I’m sometimes wander what books other people read. I do love novels and it’s hard for me to find new books to read. There is just too much in bookstores and most of them are crap. Anyone knows any good recommendations? In book stores I can wander for hours and don’t find anything. Lately I’m looking over amazon.com and then look up books in stores.

Last year I went to few book meetups, however people talk more about general things than books. So I got discouraged.

The day before yesterday I finished Terry Pratchett’s “Hogfather” (it took about 6h flying there and back to Latvia). Nice book, but it didn’t become one of my favorites. Not enough love in book, huh? But I do enjoy fantasy books as well. “The Mind Parasites” from Colin Wilson are one of my favorites in this genre.

When I read it doesn’t matter if it’s English or Latvian because when you start, you just can’t stop…

So here is my top list (they are all love stories):

- The Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

- The Ladies’ Paradise by Emil Zola

- Chalikushu by Reshat Nuri Guntekin

- The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery

- Ralph’s Party by Lisa Jewell

I’m actually a bit unhappy that I don’t have much books in Ireland. My mother has a big library of books and I read them every time I visit her. She never ever throws books out so some of them are unique with ideas of Soviet Union and communism. Those can’t be found in libraries any more.

Ok, I’m off – searching for new book to read again…
