Marto's book list.

OK, so as usual there is nothing much to write about, so I have decided to list what books I've recently read, in case anyone is interested or curious. Also, I've listed a couple of songs that I currently deem worthy of listening to ad nauseum on my mp3 player.

Books:

The Hotel New Hampshire - John Irving. Interesting and well written, about the life and experiences of an American family growing up in New Hampshire and Austria; set during and after World War II.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling. I really liked this book, in fact I had trouble putting it down. If only a certain Chuck Norris website hadn't inadvertently ruined the mystery behind the death of a major character. Damn Chuck Norris.
(P.S. If I mysteriously disappear, don't come looking...Chuck took offense to the above line and roundhouse kicked me to the face. He then ate my liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.)

Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan and Bin Laden - Steve Coll. Highly informative and really well researched; I'm definitely gaining a greater perspective on past and present events in the region. Fascinating.

Music:

Wake Up - The Arcade Fire
Sitting, Waiting Wishing - Jack Johnson
Shadow on the Sun - The Civilian Project (Audioslave)
Music at Work - The Tragically Hip
Running to Stand Still (Live Dublin) - U2
Sunrise - Norah Jones
Jesus Walks - Kanye West
Gold Digger - Kanye West (ft. Jamie Foxx)
Almost Martyrs (from the Life of David Gale soundtrack) - Jake Parker...this is the music featured in the Munich trailer. I obsessed about it until I found the piece of music.

OK peeps, that's what I'm doing these days. Any music recommendations? I'm all ears :)
