I bought a copy of Stupeur et Tremblements (Fear and Trembling) by Amelie Nothomb. I found it at the library used bookstore. I was so happy! They don't even have any French books in the library so it was really lucky to find one.

I'm not sure why, but last week I was at a bookstore (thats not reallye the part that I don't know about) and I just felt like buying something... so I bought 'All Together Dead' by Charlaine Harris and 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath. I really liked the cobver for the bell jar.. and I remember Rory mentioning it once.. so i thought I'd buy it .

I ordered: Dead until dark Living dead in Dallas Club dead from the book depository and my order finally ariived a couple of days ago! I do! I thought Dead Until Dark was pretty lame when I first started reading it, but once I got used to Sookie's incessant need to tell us how she looks at any given time and the story got going I really got into it. I can't wait for the next ones to arrive!

I like his works as a journalist. It arrived yesterday, I´m going to read it on the train next week. It´s so hard to find his works here, only half of it has been translated into German although he is such an important author. My copy is German but there are two different editions with different titles around so I just refer to it in Italian Sadly my Italian is not good enough for the original

I like his works as a journalist. i love him too, i think he's quite similar to Daniel Pennac one of my favourite writers but at the moment i'm fond of travel books!
