- grapes of wrath by john steinbeck

[Profiterol]

the list would be endless..... The Brothers Karamazov by F. M. Dostoevsy, Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller for now

I just finished Catch-22 a few days ago and I loved it! Some parts were especially funny...I often caught myself laughing out loud on the bus.

Brothers Karamazov is also on my list.

There's a giant stack of books on my nightstand...so those are the ones on my list!

So much!. I don't read as much as I used to.

The land where the blues began by Alan Lomax
El tamaño de mis esperanzas & El idioma de los Argentinos by Jorge Luis Borges.
You get so alone at times that it just makes sense by Charles Bukowski
La Peste by Albert Camus
Trotsky's autobiography.

Just typed the books that are priorities for me at the moment. I want to read more this year.. but, with this crazy economy, I need to get more on amazon as there aren't any stores where I live that carry used books.. I walked into this well-known bookstore the other day and spotted a large selection of Borges' work, and each book was at around 50 dlls!.. and then some people complain that no one reads anymore, well, why would that be!
