I read this book while working a graveyard shift in another city a few months ago, and upon finishing I read the notes on the author and translator. This particular translator was born and raised in the same city in which I was working that night. It was pretty mind-blowing, trust me.

This wait sucks already.

i was going to make a beginner's guide to books. maybe.

i liked that series. lately i've been wanting to re-read it, but I had to give the first two away

The Consolation of Philosophy is fairly uplifting, actually.

my favourite chapter of all four books

i thought it was awesome.

Eddard dies at the end.

wtf was #4?

oh shit i read this book.

couple of kids make a band. make it an R&B group because they are irish, and irish are the niggers of europe. strange guy plays trumpet and claims to have played with famous people in america but we never know if that is true, but he still inspires the others despite not knowing if he was legit. they play some gigs and are about to get a record deal but it falls through. the singer, devo, is kind of a dick and sees himself as centrepiece of the band, and the others hate him for it. they all fall apart. the end.

>2. One of the morals of this work is that taking away someone's property is worse than than killing that someone's father.
this sounds like a** r***

Greene is probably my favourite author. My personal favourite is the Heart of the Matter, closely followed by The End of the Affair. The Honorary Consul is not bad and The Comedians is considered one of his best. And don't read Brighton Rock unless you having a burning desire to complete his Catholic novels.

If you haven't read for a while (or at all), it can take a bit to get into the book. Start with something written simpler, a quick read. Don't jump into anything too dense or with weird made up words.

It takes a bit of time, and you may have to force yourself to keep reading at some points, but stick with it and you'll find that before long you'll be reading at a much greater speed and with better comprehension.

Read engaging books, something you find interesting and can't put down. Just looking at what's near me, I'd recommend some Crichton (fun reads and you might learn somthing), perhaps Hemingway or Steinbeck (if you'd like to get into the classics).

Just stick with it, really.
