The Invincible by Stanisław Lem

I was quite disappointed in this which is a shame as I normally like Lem. I'm well used to classic science fiction being rather weak on the characters, which is certainly the case here - there is really only one sort of fleshed out character, Rohan, ...more
La sombra del viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
"Después de varias lecturas en el último tiempo La Sombra del Viento fue un prueba más que la literatura te puede hacer sentir emociones, intriga y sensaciones. Que hay una belleza inexplicable que los libros te pueden hacer generar.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

One of the very few comedies from 100+ years ago that is still genuinely, laugh-out-loud funny. Interestingly, that's not really because you could call it "timeless" - on the contrary, it's very much rooted in its time through its satire of the Engli ...more

A thorough and comprehensive overview of the latest understanding of those most iconic of dinosaurs, the tyrannosaurs. From the general timeline over body shapes to behaviours, this book covers it all and gives you a solid understanding of what we cu ...more

I read this book first as a teenager and was absolutely in awe. The portrait of a man who's struggling to reconcile his conflicting personality aspects, seeing himself as both a solitary wolf and a man craving approval from bourgeois society, really ...more

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

Liked it but did not love it. The novel is beautifully written and the characters are all engaging, but up until the end it doesn't become a convincing whole. For most of the novel's first half, there is barely any plot, and while some of the differe ...more
