Michael wrote: "Lol once again a book i want to read that you have either read or going to read it's uncanny. :D

It sounds really good...sad, but good!

I tried to find Wither but couldn't, so brought The Godfather and beautiful copies of Inferno and Dracula

Nice, Knowledge! Dante's Inferno is in a different language?

Lots of crying Carmel?

Carmel wrote: "Brenda wrote: "Lots of crying Carmel? ..."

Did you read my review? So worth reading!!"

Thanks Carmel, I just did! OMG...no wonder it upset you..the parallels you would draw from it and Sheldon, would certainly test your emotions!

Originally it was, but this in English

Mmm! Wondered when I saw 'translator' there!

Carmel wrote...Brenda I just read my original comment, I meant to say that the book was worth reading!"

Haha! I knew you meant that Carmel!!

Brenda wrote: "Mmm! Wondered when I saw 'translator' there!"

It's an amazing italian epic poem, he did two more about Purgatorio & Paradiso. He called the collection The Divine Comedy but I always found Inferno to be his best and the most exciting.

Brenda wrote: "Nice, Knowledge! Dante's Inferno is in a different language?"

Knowledge and Brenda - read and drool! Well, I drooled. One of my daughters-in-law has 18th century copies of all Dante's works, three or four volumes, can't remember how many exactly. Big, bigger than A4 size, pages in excellent condition, red and gold leather binding, written in Italian. (Or maybe Latin? Languages aren't my suit.)

I only saw them once. They came down through her family and will pass on to her eldest son. Drooool...

Monya (aka Mary)

I suck...i bought two books cause I saved money D:

&

Dante to me is a video game that I own for my 360...Hack and slash game in a way..LOL

The video game is based on the book ;) and I enjoyed that game too

Oh my goodness...that's awesome!!! In good condition too...I think everyone reading this thread would be drooling!!!

*jealous*

so even tho i just bought about fourteen books at a bookfest I felt the need to go out and buy to more
and which im pretty sure is a kids book but I love China Miéville alot

Just got Wither, Middlemarch and Robopocalypse from an Angus and Robertson closing down sale

I picked that one up at a borders closing down sale...I can not wait to start it!

I just picked up Happy Birthday: A Novel and Fortune Cookie. I also got The Silent Girl a couple of days ago...all from Big W.

I'm reading Nineteen Minutes. It's okay. Not as gripping as We Need To Talk About Kevin and there are glaring cliches. But it's holding my interest.

Michael, I don't know if you already own these two books, but I just ordered them from Fishpond (free delivery) and noticed they're on your TBR list Alone #1 DD Warren, and Hide #2 DD Warren. Just click on the 'Over 50% off' link, and scroll through, or do a search, that would be quicker....:)

Michael wrote: "No i havnt read them Brenda as they are pretty much impossible to find here in Oz. Pretty much resigned myself to ordering them from os. Cheers for the link you'll have to tell me how they compare ..."

Knew you hadn't read them Michael...saw them on your TBR list ;) Fishpond is an Aussie site...they access some of their stock from OS, but them and Booktopia are Aussie :)

Mine too!!!

I just went to another Angus and robinson closing down sale today and got; Android Karenina, Spiral: A Novel and The Big Over Easy

Michael wrote: "Got this one today. Sarah's Last Wish
Will be the next one i read."

Oh that's great, Michael....I'm still waiting on mine from the library. Let me know what you think when you're done, please :D

Michael wrote: "Will do Brenda i was going to be reading another book next but relegated it to #2 after getting it today. Next im hoping to get We Need To Talk About Kevin as it seems to be quite po..."

Mmmm! Don't think I'll be reading that one...not yet anyway:)

EDIT: There's a thread for this book http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5... A lot of you have been talking about it, so this might add a abit more of an insight for you, by those who've already read it.

my copy of Exquisite Corpse: Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murder in the mail today :D

Just received from Book Depository UK:
Palace Walk
Shadow of the Wind
Caleb's Crossing The Tiger's Wife and To The Last Ridge

Oh nice Joanne...Lovely enjoyable reads there:)

I purchased Alone from a second hand book shop yesterday for only $4.50. Got it home, and realized I'd ordered the same book the other night from Fishpond:( So I've promised it to a friend :)

Michael wrote: "Wow thats quite a swag you have there Joanne.

Happy reading. :D"

@Michael and Brenda

Yes - looks good! But apart from 'To The Last Ridge' which is research, the rest will have to wait till I go on holiday in a month... :(
