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.

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

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.
It's dry, and sour, and bitter, and delicious.

Laguiri reseñó The portrait of a lady de Henry James (Penguin classics)
Review of 'The portrait of a lady' on 'Goodreads'
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.

Laguiri reseñó Billy Budd and Other Stories de Herman Melville (Penguin Classics)
Review of 'Billy Budd and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'
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.
