Have a look at the website!
ps. Harry not “buco” ;-) the pronunciation is like u (Hule).

Not as good in as much as you knew the premise for the book even if not the plot. Have ordered the Tenth Chamber because now I have to finish it, don’t I?
Definitely read Under the dome if you have it. Very nice idea.
Jo Nesbo – no. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Norwegian author. Maybe I should try?

Have you ever read Jo Nesbo (Harry Hole series)?
They’re all out in English, if I’m not wrong. He is a Norwegian writer: http://jonesbo.com

Thanks for the C. Dickens’ book! :-) much appreciated.
I definitely want to read Library of the Dead. A friend of mine loved it.

I am now re-reading (as you know) Tom Wolf and I’ve just bought for 0,79 eu. The great Gatsby (ebook).

This summer I read a GREAT book which is not out in English yet. It will be out next year: La verità sul caso Harry Quebert by J. Dicker. A must read. Then I turned to other books but Dicker’s was much better.
