    A good follow-up book to that is Arthur Nersesian's The F.uck-Up. See how many differences and similarities you can find between the two.

    Teabagging, it reminded me of that.

    L'Abbé Prevost, Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et Manon Lescaut — very good.

    Next on my list is Henry James, The Princess Casamassima,
    finishing D.H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers (so far so good to Part II), rereading James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and hopefully coming closer to understanding it this time, and George Moore, Confessions of a Young Man.

    Then back to some Armenian literature.

    "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel was a really good story, I highly recommend it.

    It took me about half an hour to find this thread with the stupid Armenian Club search function, that doesn't even work properly.

    Anyway, I'm going to start reading The Notebook today. After I finish it, I will finally read Requiem for a Dream.

    I haven't read anything by Agatha Christie but I've seen the film version of her novel Murder on the Orient Express. It was okay.

    Project Gutenberg is good too.

    Books online.

    These are books available online which you can access.

    Ethics of Liberty by Murray N. Rothbard might be a bit too heavy but here it is.

    Also available is Murray N. Rothbard's Man, Economy and the State which is recommended reading for a grounding in free market economic principles and Austrian thought.

    Here is the book from Alfred Korzybski, the man who developed the general theory of semantics, called Science and Sanity.

    Do you want to know how Wall Street bankers financed the Bolshevik revolution? Well, let Antony C. Sutton be your guide. The book Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution is here. It gets better though. Do you like to know how these same Wall Street bankers financed Hitler? You need to read Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler

    It took me two weeks to finish. I had decided to take my time with this though, so that's why. Two weeks is a lot though.

    "Angels & Demons" - by Dan Brown - 10/10

    When I first started "The Da Vinci Code", my English teacher told me I should read "Angels & Demons" also. I always kept that in the back of my mind. When I finished "The Da Vinci Code", I bought "Angels & Demons" because I liked Dan Brown's work. I just finished it today. It was awesome. I didn't think it'd come close to "The Da Vinci Code", even though everyone I know said "Angels & Demons" was better. I felt more of a connection with "The Da Vinci Code", maybe because I knew about the Louvre, and I was interesting in the paintings they talked about. But after a while, I felt a close connection with "Angels & Demons" as well. Both great books. Can't wait for the next book by Dan Brown.
