Ambergris

Thank you! I've heard about those books. I'll definitely add Camus to my list then. ;) Why is it great? Isn't it too philosophical? Btw, I said classical-modern-XIX/XX century, not Antiquity. :lol: Same with Frankenstein... Is such a "common" story so I don't feel really tempted to read it. I really liked reading Dracula though. Ehh maybe I should try yours too. :)

Duffy - Delayed Devotion

Duffy - Serious

I think she lives in Santiago... the Earthquake affected mainly a city called Concepción. Or so I heard on the news.

Nouvelle Vague - Making Plans For Nigel

Me siento bastante contrariado. Bah, afortunadamente hay cosas mucho más importantes en qué pensar. Seguro me irá bien. :)

Precious 7/10 The movie was somehow horrible. :\ But still a good movie.

Yes, I have read García Márquez and also Goethe but not Carlos Fuentes... what can you recomend from him? I've also read Hesse's Steppenwolf (one of the best books I've read) and have tried to read Siddhartha two times before but never advanced too much (I have to read it all sometime soon!). What have you read from him? And I know Camus is sort of existencialist... I'm quite fed up with my own existencialist shit (questions no one has answers for) so I've never read anything of him. Haha, just realised that last part sounds quite funny. :P But didn't know how to express that in other way. Gotta improve my English skills a little.

Radiohead - Go To Sleep

Protokoll - Sunken

Lykke Li - This Trumpet In My Head

Now I'm so glad to realise how everything was just so wrong from the beggining. It was just a crazy idea after all. :nice: :wacko:

:( The book you just reviewed looks awesome though. It gets on my list of books to read! :wacko: Haha, okay. I'm quite disappointed. :kidding: Thanks! Ondaatje... My friend who belongs to the literature gathering and encouraged me to try to enter told me he would vote for reading Ondaatje. I'm confused now! I was really rooting for proposing Kawabata's book. :P I think we did read Jane Eyre in English class at school... But it was a very little version of it for english students. It was long time ago but still I think I remember Bertha Mason. :lol: Maybe I should read the real book... But as it happens with "American Literature" I'm not normally too keen on the idea of reading "English, Victorian Literature". I think it might be, cause besides Shakespeare, we never had anything of that kind to read at school, where I developed my pleasure for literature. :)

I really wanted to read Catcher in the Rye. But I wasn't so keen on the idea of starting "American Literature". I think I will soon. Seems really interesting! OKAY! To Kill a Mockingbird... Is good I get it! And I've read already the other books you mentioned. :smug:

I hope I didn't screw it by saying it... it's just a song. Right? :uhoh2:

I'm seriously in love with Little Bit... :uhoh2: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upnTg2GPgTM&NR=1&feature=fvwp]YouTube- Lykke Li - Little Bit[/ame]

Ladyhawke - Manipulating Woman

:lol: I know the feeling... well sort of. I mean of just dissing everything that your ex and you liked. Btw, I'm not in halves. I am complete.

Sunken - Protokoll

That book seems interesting, actually. Reminds me a little of Tolstoi's Anna Karenina, which I'm reading atm and is also about this woman who ends up victim of her passion for a player. Btw, I thought Casanova's historical character was a Venetian man, not French? Thank you. You got my attention. Can you tell a little bit more about the topics in her works? Btw, By disturbing do you mean sexually disturbing? A friend yesterday told me he was reading "Desire" of Elfriede Jelinek (Nobel Prize 2004), and he told me a little about the story which was really disturbing in that way actually. :inquisitive: But I actually feel tempted to add it to my list of "books to read" Hahah. Taken from wikipedia: the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage and compassion, and gender roles in the American Deep South. It actually looks interesting but can you give more of a personal opinion of it? why do you actually recomend it? ---- So many good books recommendations. Thanks. :wacko:

The Horrors - Sea Within A Sea

I was actually expecting for more suggestions from my highbrow coldplaying fellows... :inquisitive:

Michael Nyman - The Departure

Yes!!! Oxytocin :heart: Btw, when I was in love, a long time ago I came up with the idea that love is just giving selflessly. That might be an strange way to describe it but that's basically how I experienced it.

Btw, so far these are the books that I have in mind... And that I am sure, I could get here. 1. Yasunari Kawabata - First Snow On Fuji (Japan) 2. Milan Kundera - Immortality (Czech Republic) 3. Manuel Puig - Kiss of the Spider Woman (Argentina) 4. Boris Pasternak - Doctor Zhivago (Russia) 5. Philip Michael Ondaatje - The English Patient (Sri Lanka-Canada) Have you people read any of these books? which would you choose? I put Kawabata first because I heard his writtings are simply splendid.
