November Book Haul

Hey guys!

This post was long overdue. November was an insane month for books. So many discounts, promotions and flea markets… I lost control of myself. Here are my purchases for this month.

• Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides

Find any edition at Book Depository

This is the Pulitzer Prize winner book from the author of The Virgin Suicides. I read only this two sentences and they got me so curious. Here they are: ‘I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974.’ .

• Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn

Find any edition at Book Depository

I already read this one and I can’t wait to find time to write about it because urgh, so many things to discuss. This book is one of the most popular from last year and this one, with a recent movie adaptation. Amy Elliott Dunne disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary and of course that her husband, Nick Dunne is the primary suspect. A modern thriller.

• In Cold Blood (pt. A Sangue Frio), by Truman Capote

Find any edition at BookDepository

Oh what a classic! I read a bit from this one a long time ago in a coffee house and I was surprised, never ever I had read anything like it. This is the first non-fiction novel ever, as the own author claims. Capote, the person with the weirds voice ever, reconstructs the murder of family in Kansas, by a series of interviews to the criminals and research. A perfect marriage between journalism and literature.

• Lolita, by Vladimir Nobokov

Find any edition at Book Depository

YAY! I have finally a copy of this one. It took me a while but here it is. One of the most amazing books ever. It tells the story of a man called Humbert Humbert, who has a strange obsession for these young girls he calls nymphets.

• The Unbearable Lightness Of Being (pt. A Insustentável Leveza do Ser), by Milan Kundera

Find any edition at Book Depository

I talked about this book in my previous post, The Reading Diversely Tag. It seems to be a very philosophical book, which is quite different to me. Hoping to get around it soon enough.

• The Call Of Cthulhu And Other Stories, by H. P. Lovecraft

Find any edition at Book Depository

I got this one at a Flea Market. It was in such good shape, and I thought it would be a good start in another master of  america horror. This book contains lots of stories from the author.

I’m going to be a bit more MIA in the next few weeks since it’s almost the end of the semester. Please pray for me since work is really so much and I don’t know how to deal with it. I promise I will fill you guys with posts and new books and reviews as soon as I can.

Bye guys!
