I just finished " The Fault in Our Stars". By John Green.
The kind of book that takes a part of you and gives you back something else.

Diana Galbadon - Outlander

Not great literature, but a very enjoyable read for fantasy fans. Time travel, swords, politics, history .... what's not to like?

Read Thunderball by Ian Fleming, in French. It took awhile! Tempted by ''Edge of Eternity'', like to know your views.

Just finished Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. Worth a read for anyone with an interest in or professional connection to the stock market.
