Mad, how crazy is this! I read "Si par une nuit d'hiver un voyager" in a class at the Sorbonne the year we were in Paris together! It was one of two books that we studied in class; the other book was "Les Faux-Monnayeurs" by Gide (the book I wrote my thesis on). If you liked Calvino, you HAVE to read that one. :)

Jen I've just read a book called 'If on a winter's night a traveller' by an Italian author called Italo Calvino.

It was one of those books that are so insightful and original and intriguing that you're sitting reading it on the tube with a dazed grin plastered to your face in absolute awe of the genius of the writing. Completely recommend it.

I think you should read "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" by Thornton Wilder ... I read it my freshman year of high school, and it really struck me (esp if i can still remember something about it today, given my terrible memory!). It's about coincidence vs destiny vs fate, and i'd love to hear what you think about it !

Not sure exactly what your reading style is (or if you have one!) but you should try David Lodge's book Deaf Sentence and if you've never read any of his stuff before his book 'Thinks' would probably appeal to your academic literary / computer IT "geek" personalities. Have a good weekend, Ciara

I just want to say that I like these kinds of posts. And I also want to leave work early and go read.
