Started Three Roads to Quantum Gravity by Lee Smolin. An interesting read given the author's opinions in his latest book just a couple of years later.
Also begun reading La fiesta del Chivo by Mario Vargas Llosa. Don't have an opinion on it yet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Languages: Speaking Korean - Francis Park. FSI Korean Volume 2. Assimil Spanish with Ease (and random other supplementary Korean and Spanish books).
Fiction: I'm reading "Crown of Stars" by Kate Elliot (Book 1) as I recently got into the fantasy genre because of George R R Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. I want to pick up the newest Terry Pratchett book soon. I've got Speaking Korean 2 and 3 and Spoken Korean coming quite soon as well as 'Angels and Demons' in Spanish for L-R practice. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have just read a book from our library. There are quite some interesting non-fictional books about natural sciences to find - all of them are in German.
My book: Charlotte Kerner, Sternenflug und Sonnenfeuer - Drei Astronominnen und ihre Lebensgeschichten, 2004 (Three female astronomers and their life stories) The book deals with the biographies of: - Maria Cunitz (1604-1664) - Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) - Maria Mitchell (1818-1889) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 16 October 2010 at 3:46pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Currently I am reading 血と骨 (chi to hone), a Japanese novel written by a Japan-based Korean author, Yang Sogil (梁石日). I am just done with book 1, and will continue book 2 tomorrow. It is a highly recommended novel for all those Japanese speakers to learn more about the life of Korean in Japan, especially during the period of 20s-70s...

I tend to read things like the 7 day weather forecast to help with that. I believe that whether it will rain or not is a topic that leaves both parties in any brief conversation happy. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
