I'm looking for my next read and this time I decided to look for it in a different place: not in libraries nor in bookstores, but in a free on-line library called Project Gutenberg. If anyone knows it, I'd be glad to know if the quality of the ebooks provided in this site is high or low. In...

I'm on vacation in home, back from a short trip and finishing to read a book. Now I wanna decide what I'll read next. I need a book that could make me cogitate about life problems, personal facts that bring unhappiness, etc. But I'm not looking for self-help books. I want to read a...

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 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...
