So far 16 months ago

i am failing in this “thing”. I am so tired after work that can´t find the moment to take a book and not fall asleep right away. I need to do something about that…



thanks 20 months ago

to these BEAUTIFUL and Perfect 4 days of holidays i finished one book, the book of march.
I have been reading THe love in Cholera times for 2 months (mmmm….yes, it got a bit boring in the middle), now i read González and Daughter Trucking Co., and started Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I am happy that i started this hobby again although i wished i had more time or that i were less tired during the week to give more time to reading.



now reading 2 years ago

The Clan of the Cave Bear…it´s been so long since a book don´t catch me and this has done it so I am so happy because I lost the habit of reading.



Finished 2 years ago

And needed more than I thought (I am not so constant)but I finished reading “Panic”. I have to give it to who borrowed it to me. Then I have to finish the other book borrowed by the same person, let´s see how long do I take (Hope not much but I am somehow slow reader in English).
A book I want to re-read again is one by Edgar Allan Poe called “The narrative of Arthur Gordon PyM” that I read many years ago and impressed me so much. I remember the feeling the end left in me and need to read it again.



another 3 years ago

book ive been wanting to read for so long is Sinuhé the Egyptian by Mika Waltari. I bought it today for just 3e in a book fair together with a book about photography. :)) This has made me so happy, was able to go out one Sunday morning and enjoyed the walk as it was sunny (but not hot, my toes were freezing).



2 more books to add to that list 3 years ago

of books to read:
2 books I forgot I wanted to read and that a good friend reminded:
from Pérez Reverte: El Club Dumas, La Tabla de FLandes.

Right now I am good with that one called “Panic” is has hooked me, im trying to read it in the next two weeks.



A friend 3 years ago

has lend me two books in english to read: “Panic” and “Good in Bed” . The first one is ok, but I feel kind or nervous while reading it, the second one is harder to read but Ill do my best.
A book in my mother tongue I want to read is 1984.



Want to read 3 years ago

some books in english and as they are so expensive in the only book shop there is in my city (about 12e or more a book) I am going to buy them online: “Life of P” is one of them and the other is ” Curious incident of a dog at night-time”. Till I get them I am going to read just teaching books.



Any 3 years ago

suggestion is welcomed!



ive been trying but i cant 3 years ago

I guess im not in the mood of reading and that i have too many things in my head by now that dont let me concentrate on it, but even that im still reading but being slowly at it. im trying to have a reading habit again i dont want to beat a record just have to go little by little.
