...and yet it happens every now and then. yesterday in the morning i bought myself "bridget jones's diarys" because i wasn't sure if i would listen to music and read or watch a movie on my laptop while being on the train for a business trip. ( i ended up watching "true romance" on the way to and "o brother where are thou" on the way back from the meeting). anyways, so i go to bed at about 9 pm (i was really tired, normally i go to bed around midnight) and start to read the book (i normally read at least 15 minutes at night no matter how tired i am). and i can't fucking stop. i liked it from the first line and so i ended up with reading those damn 308 pages until about 2 am. it's not only that i'm now extremly tired because i slept only 5 hours, but i'm also pretty pissed because i thought i would read perhaps a week, at least 2 or 3 days on that book. and now i don't have anything at home which i haven't read like 10 times or read within the last 3 weeks...and it's pretty hard to get good books in it's english originals here in austria.....so basically, this is some sort of "recommend me a book" thread so i can go on a hunt for more stuff....

There's already a book thread halfway down the first page, but yeah, I'll say it again, Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams. It's wonderful.
