My BookLog
Books June 5th, 2007Álvaro has just written a post about the books he has recently read and the books that he’s currently reading. So it’s a good time to write about my reading habits, upload my booklog and add a link in the sidebar to the left. As you can see if you take a look at it I’m not exactly an avid reader. When I was a kid I used to read a lot more but since I discovered the net (and spend hours and hours reading stuff) my book reading habits decreased a lot. As a matter of fact, last year I read only 2 miserable books, quite quite far from people that read (or at least try) 50 books a year, like Pjorge, my brother or Rikel.
However, since March I’ve begun reading a bit more, almost everyday. And little by little I’m going to try reading more everyday. Let’s set a goal of 10 books this year. Not a big achievement, but it’s a good starting point.

The last books that I’ve read are:
-The Best of Roald Dahl (english): A collection of Roald Dahl’s best short stories. Roald Dahl is the writer of the famous Charly and the Chocolate Factory. This compilation is a book easy to pick up and read one of its entertaining stories.

-The Picture of Dorian Gray (english): A true classic written by Oscar Wilde. I read a simplified version that I bought for my mother who is learning english. I didn’t like it very much, maybe because it was a rewriting by some other author and was not in its original form.
And currently I’m reading:
-A Short History of Nearly Everything (spanish): By Bill Bryson, a book that my uncle recommended me some time ago and I bought in Fnac the last time I went. It’s a book about diferent topics in science explained in an easy way. I’ve read 3 chapters and until now I find it very interesting.
In the future I have the intention to read:
-Kafka on the Shore (english) by Haruki Murakami.
-Once Upon a Time in Japan (english): A compilation of popular Japanese tales.
-The Metamorphosis (english) by Franz Kafka

Acabo de leer eso de los 50 libros por anyo y es muy chungo… jeje… yo creo que al final podrias hasta mezclar argumentos… si se llega a los 30 ya son muchos XD
El Retrato de Dorian Gray lo lei hace tiempo en espanyol y el libro no me gusto. Sin embargo el final me parece cojonudo y digno de leer las 200 o 300 paginas de morralla del principio…
La metamorfosis no esta mal… es un poco extranyo pero no esta mal…
Kafka on the Shore tambien esta en mis futuribles. Si te lo lees antes que yo, ya me cuentas…

Me niego a aceptar la metarmorfosis como libro apto para los 50, si acaso alguna recopilación de relatos de Kafka.
Yo he terminado hace poco el retrato de Dorian Gray (original y en inglés) y sí me ha gustado (teniendo en cuenta que es de 1900 y escrito por el pendante de Wilde), me reí bastante con las alusiones que hace a la forma de pensar de los ingleses, de la importancia que le dan a las apariencias y tal.
