reading & music


The book of Maylis de Kerangal is sometimes hard to read because of the emotion. A young man has died in a car accident and the hospital asked the parents if they are ok for organ donation. Times of sadness, questions of parents, their feelings, how to present this request to parents, etc ... full of difficult and delicate moments. "Repair the living" is the title of the book in French.

The biography of Marie Antoinette by Zweig is really good. Loved learn many details about the destiny of this woman. Makes me want to read other biographies of people living at the same time. I also want to go to Versailles .... it's weird but I have never gone there...



I'm from Barcelona / Growing up is for trees
Very good indie pop album. They'll be playing next week in Paris. I'll maybe try to go to their show but this is not sure for the moment.

  4. J'aimerais bien lire l'histoire de Marie Antoinette. J'ai visité Versailles il y a quelques années et c'est incroyable. Je voudrais y retourner!
