words don't seem to be the perfect way of describing me, i would rather use images, or scents, feelings...because I am composed of what I remember, and what I remember are places i've seen, people i've met, experiences i've had. nothing more and nothing less.

    The dramatic story of Jane Eyre is full of feeling, but not only. The impossible standards and ways of thinking of that time are made understandable by her clear reasoning, which not only the characters in the book admired, but I did, too. Jane Eyre is a very strong female figure, and, because of that, she is revolutionary. At that time, she choose to pursue what her mind told her over her heart and with stubborness and ambition she overcame adversities. Only when brain and heart went hand in hand did she follow their lead. Her story brings, for that time, a daring view on class, religion, English education, feminism and even love. It's a good novel, truly, although a perfect construct, impossible to fool us into believeing it, it touches one's heart and mind.

    Manon Lescaut

    . It wasn’t so bad at first, but eventually, I couldn’t relate to no one and only got more and more annoying as the main character kept being terribly, madly in love with this girl, Manon, for no reason, doing all kinds of idiotic acts “of love”.

    Hunter's Run

    I must confess I was a bit disappointed, because the first 100 pages were quite a bore. However, it became interesting after that and I read what was left in two afternoons or so. It’s a well-written story, very carnal, very descriptive, with a well-structured universe to draw on. Ramon Espejo, the main character, is a bastard who kills a man and runs in the wilderness to escape. There, he is confronted with strange forces, and, even stranger than that, with himself. That confrontation brings enough insight to lead to death, and a new life, also. It’s been a good read, after all.

    Also, I want to add that, after I’ve thought more of Hunter’s Run by Geroge R. R. Martin & Gardner Dozois & Daniel Abraham, it has got running through my mind something which I realized is common of sci-fi: the fragility of human life and the chaos in it.

    Lord Edgware Dies

    . I’ve read it in French, just to practice, and it’s been quite fun, because now French “mots” are floating through my mind and I think it’s about time I learnt it properly, so I plan on reading more in French.
