    what language should I choose??

    As I said in another post I got this weird habit of reading - I say weird because mostly no one reads like me and you mates from this forums - and we all know that it’s always better to read a foreign author’s book in it’s original version than reading a translated version, even tough there are...

    starting a new reading now - what a fine feeling!

    I just got "Of human bondage", by W. Somerset Maugham. I've read many reviews about it in the internet. Weird thing is that the reviews were such different from each other that it seemed they were not all about the same book. But they were, there's no other similar title. All I know is that...

    I think I know why people don’t read

    corrections... Oh well look at these silly mistakes: these two words I wrote above “probles” and “thing” should be replaced respectively by “problems” and “think”, as you may have perceived. I can’t edit the above topic now, so this explanation will be enough.

    I think I know why people don’t read

    I know many people and I got a lot of friends and none of them likes reading as I do. And this is not a peculiarity of my acquaintances . See, most of people don't care about reading. So I may say reading is a weird habit. It's hard to find someone who likes reading and for me that was the...
