Well, if you need any help with that final year's work, just give me a call. =)Portugal is a really nice country, I would be suspicious if didn't say such thing. Oporto is near from where I live, it's just marvelous. Lots of history, great hotels, and the nightlife... 5*Algarve is beautiful, but is more about beach and nightlife... On summer, Algarve is always filled with British. Have you never heard of it?!!
Death with Interruptions is great. It's a really challenging book, you'll see. But it's worth it. Do you actually read books in portuguese or in english?!!Reading in a foreign language is hardcore, I am the one who's jealous! :)C.
Well, there are two authors I can recommend you. José Saramago and José Rodrigues dos Santos. The first one is my favourite author, there's this book, Death With Interruptions (http://www.shelfari.com/books/3984832/Death-with-Interruptions) that is, without any doubt, the best book I have ever read. Give it a try. It's a little ambitious because he writes in a very peculiar way. My other suggestion is José Rodrigues dos Santos that is pretty much, the portuguese Dan Brown. I've read a few, O Sétimo Selo(http://www.shelfari.com/books/4238880/O-S%C3%A9timo-Selo) is one of the best.C.
Dom Casmurro ?!!! Ahahah.It actually didn't make any sense at all... Which book are you talking about ?!!C.
What can I say things have been crazy at work but I'll survive, I guess I'm stronger than I like to think. Been trying to learn the french accent and to to read in french, but still I've a long way 'till people can start calling me "frenchy". I'm already thinking about learning german next. Well, like I said I'd love to help you, but I'm no expert in what you are looking for. So I've talked to a girl friend of mine, she majored history in college, and she agreed in passing her email to you so you can ask her whatever you may need. She would be glad to help. She sent me an email earlier with some content you might think interesting. I'll send that you! Gotta go lunch. Till next time. Hope things are super with you.
I'm glad to hear you're ok. Sounds like you've been busy in the meantime... Wish I could tag along. I'm sorry I didn't read His Dark Matirials sooner, I just loved... I'm not ashamed to say that I only got to know this series because of the movie. Even though that sucked big time, it made me want to know more about it. About helping you with your university work you can just ask it away. It would be a pleasure to help, besides I got a friend who majored in History so I can ask her as well. You wrote you'd be away so will be in touch. You know where to reach me... Have fun!
It's been a long time. I don't know if you went to Mexico like you say you would, if you did, well... how was it? Anyway, I'm writing 'cause I've been reading some crazy stuff that's being on all over England. I thought I'd check to see if you were all right.
im saying hi to random people so: hi!
Hey Chaz, long time no speak! How are things going for you? It's weird that the group closed down (huntress told me, I was sitting exams). Hope all is well, take care!
*i think
yea..but it wouldn't be the same I don't think.
Thanks for telling me who deleted the groupthe guy ended up leaveing me a note on my page , i just don't understand why he did it.Anyway hope your doing well .
well I see that leala has already asked what I was going to ask....kind of depressing really, I mean we've been in that group for 2 years!
Ah, well it had a good run. I've been doing good! Finally getting into college, wanting to see the world ^_^
Wow, it's been a while. Well, I'm here to say hello and to see how things have been with my fellow reader :D. I was also wondering if you had any idea what might have happened to the "No Intelligence Allowed" group?
Hey Charlie, how you've been? I'm really happy about my french lessons, I've started them last month and I am loving them. Right now there are so many books I'd like to read and so many of them is more like a second reading (even seventh time) that I think I'll put Nietzsche on hold, I'm sorry, but I haven't been out for while. No movies, no restaurants, no rest on carnaval holliday (but that's ok i don't like carnaval)... I'm trying to save some money so that maybe in a near future I can buy my own place to live. Big plans and lots of books to fill in my time and my head. So not so many sad thoughts... for now. My mother is trying to get me to date, but I think it's fate that I'll just be single and raise dogs for personal happiness. But enough of me. Tell about me about you? Anything you'd like to share? I hope you're doing great 'cause last time you seemed a bit down...
Oh I'm sorry to hear you've joined the depression club. What can I say, "Welcome". I hope you're doing fine I really do. I have a lot of bad days, that's why I read a lot so I can focus on stuff other than my own life. I'm glad you'll be taking a trip. I wish I could meet you there in Mexico, I've been talking about taking a gastronomic trip to places where there food is good.Well, about french, it has always been a secund in my list of languages to learn, now it's the chance, even though from what I've heard I'll only be able to used in France, Swiss, Canada and a lot of African countries I didn't even know existed, so it's more like something to check on my "things to do" list.I don't say much about how things are with me 'cause they are pretty much the same and I don't mean to bother you and scary you away hahaha. I've read Vidas Secas for school and I loved it. It's very regional, but the feelings can be found anywhere. Hope you'll enjoy it.
it was fantastic, hope urs was too. :)
Feliz Ano Novo para você também! What a crazy year 2010 was. On january 16th of this year I'll turn 25, that's terrible... But Christmas was great, many presents and a lot of old/new things to read. This year I'll finally be a french student, so it would be nice to do something for myself for a change. but enough of me, what about you? Is there any plans for this year? Hope everything is great with you and your family.
