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! Cea de Irina Paperno nu a fost tradusa. O am pe cea de Georges Minois, Istoria sinuciderii, urmeaza sa fie citita... cand voi avea timp. Daca te intereseaza problema suicidului la Dostoievski iti recomand N. Shneidman - Dostoevsky and Suicide, insa nici aceasta nu a fost tradusa.

    :) O sa-ti placa mult.
    de la Woolf recomand Orlando... si apoi Pasiunea (Winterson). O sa vezi usoare legaturi intre ele. Cel mai mult de la Lodge mi-a placut The British Museum is falling down. Am citit-o unde va anul trecut. Acum sint in faza cu tenta filosofica, si anume Alain de Botton, a 5a carte a lui, The Art of travel, apoi ma mai asteapta "How Proust can change your life"...

    Din pacate nu am reusit sa ajung la Gaudeamus. Am vrut sa merg duminica,dar intelesesem ca e foarte mare aglomeratie si nu m-am mai dus. Salman Rushdie a fost acolo pt o sesiune de autografe si a mai fost si la Teatrul Odeon din cate am inteles, pentru o mica sesiune de lectura,doar ca despre aceea am aflat prea tarziu, ca acolo chiar as fi vrut sa merg. Si eu am inceput la un moment dat Anna Karenina,dar am lasat-o ca nu prea aveam timp atunci sa o citesc. O sa te rog sa-mi spui c um ti s-a parut, poate ma reapuc si eu de ea. :) Eu am primit de curand Gargui a lui Andrew Davidson si chiar sunt curioasa c um e,ca am vazut ca a fost destul de apreciata de critici si am tot vazut si prin oras reclame cu ea.

    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!! :)
