  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.
  16. I refuse to read the twilight saga, I just can't bear those books.
  17. I'm reading now Interview with the vampire, to be honest I haven't read for about 1 week because right now I'm obsessed watching Dexter hehe, I have already know which book to read afther this one, Lewis Carrol's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the looking glass. The next book after that has to be Ana Karenina by Tolstoy, I have a duty to read it because I met a girl who said she love Leon Tolstoy, then I said her that I found Ana Karenina boring and I left the book after 69 pages, . The next day I felt like a stupid... So I have to read it in order to feel a reason to find it boring or interesting.
  18. Hi Julie, Sorry I didn't see your reply :S I like Stephen King, , really it's just that I'm not used with a lot of informal expressions. I can only say that I loved reading 'It' and Pennywise is the reason I don't like clowns. :S. Now I'd like to read it again but in English. Now that you mention his usually wearing, I have a photo of him and he's using jeans and a T-shirt, yeah, you're right. I haven't seen him wearing another kind of clothes.
  19. Hi Julie, No, I haven't seen him interviewed, I'll look for a video right now . Do you have a favourite book from him? I do, It's 'It' , it took me about one year to have it in English, that book is so rare in Mexico.
  20. I like Stephen King, but I find it a bit difficult to read because he uses a lot of informal expressions and a lot of phrasal verbs, which I don't know the meaning of many of them. I read 'It' and 'Cell' but in Spanish when I was younger.
  21. Oh, thank you so much, Yeah, I've been studying English for about three years, the thing is I study it everyday, . Thank you so much, really.
  22. Yeah, that's a good idea, to lend them after having read them, oh... But I don't know, I don't like the idea that my books are with something else and I know he or she won't take care for my book. :/
  23. Don't you feel like you wanna cry because that person hasn't returned your book or had hurt your book so badly? and you're so angry that you feel like you're in that moment a serial killer chasing people who has one of your books? Sometimes I don't want to lend them, for example, a friend of mine who is Studying English has two of my books, Perfume and The Silence of the Lambs, and it has already been a year since she has my books!! Every time I ask her about them she says she hasn't read them yet... She's on my bad persons list now So I was wondering, do you have some books a friend of yours has in his/her possession? What kind of people you rely enough to lend him/her a book? Have you lost a book in that way? Do you feel you want to kill the responsible who stole any of your books? In my case, I haven't found a person who takes care enough of books, so I think I won't lend one of mine to anyone. Yes, I have lost some books :'(, that's the reason why I'm watching Dexter every night, to learn how a serial killer works in order to get my books back.
  24. I read two books, one for the public transportation, it has to be an easy reading, and the other one at my house.
