My Physics textbook...can't wait for 2 weeks when finals are over and I can pick up a real book!
I'm thinking A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini or something Vonnegut |

I Came in Through the Bathroom Window Posted Fri 30 Nov, 2007 5:03 PM |
I'm waiting to get my grades and find out whether I have to take final exams in december or not. If I don't, I'll start reading El Lápiz del Carpintero (The Carpenter's Pencil or The Pencil of the Carpenter) by Manuel Rivas. It's about Spanish Civil War.
If I do have to take exams, I'll be reading about Social Psychology and/or Analysis of the Argentinian Society. |

Social psychology is what i wanted to study a couple of years ago when i decided to pursue my education but i opted for marketing instead as i had a business degree already.
Fascinating field ! |

Yes, it's very interesting indeed. The career I'm studying is Sociology, so it's very related. We have some good bibliography along with some terribly boring texts. I love reading Erving Goffman, Paul Willis, Pierre Bourdieu... |

Bourdieu is super famous here...do you also study Michel Foucault, Paul Ricoeur, Derrida ? |

Yes! I haven't read much from Ricoeur though. Mostly Bourdieu and Foucault (they're key authors in my career). And I've started reading Derrida just this last semester, tough reading but very interesting. |

That period ended not so well for Spanish democracy (I think a lot of you know who Franco was :S), but it's part of our lives, and I'm really surprised that you have to read that book about our history.
And talking about me, I have to read for next week some works by Poe. I think I'll enjoy them XD
