I'll paste what I was saying in the last post, and we can go on from there!

Although lyrical and poetic at most parts, it was also a very realistic novel about the hardships of war.

Here's my cover:



It shouldn't take me to long to read it, it's not very thick.

Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

It just happened to read today a novel by the British writer Peter Cheyney, he was writting crime novels with gungsturs and policemen and spionages at the ages of 1930-1950s . I have heard that he was very famous in England back then. The novel i read was about an American agent of FBI who is solving a mystery case in London. Have any of you have read any of his novels? Any opinions?

Recently i read two of his books in a Greek translation: the dirty Habana trilogy and the love stopped in Cuba. Of course i am not sure about the original titles in Spanish. But i guess that there are similar to the translated ones. Have any of you read any of his books? The are describing him as the "Bucowski of the Caribbean" as he is using a very free language concerning women, sex, drink etc. and he is showing us a real image of Cuba with all the good and the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Alkioni2) http://newfiennesforum.yuku.com/topic/1636 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 22:35:14 GMT http://newfiennesforum.yuku.com/topic/1637/t/After-Dark.html After Dark.

Some years ago I worked as an editor and reader for a small publishing house. The publisher himself is Norwegian and that's why his countryman Per Petterson ended up with "us". I proofread one of his novels and when PP came down to promote it I was the one who welcomed the journalists, saw to that the interviews didn't go on any longer than planned, etc. But journalists seem to be a species of their own - extroverted, selfassured and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Nikolenka) http://newfiennesforum.yuku.com/topic/1638 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:27:09 GMT http://newfiennesforum.yuku.com/topic/1630/t/Charles-Dickens.html
This period i am very much into Charles Dickens, i have read all his very well known books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. I have already read - and loved- the tale of two cities which was by all means his masterpiece so far. I have read the "old curiosity shop" . So, you do you have any idea which will be my next Charles Dickens book to read? I just wait for ideas. Do you have a favorite or a particular novel you liked?

It tells the real story of a woman, Eva Khacthadourian. It is a tale of a family ripped apart, about lives that are crushed by something inexplicably horrifying:

Eva's son becomes a killer. Shortly before his sixteenth birthday, Kevin kills seven of his fellow high-school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher.

This mother's worst fears became true.

Eva was a woman, who never wanted children.
