Thanks for recommendations
). Usually, when I came to library, I sneak around it for an hour trying to decide what to take...
I've just finished reading (for the fourth time) Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I love Hugo.
I like classics in generally. Have you been reading Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Camus, Proust, Sartreand what is your opinion about their books?
And concerning poetry...Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire...? So many of them are great
My country has a great poetists, but it would be hard to translate them in English
I like sf novels too, Frank Herbert with Dune novels is just perfect.., Isaac Asimov with Foundation and Empire
Most of all I love J.R.R. Tolkien with his famous trilogy ''The lord of the rings'', but besides that he has written ''Silmarillion''- the book about the history of MiddleEarth, and few more books that are great as well. I truly recommend it to all that haven't read it.
And Erich Maria Remarque?
He was a German writer and wrote about World War II, about individual in that rough period, about people in Germany that disagreed with the Nazism, about concentration camps, about German deserters in other countries Excellent books! True recommendation, especially for the books: The Arc of Triumph and Spark of life.
All the best to all,
Castor
