Book List 2008

Aside from several technical books, I am already overloaded with a to re/read book list for 2008 (a mixture of non/fictions):

• The Pillars of the Earth -- loved it! finished on the eve of New Year's Day 2008, Yeah! =)
• World with End -- not as good as the Pillars, still very intriguing. finished 1/22/2008
  
• Tales of the Alhambra
• The Alchemist -- (Jan 8, 2008) finished, didn't like it that much.
  
• The Age of Innocence
• Love in the Time of Cholera
  
• Great Expectations
  
• 围城 Fortress Besieged -- Chinese and English translation online
• The elephant vanishes
• The World is Flat
• The Tipping Point
• One hundred years of Solitude
• Catch 22
• 《滚滚红尘》剧本 ==> one of my fav. Chinese movies and original book: 乱世之恋 --　台湾女作家三毛的最后一部作品《滚滚红尘》描写了一对世间男女在战乱年代里悲欢离合、欲仙欲死的爱情，这部角逐金马奖的电影剧本即是以女作家张爱玲和汪伪政府法制局长胡兰成的爱情故事为蓝本创作的。时光虽已流逝半个多世纪，张胡之恋仍在红尘里亦真亦幻地流传着，成为令人扼腕叹息的人间佳话。
  　　张爱玲一生追求一种脱离现实的纯粹爱情——不问缘由，不问经历，跨越了时间和空间，超越了阶级和信仰。正是因为如此，出身于大家闺秀的一代才女张爱玲，才有了和汉奸文人胡兰成的乱世恋情。
  　　张爱玲的作品，缠绵悱侧，凄艳哀绝，令人惊叹不已；张爱玲的身世，千回百折，跌宕起伏，更令人魂魄颤栗、感伤不已。
• Trust -- after the NUMMI tour, heard about this book by Francis Fukuyama, will check it out.
  

And I will continue to add onto this list after I have finished off or found other immediate book interests.

Happy New Year 2008 to everyone! =)
