I read classic books in the last years. Most of the authors are dead since centuries and I love it. Christian Hofmann von Hofmannswaldau (1616-1679),
Goethe, Schiller, Heine, Heim, Trakl and many other poets. The second line is philosphy Nietzsche and Kant are my favourites. The sociologist Niklas Luhmann an contemporary theorist is the author I have read most. At the moment I'm reading Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, but i think Nietzsches Zarathustra is the book I've read 10 times or more.

Goethe is amazing.

I have a book entitled Napoloen by Emil Ludwig which I treasure greatly. It in are many Goethe quotes that are centered around Napoleon. My favorite (and yes, I have it memorized):

On Judgment day before God's throne
There stood at last Napoleon.
Satan had his list begun
Of thing the Bonaparte's had done
When God the Father or God the Son
Cut Satan short before God's throne.
(and said?) "If you're bold ennough to take him,
In Your kingdom You may place him."

I have already packed that book or else I'd double check the exact word. I use to know it by heart because I loved it so much.

And if anyone loves Napoleon, that book (Napoleon by Emil Ludwig) is a must.

Do you guys get a version of The Metro newspaper?

I have no idea why, but this made me think of a book I loved growing up called If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.

We do, I take it that you saw them before?

Yes, I did! And I noticed another post you made (about Hammer movies) coincided with their review of "The Resident"!

A neuroanatomy manual.

That sounds really interesting, but given my recent obsession with the body, its functions and its relation to the mind, its little wonder.

I'm reading it because it's a good basis to dig into psychology.

I’m reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I didn’t like it at first and I almost gave up reading. However, I'm glad that I didn't because it’s amazing. I see myself in that little girl in the book. The story goes just fine for now and every character has its own purpose, what is something I respect and like seeing in books.
It has a potential to be on my 50 favourite books list

The thing I find very interesting is that everything is happening in the Hitler's time, but I must admit that the same thing has actually made me to put the book away at first.

I finally finished 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was could, but I couldn't decypher what happened at the end. But still, no spoilers, so don't explain it on this forum.

Um, what else... I started reading the Alex Cross series by James Patterson, and I like those novels. I'm on Kiss the Girls, and I'm about ready to kill Casanova. The bastard...

There is one book which I could read over and over. It's called White Noise by Don deLillo.

I kind of hate myself for liking the City of Bones series by Cassandra Clare. I usually refuse to read teen adult books because there's a ridiculous lean "love at first sight". This series is no exception.
