Read this book few months ago and had not touch any books since. Going to start reading again
 Eleven Minutes is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that "love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer. . . ." A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune. Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness -- sexual pleasure for its own sake -- or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.

Hi maurois, i'm glad you loved Auntie Mame, it's a very funny classic, shame that Patrick Dennis didn't write other great books like this, the 1958 movie starring Rosalind Russell as auntie Mame is also good.

Lol i understand you maurois
but this is not a problem, i have the same too . La Cuesta de Moyano should be a wonderful place, i think i would have go crazy for all these books Talking about this, in the last months i had no more space where to put my books so i decided to buy an e-reader, i was really perplexed at first cause i thought was not as good as the real books but i have to say that i really enjoyed my purchase, i bought a Kobo Aura, it's really easy to use, you can read very well without straining your eyes and you have space for thousand of books, you can also expand your memory with a 32GB Micro Sd Card, it's great for comics also so i'm very happy with it. And you guys, what do you think about e-readers? Do you have already one or planning to buy one? [hidden image - please register] |

Named after the zamorano political Claudio Moyano, author of the Education Act 1855 and having a bronze statue at the start of the climb. At the bottom of the hill there is another statue dedicated to Basque writer Pío Baroja. This bronze statue was previously located within the Parque del Retiro. Well, cheap books, very cheap...I have bought 12 books spending only 20 euros, is true not is a new books, secondhand or third hand or fouth hand ...believe me, is amazing for people like me or you or modest (sorry If forget some name) but now I have a big problem because now I must to decide what books is the next reader...horrible ploblem, you know With some pictures maybe you understand to me: [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] |

My recommendation for the long winter evenings are the novels and novellas of Stefan Zweig,an Austrian author (28.11.1881-22.02.1942).
He has written many biographical,historical and fictional books.I like his writing style,full of passion,emotion and humanity.Maybe not everyone's thing,but pleasure for me. Here are just some of his books: [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] One of his best books is 'The World of Yesterday'.Zweig's autobiography.But it's much more than that.
