I like a good book and I try to find some time every other day to read. In my opinion, it is the perfect past-time!
I have some favourite authors (as you will see in my Favourites section, one of them is Salman Rushdie and the recently discovered Margaret Atwood) and I have a few least favourite ones (e.g. Coelho). However, I try not to... more »

    Buna! am vazut si filmul,exact dupa ce am citit cartea, dar m-a dezamagit foarte tare. Ma asteptam la mai mult dar au taiat atat de multe parti ca am impresia ca daca se uita cineva care nu citise cartea nu intelegea mare lucru. Erau unele secvente importante din carte dar trantite efectiv acolo fara sa explice de ce si te ametea total. Uite,daca vrei sa vezi un film bun facut dupa o carte iti recomand Persuasion, dupa Jane Austen, varianta BBC.Nu stiu exact anul, dar este destul de recent oricum. E superb facut.

    Hey Alina,
    Linda Howard is one of my favourite authors she has a similar writing style to sandra brown. I absolutely love her books and i think they are worth it especially when the characters become part of you and you actualy feel for them and understand what they are going through. I think they are woth a read. Give it a try you'll enjoy it!! :)

    thanks for the response on proust. i understand that volume 6 = sixth part of the series. some people say it is his best and since i don't know if i want to read 4000 pages by an author i am not familiar, i thought maybe it would whet my whistle and make me more inclined to check out other work. is there a work by proust that would help me decide whether or not to jump into such a large undertaking? thanks.

    Inca n-am citit memoriile, dar trebuie...Pana acum cel mai mult mi-a placut Dragostea in vremea holerei. Mi-a placut si Toamna patriarhului, desi eram obligata sa ma misc cu cartea prin casa pana sa termin o fraza. Te obliga sa termini de citit multe pagini, numai ca sa gasesti un punct care sa delimiteze doua fraze. Deja ajunsesem sa ma uit daca exista punct pe pagina, daca stiam ca n-am timp sa citesc prea mult :)). Oricum, chiar mi-a placut. Despre dragoste si alti demoni nu pot sa zic ca am aceeasi parere cu tine, mie nu mi-a prea placut. Si mi-am cumparat un veac, abia astept! :D Te rog sa-mi mai zici ce carti sa citesc pentru ca eu aleg mai mult dupa capul meu...:))

    Hey...de cand n-am mai vorbit...multumesc pentru recomandare, momentan citesc Amurg, desi imi dau seama modul in care ar suna frazele in engleza, ceea ce e destul de ciudat...cred ca suna mult mai bine in engleza. Am citit Marquez in ultimul timp si vreau sa continuu, pana le citesc pe toate, desi cred ca la un moment dat ma voi plictisi. Tu ce-ai mai citit? Sper sa vorbim mai des. :*

    Trebuie sa mi-l dea o prietena dupa vacanta de Pasti. Sunt foarte curioasa. Ei i-a placut mult de tot. Si Magul i-a placut mult. O sa incerc si o sa vad c um e. Am auzit ca Magul e cam grea. O sa vedem ce iese.
