The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova

How is it? I just read a review of that and now I really want to read it.

At the moment I'm reading Banners Of Gold by Pamela Kaufman. It's pretty good if you like historical fiction.

^ I like it so far. however, I have to note that either it's a combination of the things I'm doing these days (looking for a job, etc), or something else, but it's a fairly easy book to put down. My usual gauge on whether a book is good, for me, is whether I feel compelled to read it in one go. One book that IS like that that I would recommend is Audrey Niffenegger's "the Time Traveler's Wife", if you haven't read that yet.

"Truth and justice" by Anton Hansen Tammsaare

 

[MulletProof]

How do you like it?

so far so good. i'm still in the first half of the half ( ) but the whole environment of the story seems less depressing/dark than what i had previously read from him..very quiet and ..intimate (for lack of a better word) but not in a distubing way like in the unbearable lightness.


have you read this yourself?

Just finished Sarah and The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by J.T. Leroy. Dark, distressing, occasionally funny, and (I found) un-put-downable.
