    What an amazing book that I didn't know about! I have bought it in spanish because it was the most affordable way and the quickest one to have it in a few days. Ps. I m fallen in love with bioy casares. I finished diario de guerra de un cerdo (i enjoyed it so much), el sueno de los heroes and I have just started dormir al sol. La invension de morel is the book I liked the least. With regard to conrad I've read nostromo, the secret agent and lord jim. I agree with you. Nostromo is his masterpiece even if I enjoyed the secret agent the most. Thanks for your precious advice. Have a gorgeous day, my friend. Bye!

      Hola Marinella! 😃 UA-cam is showing your message twice, so I'll include my reply here too, just in case! Here it goes: This novel was a bestseller at one point, mostly in Japan, but not many people read it nowadays. I think you'll enjoy it! Omg, that is so amazing that you have been reading Bioy!! Dormir al sol is my favorite, so I'm curious to know what you think about it. If you love Bioy, you're going to be very happy on Thursday (that is, if I manage to make the video I am planning). Thank you as always for watching and commenting, my friend, and have a fantastic week!

    Burma is a reminder of a pleasant time for me. Not because I have been there, but because I have been there while reading Burmese Days by George Orwell.

      Hello, Francesco! 😃 That book by Orwell is on my reading list, as I have only read (how typical of me) 1984 and Animal Farm. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
