Reading "The Great Gatsby". . . .again

Phesina, I'm so glad you liked "The Royal Physician's Visit." I'll start reading it one of these days and am looking forward to it. Btw, I live on the corner of Struenseegade.

When I think of more good books, I'l let you know.

Oh, that's so funny that your street is named for him! Is Johann Friedrich Struensee well-known still from Danish history? I kind of got the idea from the book that he, and the events and other central participants in the story, faded away into obscurity after the would-be revolution failed.

I took the book back to the library yesterday, wound up coming home with "Lewi's Journey" and "Blanche and Marie" by Enquist.

Yesterday I met a young Swedish woman at the gym. She graduated from MIT last year and is now working as an engineer at Ford Motor Company. I told her I had been reading a number of Swedish and other Scandinavian authors recently and had just finished Enquist's "Royal Physician." She was really enthusiastic and impressed when I mentioned him!

Right now I'm about halfway through "The Man Who Went Up in Smoke."

Again, thanks for the leads, Randi!

Sci-fi books are great! I have never tried any of his books yet, must check it out. I am still reading "Troublesome Minds" by Dave Galanter. Yes, it is a Star Trek novel I began reading it at the beginning of the summer and I got to ONE boring part and just stopped reading for a few weeks. The problem with Star Trek is most of the books, episodes, and a few movies are good but there is one part in all of them where I want to shoot my brains out, then it DOES get good again.

One of my favorite authors is Karin Slaughter and I just received notice from my public library that her newest Undone is ready for me to pick up so I will be starting that one within a day or two. Have several on my nightstand with bookmarks and will finish those but ready to start something new The ones on my nightstand are Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and Christless Christianity by Dr. Michael S Horton.

David, if you are in to sci fi you should check out Joe Haldeman. I read his book The Forever War reciently and now I'm reading the first book in the Worlds trilogy. Very dark sci fi but extremely gripping in my opnion.

Since everyone seems to read Stieg Larsson these days, I finally started with my first one yesterday. It's the first of the trilogy; I think the English title is "The girl with the dragon tattoo" (Swedish title: "Män som hatar kvinnor", German title "Verblendung"). My co-worker gave it to me; she gave up reading after 100 pages, but I find it interesting so far. Saw that there's going to be a movie soon, based on the novel.

Also, I have ordered Dan Brown's new book, "The Lost Symbol". It was delievered today, and I can't wait to read it! But of course I will first finish the Stieg Larsson book! I ordered "The Lost Symbol" in English btw, as the German translation hasn't been released yet.

I'm now reading the sequel, Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There.

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorites of all times. Ranks among The Hobbit and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - all books I read as a youngster but still pick up and read again.

I'm jealous of you reading it for the first time with fresh eyes!
