In this novel that today I make this BBF No. 12, do not I can go ahead of anything because the start in now as I write. Only I can say that the publisher sent me by the author and I hope I like it. It has all the earmarks of being a nice read of those who start and never loose until the finish. Of course now I'll tell you in detail, but in the meantime if you want to know what's going on, I leave the links of a couple of reviews from people who were very satisfied after reading. Review
These A WAVE WITH FLAVOR FISH Carrillo Nuria Riera. And this is the beginning ...
"I'm in the waiting room for heaven. Or what is the same: I'm waiting to board a plane, a quick trip round trip to the nearest airport for the sole purpose to see the clouds up close. And by the way, try to see my life from a distance. "Thousands of kilometers above suffice?
Mamen My name, I have 34, just commit the craziest of my life and yet, I can not scare me.
I open this file in a web of sound production, such as opening a document anyone who wants to browse. I am inspired the power that music has on us, on me.
I felt as if a giant stir me suddenly and without asking permission to touch my heart. In fact, there was a giant, invisible hand was soft, which has managed to find the door to disarm. At that moment, all my sensitive tissues together and make plans to fly to land impossible (or disadvantages) they do not understand that crap, they just want food. I am suddenly transported to the center of myself. Is it nice? Do not know. It is vital, but intense, too intense at times. Although sufficient to stop the music to be returning slowly to the periphery, preserving a sudden trip bittersweet.
We are a complex set of lights that turn on and off depending on many things ... There are areas that can be turned off for decades, even a lifetime. There are areas that perhaps have not ever seen. As there are lights that are turned off as you throw a shoe at a light bulb, desperate to erase that scene. (...) And what is not going to spend time with others, with the world if we do not handle or light box.
I do not want to end this entry through the gloom. One of the things there is going fine lighting a path that was hidden and caring for the landscape is revealed. And there are many hands that do not go alone to accompany the trip.

ORIGINAL TITLE: Il tempo che vorrei TRANSLATION: César Palma Hunt AUTHOR: Fabio Volo EDITORIAL: Plaza & Janes PAGES: 256 PRICE: € 16.90
BACK: A novel about a father and a son, a woman who can not forget, emotions and feelings are rarely expressed, that oozes tenderness, sympathy, authenticity on every page ... and a protagonist that we all recognize and with whom we can identify. A story about those little moments that define our lives, little lessons that we should not miss. Because it always is time to understand, forgive, fight, feel, thanks and love.
One afternoon is what I have gone on the novel by this author unknown to me and as you know I came home Surprise, by Random House Mondadori and Plaza & Janes. By the way Am I the only one that has received the blue hourglass? Is that I've only seen white on other blogs.
is the story of Lorenzo, a man of around forty, lives in Milan and is a successful publicist who triumphs in the professional field, but it seems that the personal things are not going so well. Lorenzo has decided it is time to recover to two very important him. The woman with whom he shared three years of his life and left him for not knowing how to love and his father, a man who never showed his love and to which a disease may be about to snatch it, but ... Is not it too late ?
it is quite true that one does not value what you have until you lose it and Lorenzo may have taken too long to try to retrieve a woman who is now about to marry another man. When she left she hurled at him did not know love. Is it too late? Has it really changed?
"... was right when he said that I did not love. Could not to do so. Who confused love with the adaptation. - is your greatest expression of love. In fact, these two things confused. When you adapt, you think you're loving. "
On the other hand, Lawrence has always missed his father show him affection, affection, a hug, just a word of approval, but grew up without all that and in my opinion is for this reason that their relationship failed. Lorenzo I think the adult, like his father over what he believed and now believes he has understood it all back in time.
The narrator of the whole story is Lorenzo himself. First person we will count your current life, but also travel with him, alternating chapters, two past, one farther where we talk about his childhood and relationship with his parents and another of his relationship with his former partner, for which no know the name until the last line of the book. For the reader, your name will be "she."
will see that Lorenzo has always lived to see how their parents had serious difficulties to move forward, constantly beset by debt, to meet deadlines, always touching the poverty line, but humble, too discrete conformist always trying not to upset or annoy anyone, always bowing their heads to creditors without ever raising his voice, and Lorenzo felt embarrassed at this lack of courage. Finally decided to leave school and help out the family business, but not only will talk about her family, will talk about his first love and especially of Robert, a neighbor who happens to be the "older brother" who never had and that opened the doors to the world of music, film and literature especially.
Their conversations I've loved. It is one of the parts of the book that I liked, because thanks to Roberto, Lorenzo loses the fear of reading. When you know Lorenzo believes that the only thing to get reading is a waste of time, but finally the words of Roberto if they manage to sink in it:
"... set in motion to read all your insights, imagination, emotions, feelings. It is an opening of the senses to the world, is a see and recognize things you own and if you read, you run the risk of losing. It helps us rediscover the soul of the hoes. Read used to find the right words to express those properly we need something. Used to describe it So before we resisted. [...] Also, reading is just beautiful. I sometimes when I finish a book, I feel satisfied, sated, satisfied, and experiment physical pleasure. "
And of course we will see how she met" her "and how was their relationship until it ended.
To me the book I liked it. Lorenzo I think it perfectly expresses their feelings past and present and really realize what he lost, but it is also true that sometimes there are opportunities to catch them when they occur, otherwise you will be another step on that car and to see if he can recover those two people, you have to read the book. If I have to choose, I prefer the story between father and son, I have received more. I could not help but feel sorry for this man, but I can come to understand. There are people who can not say with words what you feel, maybe they feel more comfortable showing it acts, the question is how to get to the other person's feelings.

Any "but"? Yes, two. One is called Nicola. It is a close friend of Lorenzo do not know if it's in the book to make, perhaps a nice point, but I have not particularly liked. As I was telling Eva in Review, has left me that knowledge as far as women are concerned and that "Tonite" in their talks, which at some point I sounded pretty ordinary. Two, the final chapter. I have not liked anything the turn makes the final scene of the book, yet I loved the end and left me very satisfied.
I think it's a story that immediately connects with the reader because it is easy to identify at some point with the protagonist's life. Although I have not read many reviews of the book, yes I have been reading the opinions and reflections of some readers, who are generally happy with the reading HERE
As for the time I want, because after much thought, I'll take my time today. Maybe not the best at this time, but it has been the worst. Remembering the past is well and best fun. Indeed there are to remember them forever. The bad, for that, are not as fun, but I do not think that should be forgotten because of all you learn and play around "I would go back knowing what I know today" is very dangerous and is wanting to play with advantage . Surely we would stop doing some things we did (at least me) and maybe that would change the life we \u200b\u200bhave today, so I said, I'm with my present and waiting time which are to come.
Universia is a collaborative network of universities created by the Banco Santander in 2000 to impose their views on higher education and university aims to adapt to market needs, or as they say, "bring to universities the business world. " This network is present in 23 Latin American countries and has presence in about 1169 universities. In Spain, the rectors of universities, as shareholders of Universia, meets every year at a General Meeting of Shareholders to decide on strategic plans to follow in the coming months.
In those days, a also the general assembly Emprendia Network (Red Iberoamericana University Business Incubation ") and a meeting of the International Advisory Council of Universia. Among others, will attend the general meeting Emilio Botin, Banco Santander presidende, Federico Gutiérrez-Solana, President of the Conference of Rectors of English Universities (CRUE), José Antonio Villasante Hill, director general of Santander Universities Global Division, and Jaume Pagés, CEO of Universia.
The decisions made behind the backs of society and the educational community are based on economic principles are not imposed on such far as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and of course the EU recently signed the Lisbon Treaty, which aims to make Europe the most competitive region in the world based on knowledge, as they call it: the knowledge society. So, blame the political entrepreneurs and international organizations complicit in making decisions that benefit the few over the population.
We can not let them get away with it, so we say:
that education does is commodified, THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS NOT THAT THE PRIVATIZATION AND FORMING PART OF IT, WE WILL NOT BE EXPLOITED. ARE NOT WELL RECEIVED OR OS OS WANT OR NEED.
