What are you reading?

[bukka]

I`m not reading it yet but I recently received a copy of Yukio Mishima`s "The Temple of the Golden Pavillion" (a great find to get in english and not have to settle with spanish). I first need to finish reading a couple of other books I`ve got on rotation and I`m gonna dive straight into this. I`ve been aching to read some Mishima after watching Paul Schrader`s film.

If you like his writing style, then no doubt you're going to read a loooot more from him. You should read Forbidden colors next, Yuichi is one of the most fascinating protagonist ever created.

Has anyone read the Thomas Piketty book, Capitalism in the Twenty First Century, yet?

BSR, bukka, what's his reputation in France?

I really want to read it, but haven't gotten around to it yet

He is particularly loved at Le Figaro and Medef.

Faust: the guy is super popular

Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov is definitely worth your time.

Care to expand? I've contemplated this one for years.

aside - every tab I open seems to have Piketty mentioned.

I`ve looked into his most notable work to see where to go after I`m done with this one. I`ll check out your suggestion. Thanks, man :)

He's not as popular here as in France. Didn't read it yet but apparently, he's much more of a phenomenon overseas than here.

Translation got pushed by the NYT but the dude has been linked to De Villepin AND the socialists so he's quite present.

You're right. I was just saying that I didn't hear much about him here in Switzerland

Edit: I also read that he was linked to the socialists, and that's why I thought it was weird that you linked him to lefigaro in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1SvDqKA_UQ ??

A nice "review" by Branco Milanovic (World Bank) to be published in the Journal of Economic Literature.

Joyce's Ulysses. Have read about a third of it on two previous occasions, but school and other obligations got in the way both times. See if third time's the charm.

Thanks a lot for that.
