"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

Are you a reader of war books? And if so, do you have any favourites?
I do read war books. Mostly about WWII. That too about the holocaust. I think every book that deals with the holocaust has to be read by all, however painful it might be. We have learn the history and knowledge gives us the power to prevent such atrocities. Ignoring an important part of history does not help in any way. At least not to the human kind. Here I recall only a few of what I have read:
1) Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
2 Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E Frankl
3) The Diary of Anne Frank

I like the title "The Kitchen House".
I'll have to look it up!
You can see my post HERE
I still need to get to Girl who Played with Fire. Kind of dreading it and looking forward to it at the same time!
Here is my Monday: http://thelostentwife.net/2010/04/25/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-18/
The Kitchen House sounds interesting. Have a great week!
I read the first Larsson book but haven't read the others yet. I must get them. I keep looking at Sarah's Key but haven't gotten it as yet either. You have a good week planned.
My Monday post at midnight. Enjoy your week.
I've got the Steig Larsson books on my groaning tbr pile, looking forward to your review. Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
I have been eying the book series by Stieg Larsson. I just saw the first book tonight and was very tempted to buy and start the read. I resisted, for now. I think I will get to starting this series come june.
Great week for you - I have tried reading Larsson - he just never holds me..
I will revisit his work again - because Ilove his blurbs and his concepts...
Happy reeading week..

I tried reading a Haruki Murakami book this week but I gave up. I hope that you enjyed yours!
I just signed up for s summer reading challenge and will be one of Larsson's books. This will be the first book I ahve read by him. Your other titles sound iteresting too. Have a great week.
I want to read Sarah's Key.
You had a productive reading week. Looking forward to your thoughts on Stieg's book.
I recently (or should I say finally LOL) got the 1st 2 book in Stieg Larsson's The Girl who... series & can't wait to read them.
Happy reading week :)
Your books sound wonderful! I loves Sarah's Key! While I am not a big fan of war books I am surprised how many have that topic these days and have wondered into my books!
The Kitchen House has caught my eye. Have a fantastic week!
I've been wanting to read Stieg Larsson's series...great sounding books on your list.
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Kafka on the Shore is the coolest book. I read it last year, I think, and really enjoyed it. Then again, I don't think I've read any book of Murakami's that I didn't like, especially Wind-Up Bird Chronicles. I'm glad to see another Murakami fan.
Wow! You had a great week reading and reviewing, didn't you?!
I'm with you. I read war books, and happily.
You should add Resistance by Anita Shreve to you list. It's a lovely story. I need to reread it.
I also love reading WWII books and I second Mari that Resistance by Anita Shreve is a wonderful story.
You had a wonderful week and another one lined up! I have had The Kitchen House on my wish list for some time now. Have a wonderful week reading.
the more I think about it, there are a number of books I have liked that were set during a war, but I really do not seek out that setting and would not consider myself a war book "fan".
actually. I am not really a fan of most historical novels... ;-)
