    E.L. James: Fifty Shades of Grey

    This book had mixed reviews. I'm one of those who did not like the book. By the way I could not even read it after the initial pages. That's because the book seem to be written exclusively for female audiences. I'm a guy. The book takes so much lines for describing how perfect Gray is that...

    Got an iPad, Is it a waste to get an ereader

    The great feature of e-readers is the e-paper display (most of them have it). This is great for reading because it wont emit light, working as a paper. That way you will have a more comfortable reading. Also reading outside in a sunny day won't be a problem. This is the only actual difference...

    Alternating Genres?

    Treadmills are kinda boring for me, a very monotonous thing. And I am not used to the idea of listening to audiobooks as well. I like to exercise my body 'cause it prevents against stress and other stuff. So I prefer exercises that improve the development of my body muscles. While I do so, I...

    german books

    Welcome. See, I don't know about German language, but I can assure you English is a very easy language to learn. Principally if you are a Latin-derived-language speaker--and I'm telling you this because my first language is Portuguese--, which is your case, once English grammar is a lot...

    Do you take book notes?

    You're a lucky girl. I don't take notes when I'm reading fiction. But things are a lot different when I'm dealing with academic/legal material. I must take many notes because I can't memorize everything. It's so much stuff to memorize. There are points I learn, so I don't have to take...

    On literary deconstruction

    Very interesting post tZar, I'd like to ask you about something concerning this subject. As you said, So, as far as I can understand, the text is not self-sufficient in content because its meaning must be complemented with the reader's values. The values you exposed in your example (pride –...

    Do you take book notes?

    As I said, I don't use to take notes of the book I'm reading but I had to make an exception for the one I'm reading right now. So I accessed Wikipedia and printed the family tree I need to follow the story line. There really are a lot of characters... This will make things a lot easier.

    Do you take book notes?

    Do you take notes of the book you're reading? I'm starting to read One hundred years of solitude now. A friend of mine lent me the book and I found a paper inside of it in which a family tree is printed. He explained me that it is the family's the story is about. So I asked him what was that...

    Is online text reading really reading?

    I agree that what matters is not where you read, but what you read. So it does not matter if your read from a printed book or an ebook. The device used (paper or an electronic device) will make no difference. But reading news, on line forums or any other small texts on the internet requires...

    Are You A Slacker?

    I read every day, but each day I read for 1/2 to 1 hour. So generally I take a lot of days to finish a book. But I never stop. Slowly and always... Only exceptionally I read for more than an hour during a day. That happens when I'm very interested in the book. As an example, the book that I'm...
