What are you reading?

Posted 03-27-2008 at 12:06 AM by Lesley D
I am just about finished reading a book which seems like it has taken me a life time to read. I think I experienced a mental block. I usually read a novel per month, however, this one has taken me three months to complete.

I can't wait to move on and sample some long standing novels I have on the shelf of my home library. I do have a selection of novels that I hope to read this year however, I also keep finding others that are of interest to me. The bottom line is I will always be...

Jaime Bayly- Peruvian, author and columnist

I started reading Jaime Bayly's novels by recommendation of some Peruvian friends. They themselves are not loyal fans of his work but I guess to show their patriotism when speaking of literature they would always say to me- tienes que probar algo de Bayly. Escribe muy bien. Well, when it comes to Spanish literature I am easily sold. The first book I read was No se lo digas a nadie. Quite controversial in the sense that Jaime B dared to touch the theme of homosexuality which is quite a controversial...
