Just got this at Borders just now:

The Battle for Spain by Antony Beevor.

This fella writes excellent war history books. I strongly recommend two of his previous books as well: Stalingrad, and Berlin.

Just read and finish a book in one sitting. (ie, within 8 hours.)

Escape from Paradise

(From Third World to First)

by John & May CHu Harding

Sis say the book was banned in Singapore, because of some of its references to president Benjamin Sheares & some minister & his lawyer wife.....

Rather grim and a bit funny. Its telling a story about how singapore abuses the females, with laws and rules that support the men. A total different story then what the boys on forums were yapping about on how sg law favours females in divorce cases.

Especially when the husband n the story is a rich bastard.

I kinda agree. In Singapore, if you got the money, you can say anything and do anything.

Dont.....I wont be sg for a while.

I hand u my elizabeth moon collection can? They are too new to donate to the library. And I got no place to stay in sg. Lugging them in the luggage is a hassle.

And the postal service and I dunno what media authority will maybe make me vet the books.

So I carry in my luggage to u can?

At this moment, my bed now is stewn with books. from comics, magazines to UMD movies for watching on PSP.

I forgot to report here that on Friday, I completed reading Tony Parson's "My Favourite Wife". It is a really enjoyable novel set in Shanghai. It touches on an affair that developed between a British Expat and a China girl when his wife decided to bring their daughter with her back to London, leaving him all alone in Shanghai. Parson dealt with the issue of love, marriage, and family really well. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

ShrodingersCat SG

Ho!! Can email me good ones??

I read a lot of ebooks mostly scifi and detective novels set in 1920s....

Can send u some if u like too

Just finished reading on ebook: the non annotated version of:

Interesting series of 'detective' stories where a priest usuallly solves the case due to his understanding of human nature :D

Its written in 1911 but I don't feel that it is dated much at all.
