Hello everybody! The best book i've ever read is colled "cartas para claudia" by Jorge Bucay, ("letters to Claudia") That book is about a psychologist who has a friend called CLaudia. She had gone to another country and the man writes lots of letters to her explaining about her life and the thing tha happen. I think Jorge Bucay is a great writer! But other writers can be:
GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ (EXCELENT)
HORACIO QUIROGA
JOSE HERNANDEZ
jORGE LUIS BORGES
PABLO NERUDA (POET)
ANTONIO MACHADO

Garbriel García Marquez is one of my favourites too :) I read Cien anos de soledad, Love in the epoch of colera (i only know the hungarian title for this but i hope you know wich one i mean..) and the Nightfall of the patriarch
Do you know Pedro Almodóvar? (he's a filmdirector..)

hmm some favs don't know if they are my all time or any but some that i have liked


Prozac Nation (young and depressed in america) [Wurtzel] - I think FA fans would like this book.

Villette [C. Bronte] - what can i say its a classic

Capital of the World [Hemmingway] - its a short story but quite good, and says ALOT in very few words.

YES! i know pedro almodóvar! I've seen some of his films, and i know the gracia marquek's books you said, "One Love in the epoch of colera"
is "el amor en los tiempos de cólera" Other titles can be: "The amazing and unbelible story about the Cándida Heréndida and her grandma without soul" ("la increíble y triste historia de la Cándida Heréndida y de su abuela desalmada") "The most beutiful drowned in the world" ("el ahogado más hermoso del mundo")Chronicle about and announced death" ("cronica de una muerte anunciada")

I think the translations aren't OK, so please correct me!

Lets see my favorite book is Harry Potter. I love the series! I also like To Kill A Mocking Brid by Harper Lee. I am halfway through it and I started on Friday. I have to read it for AP English. But I like it so far.

How remiss of me. I should have said welcome before this.

Welcome to the site Ashtonfarell. It's nice to hear a new keyboard.Image

A couple of my all time favourite books.
"The Shipping News" by E. Annie Proulx. (Great film too)
"For the Term of His Natural Life" by Marcus Clarke. Epic, frightening, true story.
and pretty much anything by crazyman Kurt Vonnegut. :T
