P.G. Wodehouse "Right Ho, Jeeves"

P.G. Wodehouse my favourite humour writer. For those who like humour and especially so called British humour I highly recommend to read his books and this one “Right Ho, Jeeves” as well. As usual the main characters are Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves.

The story begins when Bertie’s friend Gussie Fink-Nottle abandons his beloved newts to go courting as Mephistopheles. Bertie Wooster is more than a bit nonplussed. But even the Devil can rely on Jeeves. After that follows a number of comic situations.

L. Frank Baum "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"

If you are a fairy-tale fan then it is very much recommended to you to read a book by L. Frank Baum The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This bewitching tale of Dorothy’s adventures in the magical Land of Oz is one of the best loved of modern fairy-tales among adults and children alike.

The story begins when a cyclone suddenly propels Dorothy and her dog Toto skywards and brings them in an unknown land. Dorothy hailed as a powerful sorceress by little Munchkins, but her one desire is to return to Kansas, where beloved Aunt Em and Uncle Henry await her. Dorothy’s  quest to seek the ’Great Wizard Oz’ – the only one who can help her – leads her on a perilous journey along the Yellow Brick Road towards the glittering City of Emeralds. On the way she encounters the brainless Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman in search of a heart and the Cowardly Lion, who all join her. At last they reach the castle of Oz – yet in this strange land nothing is ever as it seems …  Enjoy this book!

Herman Melville "Typee"

Recently finished the book by Herman Melville Typee. It was his first book but nevertheless the one that won him his greatest lifetime fame. Typee is no Moby-Dick but it is a classic and not just a children’s classic. It is also an adventure. One reads Typee and life suddenly shows a new vista … adventure is possible: Eden is real!

The book is a narrative of a four-month sojourn among primitive South Sea Islanders. In it Melville combines his own extraordinary personal experiences with later intensive research to produce a vivid and imaginative work. The Polynesian tribal life is shown very vividly in its exotic fascination.
So if you want to share this experience, read Typee!

Christie Golden "Marooned"

Do you like science-fiction? Do you like the books of the Star Trek series? If you do then I recommend to read a book by Christie Golden called Marooned. It is one of the stories of the starship Voyager with the new generation crew.

The story begins when an alien pirate abducts Kes and the U.S.S. Voyager takes off in hot pursuit, but the first rescue mission fails disastrously; an ion storm forces the shuttle to crash on an unknown world. Now Captain Janeway and her Away Team must embark on a hazardous trek through a hostile environment in search of a way off the planet, while Voyager, commanded by Chakotay, confronts an enemy fleet in the depths of space.

Agatha Christie "Poirot Investigates"

Dear friends, today I want to present a book by Agatha Christie, the world’s best known mystery writer and truly one and only Queen of Crime. The name of the book is Poirot Investigates. Sure you know the main character. It is the colorful Belgian detective with the waxed mustache and the egg-shaped head. He uses his “little gray cells” to solve fourteen of his most baffling cases, ranging from country house murders to an adventure in an Egyptian tomb. Indulge yourselves with the ageless and timeless mysteries from the master of the genre.

Haruki Murakami "Dance Dance Dance"

Haruki Murakami is a famous name in the world of modern literature. A remarkable writer with the personal style and a personal way of making poetry while writing a prose. Those who are acquainted with his works will find Dance Dance Dance very much of an interest and those who never read will have a chance to open the new Universe of his literary works.  And now a few words about book itself.

High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic thirteen-year-old drop-out with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem. Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami’s idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance. It is an assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car.
Welcome to the mystery of reading!
