Soon I'll be starting The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

Rereading The Stranger by Camus. And probably Sisyphus too if I can find it again or the library has a copy.
I'm literally just about to read The Stranger. )does the fact that you're rereading it means it's good?
i am a biased, shamless camus fanboy and the myth of sisyphus + the stranger are the two books that single handedly made me so.
The stranger is an interesting narrative that encapsulates a lot of existential concepts camus is known for which is elaborated on in the other book i mentioned. once you start and when i'm sober i'd love to talk more about it!
The Irresistible Novel by Jeff Gerke. Meh. It's average for a book on writing. I wouldn't recommend it.
This thesis examines the concurrent changes in Turkish identity and in the Turkish language from the early developments in the period of the modernizing Tanzimat reforms to the Anatolian Turkish nationalism and the alphabet and language reform of the Republican era. It looks specifically at how language issues played a large role in the development of Turkish national identity towards the end of the Ottoman period, and also examines the development of Ottomanism and Islamism. Finally it looks at how the desire to promote secular Turkish nationalism in place of the old Ottoman-Islamic identity was the driving force behind the Kemalist script and language reforms and discusses some of the consequences of these planned changes to the Turkish language and to the basis of Turkish identity.
