Male Waxing Jacksonville

January

Good people. One of my goals this year was make a list of what I read on to see if I am astonished and depressed me so little I can read now (my theory), or if I'm terrified of how much I waste time reading crap (my mother's theory: P). So I'm going to make it month to month.
What I read this month is:

1 .- World War Z, by Max Brooks : great is an understatement. I had high expectations, and despite that I was very pleasantly surprised. If you like zombies, you will not be missed. And it took me a. ..
2 .-
-Zombie Survival Guide the same author. It's hilarious and disturbing at once. And has led me to look for a suitable shelter for outbreaks of level 1, 2 and 3. I have not found a suitable shelter for an outbreak level 4. : P

3 .- The spirit of Christmas , a book of stories by Connie Wilis. As of this author, of course, the stories are also a component of fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, or more of the above.

4 .- The Book of the Dead of Patricia D. Cornwell. This is not zombies. ^ ^ It is rather novel number 15 una saga poliaca protagonizada por una médico forense. La saga tiene muchos altibajos, y muchos fallos, pero se lo perdono porque empecé a leerla con 15 años, cuando era mucho menos exigente, y me hizo pasar muy buenos ratos. La considero, además, la precursora de toda esa fiebre del CSI que tenemos ahora.

5.- Scarpetta. Novela nº 16 de la susodicha saga. Remonta bastante y me reconcilia con la autora.

6.- A praia dos afogados , de Domingo Villar . Una novela negra que transcurre en Vigo.

7.- Apocalipsis Z , de Manel Loureiro . Es curiosísimo read a novel about zombies that runs almost entirely of places and streets I usually walk by. xD As novel is interesting, especially knowing it came from, but it is somewhat naive, and it shows that it is a debut.

8 .- Z Revelation, the dark days . Second part of the former. Highly debatable in my opinion, it has the freshness of its predecessor, and found it a bit pretentious, as if the author had tried to bite off more than it can handle (not to mention a few holes in the plot by that fits the helicopter from one of proteases, at least). Still, not the worst zombie novel I've read. 9 .-

Matilda, Roald Dahl's . Maybe I should not put it here because it is actually a re-reading, but as I have since read it in English, and that he had not done before, he noted. Incidentally, this is something I thought at the time, and I reread it again: the Dursleys seem dull reflection of the parents of Matilda. And at least no secret that Dahl was doing a caricature. I said. 10 .-

Truth, Terry Pratchett's . A novel 'idamente fabulous. I'm seriously considering wear "the truth shall make you free "at the head of LJ. xD 11 .-

Monstrous Regiment , also Pratchett. Another small wonder. 12 .-

Nightwatch . Yes, I know, enough with Pratchett, right? But no! xD I love this man. And this is without doubt the best he has written, which is saying. 13 .-

Rise of Brian Keene. Yes, I know, another zombie, I'm fatal. January has been a month theme. xD Zombies are really original, but the final ... if any day I see Mr. Keene will give the book to the head.

o_O 14 .- Devil comedy from Christopher Moore . This is another author I like very much, and in Spain have resulted in reverse order (so now you are running newer works alternate with the first, for headache myself.) This is, in particular, his first novel, about a boy who never grows old and his demon. If you want to know more, you have to read it. : P

's it. Right now I'm rereading Animal Farm, this time in English, but as I've finished I can not include this month. I get the vocabulary of farm by the ears.

xD And now, my personal account: 14 books, 9 on paper, 5 in the Papyre (of which I have already bought one and I will buy two: P).
See you in February with another account.
