No. I haven't been able to even start anything for a couple of weeks. I'll have a look for it when I go to the library again.

Well my prof's list is avoiding the easy topic of World War II. I don't have to read Mein Kampf and that prof's list has All Quiet on the Western Front and I've read 'the trilogy' by Erich Maria Remarque in high school.
Well for the first semester I've got Gerhart Hauptmann, Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Georg Kaiser, Robert Walser, Joseph Roth, Bertolt Brecht, Veza Canetti. With movies being Fritz Lang's Metropolis as the stand out movie I know of.  Again the prof aviods Hitler, which is fine. I've seen Triumph of the Will about 3 times (high school and its on IFC every once in a while).

I don't know the second semester authors that well.

It certainly is a tear jerker.  That's funny that you mentioned it because I started reading it again yesterday.  I just love that book.

I read another one of his love story and it was good too.

Ooo... I haven't read the prequel yet.  Lemme know if it's good and if it helps to read it.

  At First Sight - I really enjoyed this book.  It has been a while since I read it.

  Are ya gonna read Dear John?  

  ADD:  I also heard that "True Believer" book is the prequel to At First Sight.  

  I really enjoy his books but some are so terribly sad...yet most romantic.

  Lil Me - did you watch the movie for Notebook?  

  Sorry for all the questions, he's one of my fav authors and I just absolutely love the movie and the book.
