A wise decision I´m going to start that at the end of the week. But I´ll need to decide what to read in the meantime. I´m going to the library tomorrow but I should probably read one of my own countless books. Just for a change

haha! i'm dealing with that dilemma as well. I had originally planned on reading The Woman in White but i borrowed A Farewell to Arms and am entranced with the writing. I doubt i'll finish the woman in white anytime soon.

Just started reading No One Writes to the Colonel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It's actually my first Marquez and I'm really excited. It says on the back that he regards this one as his best so...

I just started Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose. It's incredible so far. I'm going to dive into catching up on more classics this summer (the official date is as soon as I finish Harry Potter ). This book describes how to read slowly and get the most out of the work of other writers, especially while reading the classics. It's extremely interesting, and I don't want to put it down! Also, on the side I'm reading The Elements of Style. (My beautiful illustrated edition that I got a few years ago for Christmas - it's such a fun edition!)

I just started Everything that is not Stolen or Burnt by Knut Asbjørn Ulstein. I'm really excited about reading this novel since I grew up with the author, and I didn't even know he wrote until suddenly he won this novel writing contest one of the biggest publishing companies in Norway held and then he got published! Kinda cool, I don't know too many authors;)

Yes, I read kinda fast...now I've started Cronica de una Muerte Anunciada (Chronicle of a Death Foretold) by Garcia Marquez. I haven't read Spanish in ages, so I might be stuck in this book for a while...
