Well, Marduk it is so nowadays,but try to see under or between the modern manga -era thing, and dig for the strong Japanese culture&civilisation....l have a book for children (since l was one myself) with beautiful japanese stories.,pretty much the essence of their folklore...the real Japan. You can also try James Clavell's SHOGUN for your own culture ..it's good to read it at your age. Later there are heavy stuffsg.. ;D

One book is from 2005 IIRC, second from 1966. SInce I live in small town, I couldn't find better books than these I have now. Altough, Japan is a great country. It's just a modern fashion, those mangas, that's all. As for Shogun, I couldn't find it too, but saw the series on TV. Great

Try harder! In finding Shogun that is....here there's been a recent enthusiasm bout it among youngsters because it was republished at a special price:almost 2 euros per volume...

Please people, write more than just the book title and author. Tell something about the book, the plot or your opinion. Let's keep this thread interesting to all!

Read "To cast a pearl" a couple of weeks ago written by Gear and Gear. (I love there books). It is an alternative story about what the life and death of Jesus could have been like. The story is supported by real documents from archaeological finds and documents kept in the Vatican. It is not the kind of book a true Christian wants to find in a bookcase I love story's about history and religion and this combines both and the Gears being archaeologist makes it genuine.

Hmm...sounds interesting. It kind of reminds me of ,Grimpow' by Rafael Abalos; l've read it recently. They were right, it's some kind of Umberto Eco's Nomine della Rosa, but for teens. The action takes place in 1313 when Grimpow discovers the dead body of a knight in Ullpens land...the knight had a enigmatic message and a weird stone on him, and.....you guys should read the rest!

Angie Sage - Septimus Heap Fourth Book: Quest. It's a book for children,but it's so well written and l'm devouring this 4th vol. Medieval atmosphere, an ever going intrigue....so exciting! I also love the illustrations made by Mark Zug..

Ah, yes, of course. Now I'm reading everything that I can get - the last were Yuri Nikitin's "The Three from the Forest" - pure and primitive slavonic fantasy, then Vladimir Sorokin's wrtings compilation - the br00tal post-modern, and Alexander Dumas-pere's "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo" - and soon I'll go to the library again...
