"la possibilité d'une île" by Michel Houellebecq & amazon.fr

I liked the road. It's slightly pessimistic but compelling at the same time.
I've started reading "No country for old men" and i'm enjoying it. I've seen the movie already but a friend gave me the book and says it's much better which so far i have to agree. Cormac McCarthy is a very interesting writer Laughing

Enjoy!!!

I read these two a long time ago, and I still remember how much I enjoyed them: - Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - Fantastic "futuristic" science fiction novel about society and stuff... it's a very famous book. - The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by Howard Phillips Lovecraft - an very compelling short horror/mystery novel. Great one, seriously.
