Dylan Dog


"Puedo leer la Biblia, Homero o Dylan Dog durante días y días sin aburrirme" dice Umberto Eco. Por mi cumpleaños me regalaron Mort Cinder de Oesterheld y Breccia. Y debo decir que Dylan Dog sigue siendo mi favorito. Compré dos tomos de sus cómics hace muchos años en un kiosco de Las Ramblas, no sé si sus historias siguen a la venta o no, pero si tenéis ocasión de leerle no dejéis pasar la oportunidad.

To kill a mockingbird / Matar a un ruiseñor

More than 10 years ago I read that To kill a mockingbird was Truman Capote's favourite novel. Last month was on sale at the bookstore so I got it. After reading it I need to recommend it to all of you. Do you remember reading books for school? Some of the books that made us read were for literature class, and those were boring because we couldn't understand them. But there were other classes where you could read for pleasure, I remember that there was a shelf full of books and as long as you wrote a little note about the book, you could choose as many as you wanted and the wants you wanted. All those books on the shelf made you think outside the box and ask you things..., I remember The 79 squares by Malcom J. Bosse. To kill a mocking bird is one of those books that you enjoy and after reading it you feel like you have learned a lot of things and that you have many things to improve and to think about. Plus it is really easy to read. I hope you enjoy it! By the way, can you make a recommendation of a book that you read in high-school?

Recordeu aquells llibres que ens feien llegir a l'escola o a l'institut i que ens canviaven la manera de veure el món? Matar a un ruiseñor hagués estat un d'ells si l'hagués llegit fa 10 anys. Un dels llibres que em van tenir més afecte en mi, va ser Demian de Herman Hesse o quan encara anava a l'escola Els 79 quadrats. Quin va ser el teu llibre?

Waking Life

I went to see Scanner Darkly today. I do not really want to talk about the movie right now but I would like to recommend you the previous movie from the same director. It is called Waking Life and if you video store has it you should rent it. It's a perfect fall movie! If you have seen it and you want to comment on it, please do so.

Avui he anat a veure Scanner Darkly. Si us ve de gust aneu-la a veure, però sobretot m'agradaria recomenar Waking Life, aquella si que era una passada de peli. si la tenen al vostre video no ho dubteu dues vegades! Si ja l'has vist i tens ganes de comentar alguna cosa, no dubtis a fer-ho.

Action Squad - Minneapolis Urban Adventurers

Action Squad
I wasn't going to post so soon but I need to show you this because what they are doing is really cool. They are the Minneapolis - St Paul Urban Adventurers and they go to abandoned buildings and explore. Great webpage, great pictures, great initiative! Isn't just awsome when somebody actually does something?

Si us plau, no deixeu que l'idioma us freni mirar aquesta pàgina. El que aquesta gent fa em sembla d'allò més interessant. Es dediquen a anar a edificis antics, entrar-hi i fer recerca de què era l'edifici. Troben coses super interessants! Una idea genial i que genial que algú la porti a terme! Action Squad
