My life with the Simpsons
I can still remember the night "The Simpsons" premiered in my country. It was 1992, I was at my then bff's house with her family waiting anxiously for the show that had been publicized for so long (I even had all the official dolls by then, including a Maggie that was...
Sunset Boulevard, because it captures many facets of people's natures perfectly on a grim setting, and leaves you thinking how close limit is between madness and sanity, ambition and corruption; has wonderful performances (beyong my long time crush with William Holden), and the photography, the...
I think that instead of "Satisfaction", it could be "Born in the USA", by Bruce Springsteen. Not being an american, both the song and the singer are very representative of the US fos us who live outside of it...I dunno if I made my point clear :( .
To me it was "In cold blood", which I read when I was about 15 and couldn't finish it, but now that "Capote" is opening here, I was curious and picked it up again. To my surprise I finished it in 48 hs and was very pleased.
Kitchen Confidential-Anthony Bourdain
half way of Anna Karenina-Leon Tolstoy (its size is big, so I find it hard to take it with me when I'm not at home, which is when I read the most)
In cold blood-Truman Capote (will be finishing it today)
I've been extremely lazy in reading though this...

another classics lover
sunset boulevard
sabrina-the hepburn/holden/bogart version (and yes, I have a sweet tooth for Billy Wilder)
gone with the wind
and I must include "annie hall", even if it says 3 fav movies...
usually a shirt/gown when it's colder, sometimes with pants, but as soon as it gets a bit warmer, just nothing-unless I'm in a glamourous mood, then I'll get a vintage looking nightie.
Argentinian authors, not really contemporaries but worth checking:
Manuel Mujica Lainez-El Escarabajo (the beetle)
Horacio Quiroga-Cuentos de amor, locura y muerte (talesof love, madness and death)
Marco Denevi-Rosaura a las diez (Rosaura at ten), un pequeño cafe (a small cafe),Ceremonia...
My mother tongue is spanich and many times I end up reading in english because some books are never translated to spanish-especially many technical books in areas like arquitecture, design, fashion, wich I consume a lot-but often I do find myself buying them because I prefer to read the authors...
