Must read books

I’ve decided to add a new feature to this blog. You will find it on the right side of the page, just under my profile. 

This will be a collection, or should I say a list, of my 'must read' books. On this list I will be putting books that I’ve had read, and are - in my opinion - the books that anyone, no, EVERYone should have read. You will meet all sorts of genres. Fantasy, crime, horror, biography, history, classic novels, short stories, fairytales, books on gardening, etc …

But I have to warn you, to not be surprised, if there will only be one or maybe two books per year. To get on this list, these books will have to be really special to me.

Here are some, that I have come across so far:

Al Araf – Vladimir Bartol

A Song of Ice and Fire (complete collection of the series) – George R. R. Martin

Jonatan Livingston Seagull – Richard Bach

Kafka on the Shore (Umibe no Kafuka) – Haruki Hurakami

Knjiga o bambusu (not yet in English) – Vladislav Bajac

The Celestine Prophecy – James Redfield

The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) – Antonie de Saint-Exupéry

The men Who Planted Trees (L’homme qui plantait des arbers) – Jean Giono

The first is the title in English and next (between the parentheses) the original title - before the translation was done, of course. If there isn’t a translation to English, there is just the original title written. After the titles comes the author. For now they stand in alphabetical order, but later on the new books will be added on the top of the list.

So, if you get to come across any of these books, you should try (finding and) reading them!

I promise, you won’t regret it!

Oh, yeah, the idea for this 'book features' came from my neighbors blog, from Diana.

So, read you next time!

The Forest growing in my bedroom

After the striking wisterias, which are now thriving nicely, some other plants decided to wake up as well.

This is one of the wisterias that grew the most until now. Although now their growth has slow down, I will probably transplant them in spring in to bigger pots.   

My two-year-old Ginkgos have decided that they will also be waking up earlier this year.

I used to have had them in a dark and cold room, but still they have started to emerge. At first they were yellow, because there was no sun, and I had to act quickly, so that the new shoots wouldn’t become coloristic and stretched. So, the only place I could put them at was in my bedroom, right next to balcony window. And now their growth is great, I will just have to turn them around now and then, so they could grow up straight.   

So, now I have a forest growing in my bedroom.

    

Thank god that the small ones are still sleeping. But I wonder for how long. I hope this weather will come to it's senses soon, so that I can put my plants out. 

So, read you next time!
