I read Six Years by Halen Coben. It was very good. There are lots of twists in the book and you wonder what is real and what isn't.
What did you read last?

The Empire of the Summer Moon. It is the life story of Quanah Parker. It was pretty inspirational. He was never defeated. You like books about historical things?

Yes. I'm Irish, but, I can't stand books about Irish history; there are more kings per page than one can keep up with.

I read The Communsit Manifesto just so I could fully interprete it unbiasedly and dissect it as an exotic stance and ideology. I wanted to fully understand as much as I could about it, as I do with many different economic systems and political ideologies.

"The Sane Society" by Erich Fromm, a few days ago. I found it inspirational.

I've almost never finishing to read any book to its end. Most time I chose paragraphs and parts of the book.
So, the last one was Pelevin "Chapaev and Emptity", A. Zinovaev "Go to Golgoth"; and Max Frish "Fomo faber".
Also, John Passmore "The Modern Philosophy", R. Hare "The Language of Moral".
Besides, S. Kleani (or Klini?) "Mathematician logic".
Surely, all the books above, except Hare's, are in Russian.

A book about hindu magic, which I have a profound sympathy for the author.

There's a difference between 'have read' and 'to read'. So, I read Gram Harman's "Weird-Realism" (ch.1), "Language, Logic, and Ontology" - a collection of papers, in particular Michael Dummett's "What is A Theory of Meaning?". Plus I've dome some of Lovecraft novels.
