Books you are reading right now

[Zorak]

finished my crusades book. Now rereading, Path to the Spiders' Nest by Italo Calvino. A story about a young boy who steals a pistol from a German sailor, whom is a frequent customer of his elder sisters services. From then on, the boy finds himself entangled into a world of war, resistance, fascism and communism; all that he can't understand.

Also have Mr Palomar, Invisible Cities and If on a Winter's Night a Traveller (a book about a book by the author about you trying to read said book) all by the same author.

Albert Camus: The Outsider

I'm actually not reading this right now, but it's supposed to be a school project in fall. It wasn't at my local library, so I have to borrow it from a distance, and it'll arrive on Friday the 22th.

'Til then I'm reading a Swedish book called "Innan jag somnar" (translated to "Before I fall asleep") by Linn Ullman. Any other Swedish-speakers here?

Ya should like it. It's one of the best books ever written. I studied it a few years ago and will again this year for a term.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See

"It is believed that nu shu -- the secret-code writing used by women in a remote area of southern Hunan Province -- developed a thousand years ago. It appears to be the only written language in the world to have been created by women exclusively for this own use."

It's fascinating 19th century Chinese historical fiction.
