Who wrote it? What's it about? Would you recommend it to others?

I'm currently reading "The Bookseller Of Kabul" by Asne Seierstad. She spent 4 months living with the family of a man called Sultan Khan. He defied the Afghan authorities for years by selling books despite being imprisoned and tortured by the Taliban and having his books publicly burned. I'm about halfway through the book and I'm really enjoying it. It's not just about the bookseller himself but also things that happen in the day to day life of his family. It's a fascinating insight into another country and culture. I would definitely recommend it.

I am reading the Mill on the Floss by George Burns, I think?Its a wonderful story and I still love the simple innocent way its written and virtually travel in time reading it and picturing what a wonderful place the world used to be back then. But I am only through the first chapters I know the gets a bit messy later..

The Mill On The Floss is a really good book - I read it a few years ago. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as you read further. Thanks for your response.

Funnily, I remember reading a book with your name for title, long back!
It was written by Harold Robbins.

Yes I think he did write a book called Stiletto.

I am reading 'Veronica Decides to Die' by Paulo Coelho. This talks about a girl who has all the reasons to be happy and contented with life but still is bored of life because it doesn't have anything special happening. Life's like a routine for her with no new or different thing happening. And so she decides to commit suicide and ultimately ends up in a mental asylum declared a patient of depression who has just five days to survive because the over-dosage of sleeping pills damages her heart. And it is during these five days of hers she's spending in that asylum, that she she understand what life and living is all about. Am really liking the book a lot. A must read. Not too heavy or depressive.

That sounds interesting - thanks for telling us about it Shilpi0202. I haven't read any of Paulo Coelho's books yet although I have a copy of The Alchemist on the "books still to read" shelf of my bookcase. I may add "Veronica Decides To Die" to it.

I don't have much time to spend reading either but I usually read in bed (or sometimes in the bath!). Thanks for your response.

I am currently reading "Front Row", which is about US Vogue editor in chief, Anna Wintour. I'm really enjoying it!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

I read some good reviews of that book in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago. Might add that to my list. Thanks for your response savingstargirl.

Right now I am not reading anything. I have just finished a book by a regional author, in Malayalam language.
I have bought a book yesterday, "Shipwrecks" by Akira Yoshimura and translated by Mark Ealey. I will start it tomorrow. Its about a poor coastal village in medieval Japan.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

I read it a couple of weeks ago SunSix - really enjoyed it as I'm sure you will too. It's quite a clever and unusual story I think. Thanks for your response.

I'm reading two books at the moment, one at home in the evenings and one on the bus to and from work.

The first book is 'The Reality Dysfunction' by Peter F. Hamilton. It is science fiction set in the year 2611. Its told from multiple points of view, but the main character is an independent starship captain. Humanity finds itself under attack from an unknown and vastly superior enemy and must find a way to defeat the threat before their society is destroyed.

The second book is 'Excession' by Iain M. Banks. This is also science fiction (this isn't all I read, I'm just on a sci-fi kick at the moment). I've barely gotten into this one, so I don't know what its about yet.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

I used to read quite a lot of science fiction but not so much now. I know what you mean about being on a sci-fi kick. I go through phases with the types of books I read too. Thanks for your response.

I am reading God Delusion, I recommend it only if you want to know if you have an open mind and have interest in religion issues (atheism).

The next book I think I will read is 1984, by Orwell (this month I am reading again some books I already read some time ago).


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

I quite often go back to books that I've not read for years. I've not read 1984 since I was at school so that would be a good one or Animal Farm of course. Loved that book when we studied it at school. Thanks for your response

I'm reading THE SAME SWEET GIRLS by Cassandra King. It's Chick Lit but for the more "seasoned" chick. The Same Sweet Girls is the name of a club of six southern belles who went to college together. They meet twice a year for a weekend. When the book begins they are all on the cusp of turning fifty. The chapters vary points of view between the characters. We see how their lives have gone and their take on the other women. It's very good. I'm a little more than half through it and expect it will hold my attention to the end.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

Sounds a bit more interesting than the usual Chick Lit stuff which isn't really my cup of tea normally but I have been known to read it if I'm on holiday or whatever. Thanks for your response.

Do textbooks count? I'm reading Ethics by McKinnon. It's a textbook we have to read in my philosophy class. It's not fiction but it's interesting.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3189)   ranked 68 out of 9,001 in reading  6 years ago

Of course. I did philosophy for a while at college but couldn't really get to grips with it. Good luck with your studying and thanks for your response.
