The book of Natascha Kampusch; 3092 days?? In English?? In dutch: 'de Diefstal van mijn jeugd'.
So heavy but so interesting to read her dark experiences, I feel so sorry for her but I admire her for her enduring strength and longing for a ''normal life''. Poor girl, but it is interesting to read..She actually had a nice writing style, very simple and normal, I like that, it gives you the feeling she is still! a normal girl or at least wants to be..

I've finished the book by Natascha Kampusch - 3096 days
Now started reading Misha by Misha Defonseca,
a almost true story about a little girl who is living in the WOII and Jewish. The Gestapo take away her parents to Auschwitz while she stays with another family who are taking care of her.
Eventually she escapes and decides to find her parents back, she makes a journey of 4000 km in 4 years across several countries in Europe, on her own. After hunger and coldness she is closer to death than alive, but then the wolves in the forests find her and raise her. She becomes almost one of them and doesn't know how to stay alive in the human world after returning to peaceful Germany.
Her journey ends at her hometown but she never finds her parents back :-( I saw the movie which is called Survivre Avec Les Loups and I recommend it to all of you who are interested in drama stories which are based on true events. (though not entirely true because she doesn't remember everything from her long and incredible journey)

I just finished reading The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry. Succccch a beautiful book. I am going to read Barry's other books now.
Now that I've finished that, I'm reading Under Fishbone Clouds and I can't for the life of me remember the author's name. I think that it is probably a good book, but seeing as I'm sick, everything feels mediocre to me.

"Kiki's Delivery Service" by Eiko Kadano
I noticed it while browsing my public library a few days ago and thought that I should give it a read since I love the movie so much.
I'm kinda surprised by how short of a book it is.

"The Book of Heroes" by Miyuki Miyabe
I'm really excited for the English translation of Miyabe's Ico novelization coming out later this year, so I'm reading this book to see what her writing style is like. So far I'm finding it very interesting

Haven't started it yet, but this week I'll need to read Doctor Faustus so I can lead a discussion on it. I'm rather looking forward to it. I also need to read Utopia and more books of Paradise Lost for my essay...

The Night Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton.
I haven't read a good science fiction book in so, so long. So exciting!
