  1. Thanks!! I'll double check the dialogue. I'm really glad you liked it. In Mexico the comic is not very popular but I think it's because we use another kind of humor than the usual mexican jokes. Well, again, thanks a lot for the comments.
  2. Hey there! I just wanted to tell you about a webcomic I'm making with my wife. I'm not a good drawer but I try to improve everyday and my wife makes the dialogues. We're from Mexico and to our friends... well, they have another type of humor, so they don't like it so much and I think the comic hasn't reached the correct audience yet... Anyway, I wanted to present NanaNyme to you and have some opinions about it... (It would mean a lot to us. ) http://www.facebook.com/NanaNyme http://www.nananyme.tumblr.com
  3. The only one who comes into my mind is Dexter Morgan, but it's a fictional character. But you can try it, the books are written by Jeff Lindsay. The first one is "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" I hope you like it as much as I do.
  4. Thank you so much, Chrissy I've heard of Sophie's world, but I didn't think it was considered as a first book in philosophy haha. Now I'm feeling lucky since I have this book in Spanish at home. After that book, do you know how to continue reading philosophy? Maybe I should read it first and then ask hehe. Andrea, I'l try read them for sure, thank you so much.
  5. I've returned to this place after a really long time. :)

  6. Hi!! I don't know if there's someone who has started this topic, please feel free to move this on its correct place if there is one. Thank you. Recently I've decided to start reading Philosophy but I've found that I can't understad Platón or Sócrates, a friend of mine told me that I need to start with history of philosophy but I don't know which book I must pick up first. Is there a way to start reading Philosophy?
  7. Some weeks ago I finished reading this book, and I'd like to recommend it to the forum. I'm so bad making reviews. So I add one I found in Amazon: "How the Steel Was Tempered is Nikolai Ostrovsky's epic semi-autobiographical novel, the only book he ever completed before his life was cut tragically short by illness at the age of 32 in 1936. Ostrovsky was a teenage soldier in the Red Army during the Civil War, before continuing his work in the Communist Youth League (Komsomol) and frequently appeared in Soviet magazines and on radio. Through its hero, Pavel Korchagin who begins the story as a boy slaving in the kitchens of a railway station restaurant in wartorn Tsarist Ukraine, the book follows not just Korchagin's developing life but also the development of socialism from the ashes of the First World War, through the triumph of the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution to the launch of the Soviet Union's planned economy at the end of the 1920s." I loved this book since its first pages, this is one of the books that inspires self-improvement. Has anybody read it?
  8. Wow, so long since the last time I've been here. Well I'm currently reading "it" by SK. I hope to not take so long to read it.

    Post Yourself

    Oh, what a lovely idea, I also want to post myself So this is me. ^^
  10. Those books are really good , but I'm afraid that she has already read those. Anyway, thank you so much.
  11. Every time I read a book in English I get frustrated because I read it so slow... :(

  12. Once I bought an old book which had a really good drawing, made with pencil. At first I thought it was a drawing related to the book, but after I realised that it wasn't.
  13. I enjoy giving books to my most loved people, one of them is my current teacher of English. I asked her if she wanted a book in Spanish but she said it was ok to buy her a book in English, so I was thinking of these books; The Analyst - John Katzenbach** My Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold* The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus - Christopher Marlowe** * Read ** Not read What do you think about these books, which one would you give to a teacher of yours? If you have any other recommendation (please!!) I surely would be very grateful to you.
  14. Thank you so much. You're the first person here that I see has a Borges' quote, he's really good, But I prefer read him in Spanish, also I have to say, Borges is one of the most difficult authors I've read. .

    Martial Arts

    I did taekwondo for 5 years, I was really happy with that, and then Mexico won gold medal in it on the last Olympic games, since then taekwondo is being so crowded and in my school were nearly 100 white belts, it was so annoying, because I like that feeling that you're doing something that NOT EVERYBODY does, so I left it. Now after two years, I'm still feeling that I need to kick or to hit someone haha, I'm considering practicing another martial art, I've been thinking of Judo, I'm not sure yet.
