Re: What are you reading?
I am reading a story called sarkash written by Mehmood Ahmed Moodi. Its part long. Im on part 1 of 12.
Recently read the novel by Albert Camus, named The Outsider. And there is another book that i'm reading that i'll recommend to all struggling artists, its title is "The Artist's Way" by Julia.
The outsider? Or the stranger?
I think I read the stranger in HS it was pretty good. :)
Why do you kill, Zaid? by Juergen Todenhoefer

The outsider? Or the stranger?

I have an old translation of the collected fiction of Albert Camus, It named it as "The Outsider", originally in french. I guess you might have a new translation, And yes its very good and personal.
Agree with you if you people know book which is like "angels and DEmons"please share its name.
Now a days I am reading Lee Child “the hard way” its reacher series they are fine and next in line is “elena Forbes” “our lady of pain”
Re: What are you reading?
I am reading The Last Mughal, by William Dalrymple. Yet another master piece, and very well researched. I am once more infatuated with history and historical places!
Re: What are you reading?
^ Excellent reading choice! I read his previous book 'from the holy mountain' and thought that was great, but this one definitely surpasses it :)
Re: What are you reading?
I am in the middle of so many books and don't really have the motivation to finish any of them. I admire you people for finding the time! I can barely make it through my lecture notes...
however:
The conference of birds
The female ennuch
Stalins biography
Burmese days
Fanon
errr
...some others that I completely forget.
just to place this in context
The economist is lying on my floor, forlorn and abandoned whilst I waste away on gupshup.
^ Excellent reading choice! I read his previous book 'from the holy mountain' and thought that was great, but this one definitely surpasses it :)
Have you read The City of Djinns?That was the first book of Dalrymple which I read, and have fallen in love with him ever since:) And what I like most about his writing style is that unlike most historians he is very objective and unbiased. Also he is aware of the cultural and religious differences between say Muslims, Hindus and the British, that helps him look at the events with an open mind, and from every perspective.
Re: What are you reading?
^ I totally agree! He is a great historian and travel writer and is one of the few authors where i have read one of his books, then have wanted to read all of his books! I read them all in the worng order, so i read his newest ones first, then his oldest last. City of Djinns is wonderful and i love the way he depicts the Persian massacre and Indian mutiny.... his description of Delhi in this book gave me the impetus to go and see it for myself!
'In Xanadu' is my next one to read... i think this was his first?
Re: What are you reading?
Yes Maroush. That's his first book. Don't worry, I am also reading them all in wrong order:) I wish I could go and see Delhi for myself, but I doubt that they will issue a visa so easily. Espceially with the current relations between Pakistan and India.
Re: What are you reading?
^ his books look interesting!
what's the correct order in which to read them? is his writing more a non-fiction or fiction type of work?
Re: What are you reading?
I've read
The Twentieth Wife (really good historical book about the Mughal time period)
*Hot Fudge Sundae Blues *(it's a Reader's Circle book and a good one about mother/daughter relationships)
The Women of Brewster Place (Another recommended book. Contains stories about the various African American women that live on Brewster Street)
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (the second book I enjoyed of hers after Pride and Prejudice)
*Breath Eyes Memory * by Edwidge Danticat (A book about how a tragedy affects the life of a woman and her daughter)
Krik? Krak! by Edwidge Danticat (Vignettes about lives of various characters set in Haiti)
**
Catcher In the Rye** by Salinger. (Soo funny, so casual, so entertaining, so simple)
And now I will be reading the best seller, Lake of Dead Languages, a mystery involving the voodo practices of the Adirondacks region.
In the future, I'm interested in reading, Inheritence of Loss. If any of you have read it, lemme know if it's good.
