Recent additions to my book collection ( these past 2 months )

Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose
I love the TV series.. It’s about the men of Easy Company, a crack rifle company in the US Army. From the rigorous training in Georgia to the dangerous parachute landings on D-Day and their triumphant capture of Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ in Berchtesgarden. I don’t know why I dig World War II stories..

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
It’s actually a science book, but according to reviews Bryson makes the study of science appear very friendly and every kind of person would find this book enjoyable and stimulating. It is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, revealing the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

Brick Lane by Monica Ali
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2003

The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler
It’s a story about a couple in the heat of World War II. (mm.. another world war II theme)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
It’s an old book, being republished for couple of times. It is a story of irreconcilable love and infidelities in which Milan Kundera addresses himself to the nature of twentieth-century ‘Being’, offering a wide range of brilliant and amusing philosophical speculations.

Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding
From the creator of Bridget Jones, comes a story about the fearless, dazzling , independent beauty-journalist turned master-spy named Olivia Joules

Lord of The Flies by William Golding
A classic that considered as one of the most disturbing and celebrated novels of modern times.

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
After reading The Da Vinci Code, it’s hard not to be intrigued to put Dan Brown’s previous novel on my reading list. So, Robert Langdon.. we’ll meet again.
