I've just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman...I can't reccomend it highly enough, it's an amazing book :-)

I would talk about it, but I don't know if anyone intends to read it/is reading it and doesn't want to know

Tintin - Vol 714 Pour Sydney (a friend brought it from Belgium)
+
Rob Krier's Urban Space (old book - old style - urban space in the extremely formal sense)
+
How Indians Used Desert Plants, by James W. Cornett (tiny book referring to Native Americans of the Southwest). It's interesting because it talks about survival in a landscape where living seems impossible.

The Plough and the Stars
Sean O'Casey
I like Mrs.Gogan, though it's early yet.

It's a good read, and some measure of cultural nuance that in the UK it was published as What's The Matter With America?

"The Complete Polysyllabic Spree" (transl in Italian) by Nick Hornby, my sister's Christmas present.
