I love threads like these.....
Me, well, I �ve just finished "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" the first part of the Stieg Larsson trilogy. Fab book, I read it in just a few days. Very dark in places though. Not for the fainthearted.
I �m now into something lighter (so far anyway) - "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen, about a man who joins a travelling circus during the Great Depression. I �ve not read anything quite like it. It �s kind of Tim Burton-esque!

I haven�t seen the film Julieta. I know about it, but when there is a film based on a book I like, it usually happens to me that I don�t like it, so ..........
But, La Casa de los Espiritus (I think it has been translated like the house of spirits, but i`m not sure) is wonderful. And Paula is great too. And Hija de la Fortuna, Retrato en Sepia and some others are fantastic.
By the way, Como agua para chocolate, from your neighbour Laura Esquivel is also great. And I�ve seen the film in that case too, and it did not dissapoint me. On the contrary, it made me re-read the book again.
As you can see, I�m quite fond of South-American writers. ANd of course, my favourite one is Garc�a M�rquez. |

I �m reading a non-fiction book, �The Boston Strangler � which is about the famous crimes in that city during the 60s. I �m not reading it for fun, it has to do with my other job apart from teaching (read my profile if you don �t know what I mean).
Lots of love

however....,
Jesusalem (no typo here!) by Mia Couto, a Mozambiquean writer, translated into German, French, Spanish, Catalan, English and Italian, and I mention this, because those translators must be having a hard time translating... if there is some tiny little justice in this World, he �s going to win the Nobel Prize, because although he writes in Portuguese, he is from Mozambique (so, no close awards to the same country). Even better when they are illustrated by Danuta Wojciechowska, Swiss-Polish ascendance, born in Canada. She �s a hell of an illustrator!
Best regards,
