The boy in the stripped pyjamas
Lo acabo de leer en inglés y ¡conseguí entenderlo!. El final es emocionante, mas bien te deja hecho polvo. ¿Teneis una recomendación para el próximo?
Estaba pensando en 'A voyage to the South Pole and around the World' de James Cook pero dudo si esta vez podre entender nada. Si alguien ha leido alguno de viajes/descubrimientos escuchare su recomendación gustosamente :)
I'd like to write this in english but I find it too difficult! :( I think I can read better than write...
Bye
David

Books exchange/Intercambio de libros
Hi!! I'd like to read GOOD books in English, but I find it pretty difficult to buy them (don't know where to find cheap ones), and besides, I never know which ones are worth it. So here is my deal (to anyone who like it):
I propose an exchange of ENGLISH-SPANISH books to anyone interested in reading in Spanish: I'd send a GOOD Spanish book to that person and he/she will send me back a GOOD English one.
(Cheap ones, with paper cover, to make the sending cheaper).
ANYONE INTERESTED??? Greetings! ireneg7

Re:Recommended reading
Hi Michelle,
I will read books that you have suggest. Thank you for your suggestion!
I have one book to recommend: "L'ombra del vento"...this is a Italian title but in English it could be: "The Shadow of the Wind" wrote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. This is not very much about travel...but it's very exciting! Maybe you could be interests. Bye!

Recommended reading
Hi All,
Saw this msg board and thought I would recommend some good books for you to enjoy:
1) Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts (abt an escapee from an Australian Jail who finds himself in India)
2) The Scillian - Mario Puzo - the novel sequel to the "Godfather" and dare I say a better book!
3) The 5 people you meet in heaven - Mitch Albom - small book but has a big impact!
4) The Book Thief - Marcus Zuzack - set in Germany during WW2.
If anyone has suggestions of worthy reads (esp. those set in foreign countries/travel narratives) would love to hear from you!!
Hasta Luego!
Michelle

Re:Re:I like crime novels
Hello! I have read the Da Vinci Code and it is the sequel to Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons". The DaVinci Code is about the Vatican's role in hidding the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Jesus. The book begins with the death of Jacques Saunière, a curator at the Louvre Museum, who's body is found. The strange thing is his body is positioned like Da Vinci's Vitruvian man, and there is a cryptic message written by his body and a bloody pentacle on his stomach. This is where the government calls in Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor who specializes in symbols, but what Langdon doesn't know is what the message next to Saunière's body says is "PS find Robert Langdon". The agent in charge is no other than Saunière's granddaughter Sophie Nevue and she has a message for Langdon . . if he doesnt listen to it then he could die.
Together Sophie and Robert must figure out what message her grandfather left behind. It the biggest secret that can change mankind.
I read this book in 1 day . . it was awesome!

Re:have you read...
Hello!
I have read "Kite Runner" and "A thousand splendid suns" is on my pending list.
I loved/hated "Kite runner", which I think is a good thing, since the point of a novel is to make you feel what the characters are going through. My point of view, my perspective, is that te main focus of the novel i about the loss and fragility of innocence. How tarnished the life of child can become by the senseless acts of hate between human beigns. But not all is grief and tragedy, there are some beautiful traits that are portrayed in a unique way; customs, values, hope, which are seen through the eyes of afghani innocence... There's just so much about this novel that I could keep writing forever.
"For you, a thousand times over"
Thanks for your time!
