expand my book collection

I’m still reading it. But since I’m a fan of Jane Austen and Pride & Prejudice is one of my favourite books of all times… yes, I needed to buy it.
So far so good. An interesting portrait of how a man fell in love and the struggles he faced in virtue of the situation that his object of affection was: Elizabeth Bennet wasn’t rich, did not had a title nor the finest family.
Let’s see where it leads us…

Mr. Darcy’s Diary: A Novel; Amanda Grange.

The memoir of a girl who becames a patient in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960’s is a good book. I read in three days (I did not have much time to finish it at once).It’s not about being crazy but wonder, discovery and society behaviour towards those who do not fit in.

Girl, interrupted; Susana Kaysen.

Weird thing is that I used to read Paulo Coelho when I was about eleven, twelve years old… and never read this specific book. Since the movie based on the novel has been released and I saw the treiler, I knew I had to see it. Hey, I’m a curious person! Why not read the book as well? That’s what I did. Everything in one day. Truth to be told? The movie is way better than the novel. I mean, it’s like his idea (wich was great, I’ll give him that) was changed in everything I would have changed in the book. You know when you read something and you just feel the general idea is good but could be so much better if written in another way, with some changes here and there? Here it is a classical example.

Veronika decides to die; Paulo Coelho.

First of all: I always loved vampires. Yesterday I barely woke up with the sound of the doorbell and I recieved the first book of the Vampire Chronicles: Interview With The Vampire. I started my reading, eager. I’m not finished – not yet – wich is delicious ‘cause I’ll enjoy every single page.

Interview With The Vampire; Anne Rice.
