I bought an English to German translation book. Hopefully it'll be of some use. If not, still something fun to have.

I recently bought Confessions of Felix Krull by Thomas Mann (in German, though). I was walking by my favorite bookstore when I saw it lying there. It cost just 5€, so I had to take it. One of the local theaters is playing it, so I might just read it before going to see it there.

I just bought most of my school books for next semester. They are:
Lady Audley's Secret bv Mary Elizabeth Braddon Bleak House by Charles Dickens Selected Tales by Edgar Allen Poe The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Lois Stevenson The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle A textbook about Latin American culture and one on Victorian novels.
Thankfully some of the required reading overlaps so I only had to buy one book for two classes and I also owned one or two titles already. I'm going to have a busy semester!

The Chronicles of Narnia Series (all 7 of them!) by C.S. Lewis. I remember reading and loving them when I was like 12 years old and thought it was a good idea to reread them!
