maiu Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I was really enjoying that book but eventually had to give up because my head couldn't cope any more! There are about 4 or 5 characters from the same family with the same names and I couldn't work out who was who There are family trees on the net in case you get lost (which I did). 2nd chapter and there are already 4 people called Jose Arcadio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekita Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 ^ yeah i had to look at those but i found i could picture the people in my head they each acted different etc. This was also the same for a lot of Russian Novels i've read... the names are really tricky and i get confused!!! especially Leo Tolstoy novels. They're really long too! *spoiler************** War and Peace is waiting for me to finish reading it but since my fav character Prince Andrew died i just decided yep that's the end of the novel. ************************** hehe its an honour Nadia, then yep i definitly don't know you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kekita Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The Alchemist *Paolo Coehlo (read the preface) The BBC world service had a great interview with him, very insightful it might still be up on the podcast on their website. Finished reading North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, highly enjoyable and great to see the differences between the tv series and the book. Trying to finish War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy ( started it last year lol) and re- reading the Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
