umberto Eco…I’ll look for your thoughts on that one
My plan for the weekend is to finish Jeffrey Archer’s Only Time Will Tell, and maybe start another book from my review pile.
Hope you enjoy your weekend!

I love Eco, of course In the Name of the Rose, fantastic book; and more recently I read Foucauld’s Pendulum
