Got Camus's The Stranger, woot....completely different style of writing when compared to The Fall, but I guess that's what happens when you read an author's first novel right after his last..
I'm almost ashamed to say it but I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse series while waiting for the show to start again on HBO.
Never mind if it had a different translator.
There's a vast amount of wiggle room from French to English, and a translator essentially rewrites the book.
M. Grand is one of the great minor comic characters in literature.
I so identify with his stuckness.
I've read The Plague many times and it really stands up to re-reading. There's a unique, almost dreamlike, mood to the story unlike that of any other that comes to mind.
Just finished this, and I think it's really a fun read.
The world from Keef's very unusual perspective.
I had no idea he was so good with a knife.

I wasn't sure I'd live to see this book written:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I'm wondering if this book will come close to doing the subject justice.
In the 1930s, Katz was at the forefront of the incredibly successful Stalinist cultural subversion operations against the US and the western democracies, tasked explicitly with subverting Hollywood and the New York theater to celebrity public support of Soviet positions. He was extremely successful.

Just finished: Decision Points-George W. Bush; It doesn't matter if you like Bush or not this is one of the best written and most interesting autobiographies I have read
about to start: Dead or Alive-Tom Clancy; I've read every one of his other books so I just had to pick this up when it came out
Survival in Auschwitz-Primo Levi; reading it for a history class, but I'm pretty excited about this one as I'm a big WWII history buff

Just finished: Hidden Buddhas - a tale of karma and chaos by Lisa Dalby.
Just started: The Passage by Justin Cronin.

I'm going Greek right now--knocking out the Illiad while reading through Bullfinch's Mythology and Hamilton's The Greek Way
My plan is to hit up a few more epics after that, and then go off in a completely different direction starting in March. I've got quite a bit of Twain and Faulkner sitting unread on my shelf that I figure I should acquaint myself with.
