The Portrait of a Lady is a less trash UK version of The Bachelorette. Yes, I'm talking about the book.
An interesting story overpowered by a man's tragedy and revenge, without any clear message but a waste of life.
Does anyone sell second-hand books in Europe? I'm interested in Classics and Modern Classics, as well as non-fiction History/Biography books. Thank you.
My judgement is returned clear and undisturbed and that cloud of ignorance is now removed, which the continual reading of those damnable books of knight-errantry had cast over my understanding..... My life has got me the character of a madman, I may deserve a better at my death!

In the pursuit of the adventures, such as these, men are ordinarily governed by their habits or deluded by their wishes. #prairie
...he (the author) advises all young ladies, all single gentlemen, and all clergymen, it they have the volumes in hand, with intent to read them, to abandon the design.
Fiction reading is just a distraction from learning anything in our lives.
Hi guys! Does anyone have a good online bookstore to recommend that delivers books for european market?
Got the first glimpse of the Indian culture reading this song. Feel free to recommend something as good as this one.
Just started listening to a shash of 100+ audiobooks I've been gathering for some time. First in line, alphabetically, Arthur Conan Doyle and A Study in Scarlet.
At the front of the bus, Billie picks up a pair of Chris's patched, ragged jeans and, closing her eyes, presses them to her face.
I would never understand how this is a children's book. The story is harrowing.
Full of life, and hardships.
Hey, guys. Do you know if it's possible to read comic books on kindle?
There aren't many things better than The X-Files on tv.
For the world was changing, and sweetness was gone, and virtue too. Worry had crept on a corroding world, and what was lost-good manners, ease and beauty? Ladies were not ladies any more, and you couldn't trust a gentleman's word.
Blessed are the forgetful; for they get over their stupidities, too.
I read some books, so what should I do to make them count for our team? @Clwojick

The best one of the series so far.
Just transfered 1400+ books to my Kindle. Am I going mad?!

I've got chills, they're multiplying...
Let's make it an all year round Readathon.
The world is ours, we are its lords, and ours it shall remain. As for the host of labor, it has been in the dirt since history began and it shall remain so long as I and mine and those that come after us have the power. There is the word.

In 1894, Jack London shared his experience on some bulls/policemen. "I lost all interest in explanations. I didn't stop to pick up my precious, unread book. I turned and ran. I was pretty sick, but I ran. And ran I shall, to my dying day, whenever a bull begins to explain with a club."
Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevski is one of the great books. What's your favorite classic?
Steinback is brutally honest picturing the early 20th century american society. People constantly daydreaming and at the same time facing harsh life conditions, poverty and hunger, makes him an author Europe should explore a lot more.
It was suppposed to be March Melville, but it took me longer to read this one. Some of the characters are pure gold, but most of all the depiction of the life on the sea as a sailor boy is amazing. Onto the next one #WhiteJacket
