I'm waiting for the sequel of "Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children". I loved that book, I can't wait to see how.. no, sorry! I'm not going to do any spoiler.

I went to library today but none of the books I wanted had arrived.. not my lucky day. I got some good classics, anyway!

I read Less than Zero.. I quite liked it, but I must admit Ellis it's not really my style. I finished Game of thrones: wonderful!! I can't wait to jump into A clash King .. if it's the right title!

I read it a couple of months ago and I really cried my heart out. It's a great story about love and courage. Teenagers liked it too and not only because of the "distressing" illustrations.

Today Italy lost one of its greatest actress of all time. Her movies are on quite every chennels. So sad someone must die to let us see some masterpiece!

Probably I'm the only one who don't do this, surely not due to my will. I don't have a real job and there's not much money left after I pay bills and buy some food. So I pick books from the library. But believe me, every time I catch a glimpse of a book shop I run as fast as I can to avoid any temptations because I would probably buy a whole bookshelf if I could

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Pop.Co... Maybe it was the italian translation that made the whole thing more enjoyable?! The end of Mr.Y is one of the bokk I love the most, anyway. I'm 70% through Games of thrones and it's really good. And I'm really really sorry for your loss, Carm. There's not much more to say.

Frankie's right!! And The Prince of Mist is really good! I went to the library this morning and I took: Games of Thrones (Martin) and The horse Goddess (Llywelyn). I'll start them in a few hours.

Hope you'll like Pop.Co, I loved it because it made me think. I'm reading The Stolen Child.. not too sure if I like it, though!

Finished Gabaldon's Outlander last night. Now I'm not too sure what to start next. Maybe Ken Follett..

Tonight there's A Christmas Carol waiting for me on my desk. It's a sort of tradition between me an my old friend Charles for Xmas Eves.

A Midsummer NIght's Dream is my favourite.. but I deeply love all Shakespeare's works.

I work with teenagers and they read much more than my friends did when we were young. Harry Potter and Twilight rapresent a turning point in the relationship between teens and books. One of my boys fell in love with Edgar Allan Poe and he's always reading. Mind you, he's dislessic.

I started an Enquist book last night.. it's not so easy to right down the title, but I can tell you it's about a young doctor called Johann Friedrich Struensee.. I think I will start Outlander by Diana Gabaldon as well tonight.

I cried my heart out on A Monster calls by Patrick Ness on a idea of Siobhan Dowd... It's wonderful, but I'm still sobbing a little!

Finished Tuesdays with Morrie and I sterted The five people you meet in Heaven, I love how Albom writes.

Just started Tuesdays with Morrie bi M. Albom.. seems interesting!

Just finished The Crimson Petal and the White and I loved it so much I don't know what I can read after a book like that!! I'll wander through my library's bookshelves to find something good.

I was a huge Boyzone fan and I bought the book on Amazon because I thought Steo deserved it. It has a good plot but the style is.. how to say... childish. But it's not so fair to judge this aspect because Stephen didn't have the time to re write some parts or something. His housband printed it lost in the deep flows of emotions after that sad October night. Maybe Steo would have changed something, if only...

Did she really travel in the mentioned countries before she wrote the book?! Very strange.. the real Rome is so different from the one described.

Yes!! It's called something like You might as well live, well I mean, that's the translation of the italian title.. anyway, Dorothy Parker was a genius. And The Crimson petal is sooo wonderful I can't stop read it even if I'm in bed with high fever at the moment.

Just started The Crimson petal and the White.. it's really intriguing. And I have only a few pages left of a Dorothy Parker collection of her short stories. Now I know what being a wit means.

Nothing, and so be it is a brutally real relation of the Vietnam war. Fallaci pictures a chilling description of the violence but, most of all, of the non-sense of a conflict seen from the "pawns" point of view. It's really tough - not as harsh as her other work Inshallah, though - still, sometimes I found it hard to read on. Oriana Fallaci was a great italian journalist, very unlike her several embedded colegues: she used words as if they were knives, everything was black or white, no shades of grey. That kind of person you love or hate, but you can't simply ignore.
