And she also said that very few people knew about that book.<br /><br />I think I spent months with the first chapter of Voz do Fogo (it was probably just a few weeks, but it felt like months to me), but after I was done with it, the rest of the book was really fast. The last story is also very strange, but easier to understand.Quiguihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602742240626521732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-70824573023382554652011-08-24T02:25:28.995+01:002011-08-24T02:25:28.995+01:00I loved "A Segunda Manhã do Mundo" as we...I loved "A Segunda Manhã do Mundo" as well. :D It's too bad no one knows about it. :/<br /><br />I must give "A Voz do Fogo" another shot. I was actually enjoying the first story, even though it's a difficult one to read. The thing is, I fell asleep literally on the book twice because of said difficulty. xD That never happened to me with a book! I guess I was too tired then. :Pp7https://www.blogger.com/profile/18357810281550837502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-86584988086559015582011-08-23T21:58:25.847+01:002011-08-23T21:58:25.847+01:00@Kate

That's one of the reasons I plan to re-read it soon. The other is the movie, of course.<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by :)Quiguihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602742240626521732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-67804054510480283172011-08-23T20:37:52.183+01:002011-08-23T20:37:52.183+01:00What a great list.

I read The Left Hand of Darkness and frankly didn't even attempt to review it since I felt like I needed another read of it to really understand all the nuances. <br /><br />Also, I had no idea that the lead singer for Gogol Bordello was Alex in Everything is Illuminated! I started listening to them because of that soundtrack, but did not connect the dots.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314153391153507955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-16568187402676936802011-08-23T17:58:10.452+01:002011-08-23T17:58:10.452+01:00Thanks for dropping by!

The title was really what took hold of me, and the story sounds just so, well, "wacky". Wacky books are usually what keeps me reading during a busy school year, so this novel will be resourceful as well.<br /><br />PS: Please treat me by taking a chance on my <a href="http://meditationsofateenagephilosopher.blogspot.com/2011/08/totally-top-ten-tuesday-numero-dos.html" rel="nofollow">Totally Top Ten Tuesday post.</a> Thanks!Uomo di Speranzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611503055044491078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-202267220742202892011-08-23T14:08:46.974+01:002011-08-23T14:08:46.974+01:00Oh, I love Jonathan Safran Foer's books, too. ...Oh, I love Jonathan Safran Foer's books, too.
