What are you currently reading?
 

In one of the major norwegian newspapers, they have a article about what people have on the "nighttable", ie what people are reading. So like once a week they call up someone and ask them.

So, what are you book/books are you reading at the moment?

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Peter Kolchin - Unfree Labour

Its a historical comparitive study between Russian serfs and South US slaves. I'm reading it for my dissertation, but its actually a pretty good book too.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Asimov's guide to the bible.
I've gone through the whole OT, and i've got up to John in the NT but have got a bit bored now.

Read two Louis de Bernieres books over the last couple of weekends which were brilliant, about to read the third one now.

I read a few books at the same time. I've been reading The Great War for Civilisation by Robert Fisk for the past six weeks or so and whatever random science fiction/historical/random novels I encounter in the meantime. Currently I'd be rating fisk at about nine out of ten so go and read it guys!

Robert Heinlein - The Moon is a harsh Mistress

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Trunk Music by Michael Connelly.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

A Portrait of the Young Man as an Artist by James Joyce. A good book, though not as good as Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake in my mind.

Anyone recommend anything in the vein of Kafka?

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

dont believe youve read it, sorry


Also, The Trial is excellent and some of his short stories are available online (in particular, I like "The Judgement")

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Heroin

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

why

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Nobody has ever finished ulysses. It's one of those a priori truths I hear.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

This is why. You can't directly link but just click the next button a few times.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Same as the other ones tbh
as much happens in this one as since the cleansing of the source.

I'm not reading anything atm, but I've just been reading the series by George R R Martin (latest book A Feast for Crows), and ofc I read Thud! a couple of months ago.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

'Foundations of Library and Information Science' in preparation for class. :0

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

I love that series, can't way for book 4 after Christmas.

Anyway I recently finished Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

Am now starting Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand, and am partway through A Game of Thrones - George Martin

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Yes. And then they downgraded him to NHH.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

:D

And Nadar i dont read those books tbh. Its worthless. Im just lookign at old exams writing in notes on my calculator :)

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

I know. I wont work more with the books, will rather solve past exams. The books are shit, Sending writes as he's the superior God on earth. Crappy written tbh. I've noticed one thing: Some of the formulas doesn't correspond with the in-book tasks/examples he wrote.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

I can't read it as it's not in any language I understand.

It's supposed to be one of the 100 greatest books ever written. :rolleyes: I hate top ten lists.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Because you want one?

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Going from Wodehouse to Rand I see.

Are you some kind of masochist?

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

He is preparing himself to work for Deloitte.

Everyone who works at the big accounting firms must read Rand, in order to boost the morale of the employees and making it possible for them to extort maxmimum capital from the working people. Big capital doesnt want morals and ethics, it will damage profits.

(wink wink midge)

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

Eh, didnt he get kicked from BI after those statements? :D

Whats the price of a case these days? Ive heard it is 2000 NOK.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

I've just started reading Casino Royale by Ian Fleming.

I haven't read any of the other James Bond books so I don't know what to expect.

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

A Peace to End All Peace by David Fromkin (good intro on the origins of the modern middle east)
The March of Folly by Barbara Tuchman
A War Like No Other by Victor Davis Hanson

Re: What are you currently reading?
 

He got fired indeed. You should also note that BI is ranked higher on world and european basis than NHH.

I don't know what a case cost. I wrote my own A's and B's in the 3 cases we've had so far, so paying 2000 NOK for a case isn't something that fits my already "stripped" budget. Maybe I should start writing cases for others aswell? You know, nice way of starting business at business-school. :D Anyways, I'd rather learn the curriculum that involves the cases than fail the exams because I couldn't answer the questions involving the cases.
