Penelope Lively: Moon Tiger (Paperback, 1997, Grove Press)

Review of 'Moon Tiger' on 'Goodreads'

This book was recommended to me because I reminded several friends of one of the characters, and of course that made me curious. I bought it and it's been languishing on a shelf for too many years. It's next on my list.

*****

This has been a complete disappointment, mostly because the pace is too slow and the characters, language and events are not engaging enough to compensate for that. A shame.

Trainspotting is the first novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh, first published in 1993. It …

Review of 'Trainspotting' on 'Goodreads'

I know this book by heart - in the Spanish translation. Let's see how well I can understand Welsh's original Scots.

Dorothy Parker: The Collected Dorothy Parker (Penguin Modern Classics) (2001, Penguin Books Ltd)

Review of 'The Collected Dorothy Parker (Penguin Modern Classics)' on 'Goodreads'

I don't like to read this book cover to cover because that's not the way it's supposed to. I like to read a couple of stories, let it rest and pick it again.

Review of 'The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy, gentleman' on 'Goodreads'

Een rijke Amerikaanse jonge vrouw met een sterke drang naar onafhankelijkheid blijft, ondanks alles wat …

Yeah, right. I know I should read this one. It's a classic and everything. And I enjoyed the movie. But it's a plodding mess. I very much doubt I'll read it any time soon: shame on me.

Herman Melville: Billy Budd and Other Stories (Paperback, 1986, Penguin Books) Sin valoración

Seven stories deal with a slave rebellion, an obstinate copyist, an accidental murder, a voyage …

I read "Benito Cereno" about a year ago and I found it interesting for very academic reasons, but I didn't really enjoy it. I hope to like the other stories in the book as much as I liked Moby Dick a few years before.
