Hi everyone!
@Jandros: Welcome back dear JJ... we missed u lots and lots!!
@Elraisa: How's Mist of Avalon? would you recommend it?
@Sohuda: What are you reading currently?
On my side, I can say I have now less than a hundred pages of Palace Walk to read, and I'm loving that book very much. I'll definitely get hold of the second and third books

@citlalli: heyyy! 'sup?? I'm reading "The Three Musketeers" I'm on page 430 out of 550!
The hours of pain have yielded good,

Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
@Citlalli : Hiiiii, 1000 pages to go
wish me luck
Good luck for the trilogy , glad you loved it
@Sohuda:
Yes it is the first part , it is about a family (3 generations) living in the beginning of the 20 cetury (from 1919 revolution & go on) ..

@Sohuda: wow! you're reading a real classicyup, Palace Walk is the first book of the Cairo trilogy

@El raisa: you're talking about "Palace Walk" right?! hmmm sounds really interesting! I wanna read it!
@citlalli: yep! classics are where I started reading, and so I enjoy them very much! in fact I have more than 20 classics in my shelf waiting to be read, along with other books

During the summer I read many books and the one I liked the most is Το σταυροδρόμι των ψυχών (=The crossroad of the souls). It's really an amazing book that you just can't stop reading.
P.S. Layla mou, I also read a book of a romanian writer, though the original book is written in english as she's been living in US for some time.
Άνθρωποι τύχης είδωλον επλάσαντο, πρόφασιν ιδίης αβουλίης.

So, who's the writer? And what's the name of the book?
Train to Trieste by Domnica RadulescuSo, who's the writer? And what's the name of the book?

Never heard of it!Train to Trieste by Domnica Radulescu
Did you like it?
The plot is nice but she uses the "historical present" tense a lot, something that I find really weird for I'm used to other styles of writing. But I liked it

Citlalli, thank you so much! Of course I miss all of you lots and lots, whenever I'm away for more than a few days
Maria_gr, it's been a long time since I've even said hello! Hope all is well with you
Usually I like to finish a book before I list it here, but for months I've been keeping a book by my bedside for occasional reading, and only occasional reading, because it's impossible (for me) to digest the contents of this book in a short time. It's titled The Wealth and Poverty of Nations, by David S. Landes. It's an incredibly interesting read.

I heard it shocked the market !!! best selling again !!, I just can not convince myself to read for him !!!

yeah, well, it's a highly anticipated book! He's a great author, I've read all of his books! you should start with Angels & Demons, it's a masterpiece! truly!!
also Deception Point is good, and Digital Fortress, they each deal with different issues! The Da Vince Code is good, but not his best!

Mmhhh, in that case maybe I should give him a second chance with another book, since quite frankly The Da Vince Code didn't stir enough interest in me for further reading him
