Hi to everyone!

I've asked this in another topic, but I probably have a bigger chance to get an answer if I post it in more places.

Does anyone know of a good book about medieval Lithuania? And if you know of one, do I have a chance of getting it from somewhere. I live in Hungary.

By the way, reading Men at arms from Terry Pratchett. Funnyyyy.

I'm reading "Le Morte D'Arthur" for school. It's several books telling the tale of King Arthur condensed into one, so it's a pretty thick book. It's pretty good, and I love the language of the book.

Isn't the same cover of the book I'm reading, but here's a cover:

Long ago I enjoyed very much a castle-siege book in fantasy envir. :

David Gemmel: Legend

Not high literature, but inspires some heavy-load of TW gaming...

I'm reading a combination of three books: Once upon a country by Sari Nusseibeh, A History of the Modern Middle East by William L. Cleveland, and A History of Islamic Societies by Ira M. Lapidus....Yeah, I'm a Middle Eastern Studies major....

That's a great series. Before you know it, you'll fly thru the whole thing because you won't be able to put the books down.

Currently reading a little mindless action novel....
The 6 Sacred Stones by Matthew Reilly.

Currently enjoying Charles Oman's monumental 7-Vol. work, A History of the Peninsular War. The fiercely fought battles in Spain, Portugal, and the south of France were some of the most crucial and compelling conflicts in the Napoleonic Wars. Though Oman is not a great stylist in the league of Shelby Foote or William Prescott, it's the amount of detail included in his masterpiece that make the volumes essential.

I'm currently reading (read: going to start reading in 30 sec) Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

I am just about to start "Master and Commander" myself.

Edit: Someone mentioned "Nostromo" That book has been an unmitigated disaster for me. I have never finished it. First time I tried to read it my grandfather's cancer came back and he died. Second time I tried to read it there was a riot in Guatemala City and we had to evacuate the city. Third time I tried to read it was again in Guatemala and a friend of the family who was with us had a stroke and my Uncle and Grandma went to the hospital with him. Needless to say each time I got so wrapped up in the disasters that I could never get into the book. Someday I might finish that damn book but I am afraid to pick it up again.

The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul.

Wow, some very nice books some people are reading here. Crime and Punishment is a favorite of mine. Le Morte d'Arthur is also pretty darn good, but somewhat disjointed.

I just graduated, so I have more free time. I'm reading "The Exile Kiss" By George Alec Effinger. It's the third book in one of the best written science fiction books I've read. It's essentially a grown up version of cyberpunk set in the middle east. Quite unique, very well written.
