You guys have been doing A LOT of reading
I'm (still) reading Mémoires d'Hadrien by Marguerite Yourcenar and it is superb. I believe it's one of the most beautiful writings I've ever read.
The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux: he's got this arrogant attitude but I think it's part of the charm.
And I'll jump into a new fantasy series/book now. Any recommendation? It's been a while since... oh I forgot the last time I read good fantasy
