The result of trimming borrowing books

I have a bad and compulsive habit of borrowing new books as many as possible lol.

So trimmed it to a minimum; can't read all those as once, anyway;

Literature

Ordered plenty of Stefan Zweig so really should finish Lawarence and Leroux in a hurry;

Lady Chatterley's lover ; A propos of "Lady Chatterley's lover" /
by Lawrence, D. H. (David Herbert), 1885-1930
3900903990834405/17/201406/24/20141
The phantom of the opera /
by Leroux, Gaston, 1868-1927

'Salem's Lot /
by King, Stephen, 1947-
39009035434022

Yeah it's summer so..spend it with Zweig & King? Lol.  Sounds a bit morbid..haha

History



The birth of the West : Rome, Germany, France, and the creation of Europe in the tenth century /
by Collins, Paul, 1940-

It's written by a Catholic, not a professional historian, maybe that's the reason I borrowed this; wanted to see 'his' version.

View Item Details
Piero's light : in search of Piero della Francesca : a Renaissance painter and the revolution in art, science, and religion / Larry Witham.  *
by Witham, Larry, 1952-
New York : Pegasus Books, 2014.

Really should finish this fast, almost done, like 40 pages left. Quite instructive too, didn't know a lot about him. Useful introduction to Renaissance as well, heartily recommend it.

The embrace of unreason : France, 1914-1940 /
by Brown, Frederick, 1934-

I know, already read about this topic, haven't finished Shirer either, but still. It's relatively short too, less than 300 pages.

Genesis : Truman, American Jews, and the origins of the Arab/Israeli conflict /
by Judis, John B.


Movies

Interesting movies just keep popping up; have to praise my library system. Watching one movie per day..

Artist and the model El artista y la modelo /
by Trueba, Fernando

Don't you love European Cinema, not as prudish as USA in portraying female nude lol.

Hannah Arendt
by Hannah Arendt (Motion picture)

How I live now
by Macdonald, Kevin, 1967-

Have been a fan of Ronan after Atonement, like many others.

Prisoners
by Johnson, Broderick

Thérèse
by Miller, Claude
