The last book I read : Continuing my habit of reading books that were later adapted to the big screen, I'm done of Day One Andrew Nichols, a peculiar love story through almost two decades that has made a film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. I've also read much of Teleshakespeare , Jordi Carrión, dedicated to the television series . I have not finished because it has several articles devoted to series that have not started or completed, and do not want spoilers.
The book I'm reading : Well typically remain with two, one novel and a test or similar. Right now I have almost finished The Country of Last Things , Paul Auster, and just started Tell Me No Lies , a compilation of investigative journalism, edited by John Pilger.
The book that changed my thinking : It changed my way of thinking but it had great impact on me and how I perceive the world 1984 by George Orwell. Perhaps it could also add here Siddartha, Herman Hesse, and The Prince , Saint-Exupery.
The last book that made me mourn : I am very weepy in general, but the books cost me a little more. I think the last was After You'd Gone by Maggie O'Farrell , an author who has just published a novel in Spain, but whose works have surprised me for good, and that initial expectations were not very high. I am also excited to Letter from an Unknown Stefan Zweig and Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
The last book that made me laugh : I usually choose books rather sad, but I remember reading The Adventure of the ladies room Eduardo Mendoza on the bus and notice people looking back at my laughter continued.
A borrowed book that I have returned : Wow, many. The one I hurt, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. When I lent it was quite hard to get in Spain.
A borrowed book that I have not returned : I think none.
A book read again : To name some I have not reread Leviathan by Paul Auster; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley; Written on the Body, Jeanette Winterson, any Agatha Christie or Raymond Chandler.
A Book that changed my life: not changed my life but it was discovered that my favorite contemporary author. The Book of Illusions was Auster's first novel I read. I finished in a flash and I loved it.
A book to give to blind : I usually give books to friends and loved ones. The Book of Illusions has been chosen several times already, though I admit that Auster is a particular author who does not like the whole world.
A book that surprised me for good : Earth unusual of Jhumpa Lahiri.
A book that disappointed me Here I put two pieces that even I was able to finish: I of Elfriede Jelinek, and El Consuelo, by Anna Gavalda. I took a monumental disappointment with both.
A book that I stole: None.
The author of more books that I have : Without a doubt, Paul Auster. It is my literary weakness. Literally swallowed up their works. I only got two for reading.
A valuable book: For the sentimental value it has for me, editing The Prince with original illustrations gave me a few years ago.
A book that I've been meaning to read: Anna Karenina. I have it on the shelf and in e-book but never find the time.
A book that would prohibit: I think none.
The next book I read: I have already prepared Room, Emma Donoghue, who was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize last year. I have very curious to know the story well.
