My Bookcase

Maintained by Maurice Dekker

I read the occasional book. Actually, quite a few occasional books. Some better than others, but books nonetheless which can be qualified as literature, one way or another. Or not. This page is set up to let those who have no idea what to read next perhaps be inspired to pick up one of the following books. I won't bore you with any top 10s or anything like that, just a blatant division on temporal (when I read it) and alphabetical grounds.

New in the bookcase:
• 20/Mar/01: I've finished the third part of Tolkien's masterpiece. Read it by click the previous link, or go to Bedside Reading.
• 18/Mar/01: I've almost finished the third part of Tolkien's masterpiece. Watch this space again in a week or two.
• 17/Feb/01: The second part of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rins called TheTwo Towers has its very own review in Bedside Reading and in On the Shelved T-Z.

• 19/Nov/00: Now here, the review of Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, which is less than stellar. The book, I mean.
• 18/Nov/00: Users of Netscape 6, please note that things are looking a little oddly right now. We're working on a fix.

Bedside reading tells you what I have recently read, and what's on my nighttable.

On the Shelves: N-S; from Vladimir Nabokov to Graham Swift

Academic books, which section contains books that are not so much academic, as meant as an enlightenment on a specific (scientific) subject.
