  • Zig Zag - José Carlos Somoza
    Next - Micheal Chrichton
    Empire of the Ants - Bernard Werber


I've read ZigZag in Dutch, Next in English and Empire of the Ants in French. Currently reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X (English), and Werber's latest book 'Paradis sur mesure' (Custom-built Paradise). I highly recommend any of Werber's books you can find- I've read all 14 of his books. :D

Are you a reader? ;)

Heart Of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
On The Road - Jack Kerouac

It is pretty short. It was the basis of Apocalypse Now. Obviously they jazzed the story up a bit for the film.

Re: What are the last 3 books you have read?

hmmm surprised at f0xx's post, considering the unequalled literary heritage of Bulgaria :lol:

Don't read as much as I used to unfortunately but if I could choose three books to have with me on a deserted island they would be:

Spike Milligan's war memoirs (all volumes but I'll count them as one!)
Salinger's masterpiece - The Catcher in the Rye
Luke Rhinehart - The Dice Man
