Hi Gaby,

I always am glad for topics of literature.

Well, I am reading a shortstory-combilation of a hungarian writer, but I had last read before a great book of Gerald Durrel.
I enjoy his books very much, in part because he had a fantasticly good sense of humour,
in part because you can learn alot about anymals of the world from him.

I can offer his books for Fospo, it is a serious suggestion, not an offence.
I will check the correct english tittle,, but this book is about an expedition of his and his team in Argentina, where he collected unique anymals for his zoo, to save them from final beeing ruined.

Last book I've read...hmm...I think it's "Ion" by Liviu Rebreanu,a Romanian writer.I read it because I need it at school,not out of pleasure.
Last book I read out of pleasure was "Shogun" by James Clavell.It's the best book I ever read,it's on the first place in the top of my favorite books.Even if it's very long,I would read it for the second time if I would have time.

Great topic, Gaby!
Actually it was "Public and political communication" but it's academic book Besides last INTERESTING book I've read was "Eureka Street" by Robert Mc Liam Wilson. Very good one; about Northern Ireland and Belfast citizens.

'Night Wars' by Graham Masterton.

Gaby, I love topics about literature!

Recently I read "Kordian" by Juliusz SÅ‚owacki. It's obligatory reading on polish language. This romantic drama to tell about november revolt. Main character is eponymous Kordian.
Undoubtedly it is a masterpiece greatly important for Polish people, but I don't to be very fond of this book. SÅ‚owacki was opponent for Mickiewicz( my favourite poet).

Now, I'm reading " Nie boska komedia" by Zygmunt Krasicki and in the school I'm learning "Dziady" (ah, Mickiewicz...)

Great topic, Gaby!I had my hallway painted the other day and had to clear off the bookshelf to move it, and when I was putting the books back I came across a bunch of Agatha Christie books that I haven't read in years and years. So I decided the time was right to read them again. Right now I'm reading "A Murder is Announced." Gabi, am I right in thinking that you like Agatha Christie's books?

Oh my God, you really like him?! Respect, I always hated Mickiewicz, maybe despite "Pan Tadeusz". But I like SÅ‚owacki moreKordian" is kind of parody of "Dziady III", don't you think?

[Ozzie]

I praise Julian Tuwim and Tadeusz Miciński and I don't like them both (Słowacki and Mickiewicz) but some of Mickiewicz's poems are really great

[Linaya Altair]

Really, really, Kasia. He had great, flowery and light style. I would ever write as Mickiewicz...master.

Yes, Kordian is a parody wonderful masterpiece "Dziady".
I read "Pan Tadeusz" twice. This national epic is good.

I 'm feeling strange writing about the best polish poet in english language.

EDIT

Witch poems, Ozzie?
Yesterday I wrote homework about "Romantycznośc".

[Gaby]

Well,I don't know any polish poet,but in my country,there's a excellent poet called Carlos Drummond de Andrade.Him literature did with what our way of think changed/i

[Linaya Altair]

Of course I must recommend Adam Mickiewicz. His the best literary work is "Oda do młodości"- the most beautiful lyric, that I ever read. It's discourse beetween romantics and empiristes, very loftly.

I remember me,I saw a literary work him in a library in my city in polish,there were 5 years ago/i

[Lady Hering]

Tuwim had excelent poems, I agree
Gombrowicz rulez among all school reading material, I also liked Herling-Grudziński, Borowski...
Mickiewicz's style is hard, like al romantics... But anyway I prefer him to all positivistic Żeromski's, Sienkiewicz's stuff, argh....

I read "Crazy ***" by HenrY Miller. Although he writes in 3rd person, we know that in fact he is writing about himself and his ex-wife June.
