Synchronicity...

This book is horrible and hard to stand, but it's worth reading to realize that the Goulag was worth Nazi extermination camps. Remember that Staline made 20 billions of death...

I read the book of life and was dismayed to find that I wasn't in it.

Jesus saves, but Gerrard scores on the rebound.

To get back to the topic (ahem):

I read a thick volume named "A Gothic Treasure of the Supernatural", containing the famos gothic novels "The Castle of Otranto" (Horace Walpole), "Frankenstein" (Mary Shelley), "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (Robert Louis Stevenson), "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (Oscar Wilde), "Dracula" (Bram Stoker) and "The Turn of the Screw" (Henry James). I liked "The Turn of the Screw" best; it really made me shudder.

Just finished The book of Illusions by Paul Auster, a real good read, maybe a great read.

Reading for the second time a novel by a Danish writer called Peter Hoeg. The book is called Smilla's sense of snow, this is a incredibly good book. There is also a movie made from it but that one is not so good.

"Smilla's sense of snow" has the most unusual sexual act I ever came across, and I read about a lot of unusual ones

In the UK it was called Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow - a very interesting book, although I thought that the relentless abuse of the heroine by (seemingly) everybody she met was rather overdone. A fascinating insight into one of the more unusual communities on our planet all the same.
