I have run out of books to read any ideas? |
||||||||
|
|

I read a really good review of David Mitchells last book "cloud atlas", really appeals to me. I'll be reading that when I finally have some money again. |

||||||||

and I reccomend it. The disco section is a very cool glimpse into the newyork scene back in the day. The hip-hop section is very good as well. |
||||||||

"hegemony or survival" by Noam Chomsky was the last book i came across. |
||||||||
|

Who is it by? Normally I would just put a title into a search engine. I don't think the book would be top of the list! |

if you can stand a little pretense and old time feel, read "Sons and Lovers" by D.H. Lawrence. it will rip your heart out. |
