The New York trilogy - Paul Auster
I haven't finished this book. I read the first part, but I haven't wanted to keep reading. Maybe my mood was not open, I don't know, but I haven't hooked this story.
The picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
I wanted to read this book for a long time. It's done! Youth, beauty, decay, art and fantastic in the Victorian era... Very good book, I would like to see the movie now that came out a few years ago.
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
I loved Emma I read some time ago but I think I prefer this one. I love being immersed in the life and habits of English society of the nineteenth. Very interesting. I read this book really quickly and I want to discover other novels of this author.
Svar við bréfi Helgu (La lettre à Helga) - Bergsveinn Birgisson
This short novel is a letter and a confession of love. It's beautiful and moving. I definitely like how Icelandic authors write...
Oh how I love the beautiful covers of French books! I could wander in French bookstores for hours just looking at the wonderful cover art. I adore Jane Austen too. One summer while I was in France I read & reread all of her works because I was able to download them all on my iPad for free. But then I miss out on the beauty of the actually books.
RépondreSupprimerReally good reads! Paul Aster and Bergsveinn Birgisson are not familiair to me, but the other classics are. I enjoyed reading them very much!

J'aime bien Jane Austen, surtout Pride and Prejudice. J'ai envie de lire Sense and Sensibility encore une fois.
RépondreSupprimerI really admire that you get to read so many books. I used to read a lot when younger, but now I only feel like reading crime novels. Just discovered Jean-Christophe Grangé :)
RépondreSupprimeri got the latest Paul Auster (winter something), and was disappointed. Jane Austen? Oh, I love all of her work! Persuasion and P&P are my favorites.
RépondreSupprimerPaul Auster, I have already read. I like the Americans like Auster or Updike or Boyle. My destination is to read in original.
