Books still on my mind
 119  8 The landmark for the whole literature world. Every verse teach you something. Definitely, it's a "must to read"

9 9.3 Cities are like a woman, like a desire. Calvino relates
them as a painter drawing every little detail of a big fresco. My Review  Aira's rating:
13 8.6 One of the best book I ever read. A long, dirty, painful, lucid autobiography. And a fierce reflection of the American society
Eddie Bunker  Aira's rating:
9 8.4 I was only 4 years old when I learn by heart "Il passero solitario" (The Lonely Sparrow). My mother taught me, because she love Leopardi. And since then I started loving him too. There are only few author still able to whip readers with their poetry after all this time

15 8.3 There's nothing better than a non-existent knight to talk about contemporary men. There's nothing better than the Middle Ages to talk about the present. There's nothing better than laughing with this fantastic book

6 7.3 Pin is too mature for other children and too little to have a place in the adult's world, so he's perfect to tell what's the truth behind war and the Resistance. And Calvino is perfect to give him voice

6 8 When the WW2 ended, another war started. A big hidden war. The Wu Ming are so good in mixing history, literature and cinema: a book like an adventure-spy movie. Even starring Cary Grant!

13 8.8 A vicious circle of violence and pain. Welsh drag you into this nightmare and you circulate among sorrow-for-the-victim, hate-for-the-torturers, sorrow-for-the-torturer...

160 8.2 I can't even explain why this book captured me that way.
Maybe it's because the young boy and the old man aroused in me the same maternal feeling. Maybe because it tolds about solitudes meeting each other to take soon different ways. Or maybe it's just because I love cats :P BOOKTRAILER if you like it vote here  Aira's rating:
29 7.4 Before Kitchen I never thought how much warm could be a home with someone you love living in it, and how lonely could be a person: so lonely to make her sleep near the refrigerator, to let its buzz reassure her against that horrible silence

6 9 I loved this book for two reasons: the first is Carroll ability to make you laugh and cry in two pages. The second is his idea of what God may be, so similar to mine: a big mosaic made of us, His tesserae. Those tesserae fall in the space, changing color hoping that someday they'll return to the big Mosaic
My Review  Aira's rating:
24 7.4 I don't remember much of the story, I must be honest. What this book left in me is a kind of tapestry in my mind with colors and pieces of stories patched up together
My Review Salman Rushdie reads from "The Satanic Verses" if you like it vote here Aira's rating:
8 7.3 It's a simple story, about simple people. That's the extraordinary thing in this book: with a minimalist style Saroyan goes straight to readers heart like not many authors can do

I'll look for the Portuguese versions of books to read, too.
Brava!
