Books

I just had the final presentation of this week, which means that my vacation has begun officially :). Tonight I've got some friends over to celebrate, planning on going out.

These are the books that over the past 2 months have found their way to my room, and somehow stayed there, quite a pile. As I don't really have anything better to do I'll just describe them here, from bottom to top:

- A book about postwar reconstruction in the Netherlands
- A book describing the history of graphic design
- A book about Wageningen, for a current paper
- A book about the history of my university (VU Amsterdam)
- A book about using other sources than texts for historical research
- A very theoretical, complicated, but interesting book about architecture
- A book about the recent history urban and regional planning in the Netherlands
- A book about Amsterdam's western suburbs
- A philosophical book about 'human flourishing'
- A small book about urban and regional planning
- A recent book about Anton Mussert, the leader of the Dutch fascist party NSB in and before World War 2
- A Dutch translation of Coetzee's Disgrace
- It says it in the title: a political history of western Europe
- A book about people who turned in hidden jews in World War 2
- An introductionairy book about American cultural studies
- Angels in America, a well-known play by Tony Kushner
- A book about the children of NSB'ers, that is members of the fascist NSB
- A somewhat strange novel by Dutch writer P.F. Thomése
- A special edition of BMGN, or the Low Countries Historical Review
- A small book about how to do research
- An explanaroty guide about J.D. Salingers The Catcher in the Rye

- A book about the labour movement (unions) in Wageningen
- Margaret Atwood's Surfacing

That took me quite some time to be honest :)
