January 25, 201214 yr Just finished The First Man by Albert Camus Now I'm on The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway and The Fall by Albert Camus
January 25, 201214 yr Everyone claims The Hunger Games to be the next Twilight but I honestly doubt it, the plot doesn't appeal to me... What do you think? I think the comparisons are inevitable mainly because of the whole concept of one girl choosing between two boys, but that's basically where the similarities end (and that concept isn't even that strong unlike in Twilight). The story, regardless of how improbable, is extremely intriguing. I find it more like the HP series given I sometimes feel I'm reading within a world with a whole new language. My only recommendation would be to definitely give it a go. If you aren't hooked after the first book then you don't need to go onto the second. What've you got to lose? :D
January 25, 201214 yr I've just finished The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. I don't even know how to describe it...just read it. It's amazing. :wacky:

February 5, 201214 yr does read a bunch of fanfics of different series count as proper reading? :uhoh: cause other than prepare my exams this last month i did read some fanfics recently, i hope next week i can start my reading plan which i did aimed to start this january but had to delay it for a month. Tierra Firme by Matilde Asensi El sueño del celta by Mario Vargas Llosa Un día de cólera by Arturo Pérez-Reverte Las Ratas by Miguel Delibes Crimenes triviales by Javier Balanzá (award from the course-contest i took part in last october). Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, also some Agatha Christie, HP Lovecraft, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, Oscar Wilde, mainly classics or horror-mystery novels as the course grew my interest on the subject.
February 20, 201214 yr Photography books As a keen photographer I'm reading, History of Photography by Josef Maria Eder (Amazon US / UK) offers comprehensive coverage on a collection of articles and rare photographs by pioneers in photography and contains materials for research into the history, technology and aesthetics of the medium. Its so ínteresting. I decided as I was so inspired to give everyone for their birthday this year some of my photography, I found to put the photos on canvas would be extra special and found this excellent offer for it in our area in Ireland. It just makes presents a little more sentimental.
February 20, 201214 yr Metamorphosis - Frank Kafka (not really my cup of tea...does anyone get it?) I listened to an audiobook of that story recently. I actually quite liked it, although it's perhaps a bit surreal.
February 20, 201214 yr I'm about to finish Carl Sagan's "The demon-haunted world" and I've just started "Burmese days", by George Orwell (Brazilian translations, to be more precise).
