I have joust read Homers Iliaden Greek gods, action and lot of bloody details. It was fun reading it again. Read it when I was 12-13 years old.
I have read many books by a Danish writer Leif Davidsen. He writs about topics that have been in the media and give it a twist that makes the reader rethink his/hers media influenced opinion on the topic.
I read lot of history books and biography (hmm is that the right word)
To understand the present, we have to know our history.

That is why you will like My Suggestions of Robert Graves he does the same in his Books."He makes our History Interesting".....Tells it like a Good Story (almost Fiction like) but is in Fact, all True. Hope You are Getting better.
Cheers

Hope you are in a better condition, Nalia!

If you haven't already read the books of Hanne-Vibeke Holst (danish journalist and writer), then I can strongly recommend you to do so....
She writes very well, express herself formidable and have a wonderful sence of humour !

I can highly recommend Dan Brown. His books is hard to but away, ones you have started reading

I can see Frederiks "Phoenix" is on your concert-program the 4th of may... - would have been nice to go and hear but, alas, I'm in an orchestra-rehearsal that evening... darn it... - no chance of taking it on the program the 6th also?

Reading for pleasure is something i have not been able to do in a long while since i began my English degree course.
At the moment I'm reading The Italian by Ann Radcliffe (doing a gothis module this semester)It's very well written and the realism and romance mix, with a touch of the supernatural is quite refreshing.
I'm also reading the drama, The Doll House by Ibsen, very good, i can't put it down.

I'm just reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown at the moment, which I think is his best based on the others by him I've read.
