Hi everyone! Here is the first of my 50 books this year (starting mid June '08): Going Postal - Terry Pratchett...
Don't know if I can make it to 50, but I sure will try. And I wish all the best of books for their lists!

2. Improbable - Adam Fawer
I was warned that this book would not be as good as I expected, and it was not. But still, casual Sci-Fi fans may enjoy it.

3. Ben Demokrat Değilim - Ahmet Taner Kışlalı
A collection of short essays on politics by a famous Turkish columnist.

4. Ulysses Moore Book: Door To Time (Ulysses Moore) - Pierdomenico Baccalario
Looks like a fun children's fantasy book, but with a bad cliffhanger for a first volume.

5. The Emergence of Modern Turkey - Bernard Lewis
Pretty much a more detailed version of the standard history textbooks for Turkish people, and a great work of research.

6. Colour of Magic - Terry Pratchett
The Discworld series was a rather late discovery for me, but so far (only two books actually) I really enjoy it.

7. Death With Interruptions - José Saramago
Definitely a fan! I've loved any book I've read that was written by him, and this one was no exception. Loved the way he created the scene and how he played with it.

Hi selin1005
how did you like Blindness? I received it today having known nothing of Saramago before joining LT.
What else would you recommend?

8. Embroideries - Marjane Satrapi
It was a bitterly fun graphic novel to read.

Having already read five novels by Saramago (Blindness, Gospel According to Jesus, Death with Interruptions, The Tale of the Unknown Island, Levantado Do Chao (Umut Tarlalari in Turkish, I do not know the English title)), I can say Blindness is definitely my favourite. It was the book that introduced me to Saramago as well, and having had a look at your library, I can say that you will probably like him too. If you like reading observations on social crises and changes in human behaviour thereafter, and their relative resolution with slight ethical subtext (...wow, what a strange definiton that has become...) the next book I would recommend would be Death with Interruptions. Very similar to Blindness in style, it tells the story of death, who decides to quit one day.

9. Levantado Do Chao - Jose Saramago
10. Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders - Neil Gaiman
11.The Long-Lost Map (Ulysses Moore, Book 2) - Pierdomenico Baccalario

12. The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

13. Death: The High Cost of Living - Neil Gaiman

14. The Sandman presents Thessaly, witch for hire - Bill Willingham

15. Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
16. We - Yevgeny Zamyatin

17. Memnoch the Devil - Anne Rice

18. Deception Point - Dan Brown
Well, I wasn't going to write anything, but couldn't hold myself back. It was not a bad or boring book overall, but I think it's a cheap trick to keep the reader wondering by using cliffhangers at the end of every three-page chapter, and overuse of it really disturbs the pace.

selin, I read We this year, too. How did you like it?

19. Ruhaltı - Bahadır Baruter

20. Digital Fortress - Dan Brown
In this book, Dan Brown actually claims oxygen is released during fires. Yep.

21. Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchett

22. Twilight - Stephanie Meyer
I liked the way she recreated the vampire myth for her story. Sparkly vampires may not be the best of ideas, but at least its something new.

23. 28 Days Later: The Aftermath - Steve Niles
Will I ever tire from the 28 Days Later series? I think not.

Hi, selin1005!
I am reading my first Terry Pratchett book, Good Omens, which he wrote with Neil Gaiman. It is so funny! Are the other books funny, too? Have a great day!
