Unlike Joe, I can't start my day with a punch up or a whisky cola.Reading is my way to settle scores

Às suas ordens, Lara. O meu insta é thestaristhebook, escreva-me, por favor, o que precisa

Thanks, glad you liked.Birth Penalty is a great title.I would love to read it , please send it my way - bookfortuneteller@gmail.com

Every time I try to write something, I feel like I'm ripping something off Martin Dean musings...

I should have focused more on their relation during my review.But I was too enamored with Martin, who I feel is a modern equivalent to Socrates, with all his insights into human fallibility. Jasper is the unwilling Plato

Many thanks! I perfectly understand that. I've commited the tragic error of re-reading Catcher in the Rye in my forties...For me, it comes to down to having raised a kid.After that, you never wanna hear their opinion on absolutely nothing...

Dambudzo had knock out power : " We came out of the bottle-store arm in arm, the way Jesus and Judas must have been when they both knew each other's secret" .Another hard gem: "I found a seed, a little seed, the smallest in the the world. And its name was Hate. I buried it in my mind and watered with tears. No seed ever had a better gardener"

o próprio Almada Negreiros não se deveria considerar um romancista.Teve uma vida e carreira longas e escreveu apenas este romance.Eu tendo a avaliar livros pela duração do diálogo interior que suscitam.E, ao contrário de outras bafientas escolhas no programa de Português do ensino secundário, imagino que, com temas subjacentes como identidade, independência moral, destino pessoal ou estatuto das mulheres na sociedade, este livro promova sumarentas discussões nas aulas...

Thanks for watching!

Adorei! Em parte, porque cresci numa família semelhante.Tinhamos as mesmas conversas, dilemas semelhantes e até a mesma decoração excêntrica.Isabela Figueiredo descreveu a dinâmica de muitas famílias tugas.e, se me permites a curiosidade, qual foi o livro que te fez sentir o mesmo?

@@thestaristhebook368 hm... Boa pergunta. Acho que o Black Swan Green de David Mitchell é um candidato mas acho que vou pensar mais nisso!

Foi um privilégio! Muito obrigado

This book has been banned in Syria by the Government, not by the citizens whom loved and respected the book, those who got a hold of it illegally. The government didn't want people inside or outside the country to know about the book. This book is not politic based, it is rather a compelling story of the author who had been put in prison and blamed guilty of acts he had not committed. The story has graceful high ups and gruesome down lows, and so many different scenarios happening through out the book, making the book an absolute page turner. I read the book in Arabic, but the book is translated to English and people are giving the translator a lot of credit for his accurate translation on Amazon reviews. So check the book out I promise you will be surprised.

I'm having a hard time finding that book...You sure left me curious about it...Thanks!

@@thestaristhebook368 I sure hope you find, its a great book.

You're welcome, hope I did it justice! One time, I was reading the Invention of Morel in the subway, when a total stranger gave me, out of the blue, a collection of short stories by Cortazar. Next time I saw him, I returned Cortazar's book and lent him a copy of Too Loud.We used to travel on the same schedule and I noticed he started avoiding me, until I stopped seeing him altogether.The reason I've not lost all faith in mankind was because Bohumil seems to have gained another devoted reader. Fine by me!

Many thanks! Hope you enjoy the book( it can be a bit confusing at times, just plow through)

Fossem abordados mais livros assim no secundário, e , talvez , a escola não incompatibilizasse tantas gerações de portugueses com a leitura....

the few things I've read about his biography, seems like he was one of his own characters.What a writer!Thanks for watching

Thanks, Geoffrey! Feel free to suggest some authors...

Thanks for your comment, James.Next Larry Brown on the list is Dirty Work

Greetings, Jon! I should have read Rebellion simultaneously, but it is still on my to do list.I recommend Radetzky March, about historical delusions of grandeur( and with one of the most memorable death scenes I've ever read..)

Muito obrigado, Jessé. Boas leituras!
