Anything BUT The Alchemist by Paul Coelho... it's really overrated.

Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms.

Sometimes not a easy book to read, but the historical recreation was great. 9/10

I loved it. 8/10

Liked that book a lot! Of course the movie, "Bram Stoker's Dracula", has an extra thing that the book doesn't, but it is a nice gothic/horror book.

I've only read some Chekhov short stories since I had searched for that play (Uncle Vanya) but I couldn't find it!! :( But Chekhov is an excellent choice! Thanks for the advice!!! I'll look for the...

Hum, despite being portuguese, i don't know very well this spanish dramatist, but i've heard that he is one of the greatest playwriters of all times. Thanks! I'll take it into consideration!

WoW! A play by Brecht! Tha's a nice one! I've never read that play but Brecht is a great writer! Thanks! That's a very good option! :idea:

Hi! I need some advice! As a teacher, I have to choose a play (and work it out) to be feature on the next Xmas. In the previous years i've chosen :idea: Romeo and Juliet, Oedipus King and Faust (by...

Here are some international well-known books about Theory of Literature/CriticalTheory:

Roland Barthes, Writing Degree Zero (other books by this author may be also very helpful)
Bloom, Harold,...

Both books deal with the struggle of a man(boy) against adverse nature...yeah, they have lots of things in common... isn't the Tiger (Parker?) the same as Marlin? Even if the marlin is a much more...

The writing style doesn't worry me, i've read some French XX century writers (Nouveau Roman), James Joyce and others schizo-style-writers :D, I love odd stories, strange characters, amazing plots...

WOW! That is unusual!!

OK! Thank you guys, I think I'm going to buy "Choke"!

Sorry, I'm too dumb since I don´t remember any other source... maybe "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen has something to do with it... or not. :(

I read the book a long time ago (about 10 years... more or less), so I just remember the plot, not the symbols or themes. :( Still, try asking something and I'll see if I can answer.:p

I'm interested in reading one or two books by Palahniuk, but I'm still confused about which book(s) should I buy. Is there any suggestion by some Palahniuk' reader? Thanks.




P.s.: since I...

Well,this is a Theory of Literature problem, and it's not an easy one. In some books it's quite easy to distinguish the fact that there is one major character, someone who leads the plot and without...

Pygmalion, maybe, you have to be more specific, My Antonia, no way!:D

Can you name five translated books you've liked a lot? Name the book, the author and his home country!:yawnb:

1)Nausea, by Jean-Paul Sartre, France
2)The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck, USA
3)The...

Sparknotes is a really great site and,probably, all of these are studied there. I've read Pygmalion some time ago, but I still remember it was a very nice and easy book. I also read My Antonia and,...

No one lives enough to read enough, so I'll always feel that a bookshop is more like a graveyard of my despair than an idyllic place. Those who read a lot soon feel that they're not reading enough......

I can name some classics that I had to read with anger (some books I read because I'm stubborn):

- I'm sorry Virgil, but "Aeneid" is a very, very dry book... nothing to do with Homer's works (I...
