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

"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. (...)

The time it would (Fabio Volo) Purchases of Sant Jordi
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.
Fabio Volo
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.

Comment
there better (if you want, well, if not necessary) to promote discussion.
Before resuming the BBF section on Fridays I bring you a post about books.
During this Easter I decided to read without taking notes, unmarked pages, no thought then was to review the books and in fact I will not do. I acknowledge that I have read and relaxed and already missed him, but I will leave the evaluation of the books, so that at least give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhether I liked or not. These are my readings from 15 to 24 April. I think that has not been too bad.
The white gardenia Shanghai (Belinda Alexandra) Pages: 608 Rating: (4 Worms)
A nice story tinged with romantic, but starting with an episode that occurred during the Second World War is not unusual to find in a novel, the arrival in China of Russians who fled their country during the Bolshevik Revolution settled there. In particular this is the story of Anya Kozlova, how, when only 13 years, is separated from her mother, who is sent to a labor camp in Siberia, and how they can survive and function in life, always thinking Back to encounter her again.
A story that will pass along 25 years and that will take us from the magnificent Shanghai to Australia the hand of a protagonist who will mature in a rush and save all sorts of obstacles. Find his mother at all costs and reunited with her will be the ultimate goal of your life. Will be at the top of society in Shanghai, the most terrible misery. On his way he will cross many interesting characters, find love, heartbreak, good friends and some worse, but all learn and become a fighter, outspoken, and worker know to get ahead in life.
If I decide to stay (Gayle Forman) Pages: 192
Rating: (3 Little worms)
Well, a juvenile history is not bad, is read from flip, but I have not contributed much. The story of a teenager who suffers an accident and while in coma should consider whether it is in this world after all that has been lost in this accident and would rather die. I did not find particularly original, is rather predictable and I think it has a slightly peliculero final.
I certainly would not have ended well, but of course I have in mind that the protagonist of this book is 17 years old and not my 40.
The green gel pen (Eloy Moreno) Pages: 304
Rating: (3.5 worms)
Finally, I read the famous green pen. Anda is not what the author seems worthy, just for this effort has shown confidence in his work had to read it. The "sustraje" house of my sister and I read it in one of these rainy afternoons I think almost everyone has had during those days.
certainly understand the success it has received. Neck bet that any reader will feel identified in any of the pages of this book but I did not like as much as expected. The protagonist has managed to catch it near the depression. A little more fussy. I would like to give it a few wiggles to savvy on more than one occasion. The truth is I do not know how to describe this novel. Although I love to read realistic stories from time to time generally prefer stories that make me switch from day to day and it made me go looking for people on the street thinking how many people will not like the nameless protagonist of this book. I recognize myself have felt many times as he and have been wanting to send everything to hell, just that I chose to talk to who should do not like him. I hate to find myself in a book with things I do not like or did not like my own life, but I understand it's a story that makes you reflect and think, even if the end I did not like too, it seemed too fast and sorry, but not credible.
Living the Five Towns (Susana Hernández Sánchez) Pages: 60 Rating: (4 Little worms) Susana know
that poetry is not my thing. Just do not usually understand it, I prefer to tell a story or a feeling in prose. Yet he was kind enough to send me a copy of his poems and he promised he would understand. Not only do I understand perfectly, but with this novel I have known a little more personally, because they reflect the love he feels for his homeland, the place where he decided to live "Five Towns" and theirs.
I particularly liked several. The entitled "Fire" the summer because it reminded me that we burned half Galicia and how he saw ashes falling on my house, I loved especially dedicated to his daughter "Live You" and moved me the entitled "Lives blown apart in Atocha," and I imaginareis why.
Thanks Susan, for though the poetry still not be my favorite genre, you get that from the readings of this year has a book of poems I have read it twice, and also (and I mean that sincerely) ; I liked. A big kiss for you (and yours).
The city del Azahar (César Vidal) Pages: 768 Rating: (4 Little worms) did not know what to expect from this novel. My brothers gave me last year for my birthday, but created some discord because my brother chose it and apparently my sister, the author falls pretty bad. I know the author to see him in passing in a program and do I like good or evil, but because when I read what interests me is that the story I like, I thanked the gift and after reading it I have to say it is a very interesting novel that I liked it. I thought it might be written in a style somewhat heavy reading, but quite the opposite. It's Qmar story of a Muslim woman born in Baghdad with a "terrible flaws." He has light hair like his eyes, something he constantly reproach and to top it is also left-handed. Qmar learn to play the lute by Musa, her music teacher and travel to Al-Andalus in search of one of five strings. On his journey he will live many experiences, not all pleasant, know firsthand the complicated coexistence between Islam and Christianity and see how despite having been specifically educated in Islam, reading a book that gives the teacher Musa Qmar will see that there is another religion and that perhaps "communes" more. be highlighted reflections that makes the protagonist at the beginning of each chapter. I liked a lot. Only two "buts." The book has a glossary at the end of more than 180 words is not comfortable when reading in a book so fat and an index of over 80 characters with those names so convoluted that I have done a little slower reading. Vote for editing these books with a special bookmark which appear glossaries or indexes of characters, not having to walk back and forth constantly. A can of truth. Otherwise, I think the novel is very well documented, that will appeal to lovers of historical novels and maybe not so much someone educated in Islam, but you can never please everyone!
The time it would Page: 256 Rating: (4.5 Little worms) realistic Another story you know I came by surprise and I liked it a lot more than the pen. This will review because they were so kind to send it to me and probably hang on Wednesday. On Monday I book to teach the purchase of Sant Jordi.
And this is all I had time to read my mini-vacation blogging.
had already blogka aguadísimo. I've put a few cubes and have completed Adhatoda. Chilled, yes sir, now comes the heat (arremójate the gut).
Blogka With my ice again in the hand (I hope it lasts and I shot him today, here and now) provides a wonder of song. A poem music becomes magic. The climb for two reasons:
1 - M ª José Hernández is probably the best singer of Aragon, and his voice fills, fills the ear. 2 - If you add Labordeta, is a beautiful duet, which is almost ridiculously perfect. And

Today has arrived, spring this colorful award for the blog part of Rosalie's blog What I read and I have to pass it to the last nine people who have commented on the blog.
I'll hang the name of 10 because one of them I seem to have no blog. I know you have many already (if not all), but this time it was not difficult to see who they played.
And since I am and as I've seen that during Holy Week was hanging around some blogs a very literary Meme called "Take your book , I felt like adjudicármelo and play.
consists of taking the book to have close, open to page 89, find the 5th sentence and write it on the blog, so let it go.
The book that I have more closely because it is the one I'm reading is titled "The mark of a kiss" of Daniel Glattauer and the phrase that corresponds to this Meme and you not going to believe what but it's just where I, is:
Because what used to be cooked Beate not to eat much.
I think it is 9. From my house I hear the Angelus and inevitably reminds me of a story. My father said that in his village there was a lady that every time it crossed was held at the same dialogue: - Do you still play? - she asked. - If you still play it. - Ah! Be bastards. The lady went on his way, and my father, his. That lady heard the Angelus three times a day that put him here in Zaragoza, from the women's prison. That woman is already dead, and I remember her every time I hear that song creepy. That glorious song, that song that survives to those who were forced to recite it from misery, horror and hunger. No sir, no. It is not acceptable in the name of peace this woman, this and many others!, have died without anyone ever gave you the opportunity to tell their story. Spain's history, you say when you want to remove the tributes to those who caused the horror, and lack of respect alegáis when we want a simple praise or a hug to those who do not bowed their heads, thinking of his own freedom, but also in ours. Disrespect, you repeat, when we give the bones a decent soil in which to settle. But how can you be so hypocritical. How injustice can not hurt you at gunpoint over the culture, equality and freedom. Ours. Our culture, our equality, our freedom. Oh no ... I is not going to steal memory.
TITLE: Point of fission AUTHOR: David Torres EDITORIAL : Algaida
ISBN: 978-84-9877-568-6 PAG: 372
PRICE: 20 €
SYNOPSIS: "The stories are with pieces of other stories. " Like the Frankenstein monster, the tattooed body of Julia or the propeller of the genetic code, this book is made from fragments of different stories that are joined together to collect new life. four seemingly unrelated stories are twisted together in a bold counterpoint until eventually all lead to one story, a wonderful tribute to literature and the blind impulse to narrate.
25 years ago today, the horrible accident of Chernobyl and coinciding with this date (and by chance) I bring you the review of a book in which this disaster is very present. As I finished putting up with some things and probably today as I run out of internet hours, I leave the review of this book which was the last I read before making Paradita blogger and I liked it.
The truth is that I'm not buying those books to hit "home" but I recognize that a striking and beautiful helps me lift the table of art in any bookstore, and if I have to be honest, I do not know if I had leafed through the novel if not come to me to be sent from the publisher. As I mentioned in BBF # 11, he had not ordered but was the winner of IV Novel Award Logroño and had just "come out the oven "and from Algaida were kind enough to send me a copy. Now, once finished reading I have to confess that I liked a lot more than I had chosen.
I take my hat off to this book that has been the most original and strange that I have read this year.
The novel begins with the story of Sergei, a child who survived the tragedy of Chernobyl, but is used by Boris, a Ukrainian mafia is to recover objects and memories of people who lived in Pripyat (the town closest to the nuclear power plant) and uses it to children who know the environment. In fact the history of Sergie is a novel written by him we read it and sandwiched between three other stories.
On the one hand we have Matas, a publisher that a blunder puts his world upside down overnight. The cast of the work (for alleged harassment of Julia, a co-worker) and home (for alleged infidelity) and ends up living with Domingo, a paralytic, is dedicated to writing reviews of porn movies and having a terrible, funny black comedy.
Then there is Leonardo Zubiri. The poor has fallen by lightning and without having ever read a book, suddenly is given by reading everything that is around and write strange stories, using as inspiration anything given the same base a character in a Playboy "Playboy" that Franco himself and turn it into "Frankonstein" through organ transplants that he get "hunting" for the poor suckers in the Pardo. The same extracts ideas of an encyclopedia than a novel Jasmine. Do not know why or for whom he writes, but once you get to edit it succeeds dramatically.
And finally we have the police inspector Rodríguez. Take a poet inside and composes sonnets sometimes read aloud in a den of Lavapiés called The Cave. The case we are dealing with is to find out who is behind the attacks that have suffered Cibeles (a which have flown the head) and the statue of Neptune (which has lost the nose). The clues are pointing to Pichy ( Chulapos Independence Party And? )
David Torres Ruiz
Clearly
the book, says the cover, is a history made of other stories. I swear that when I had read a chapter on each of these four stories, not just catch him, much less point just to make sense, but he never lost for me was the pace, so I kept reading and I suddenly found myself with some stories that even though you know that at some point will come together, or at least I hope, I did not come that does not happen because they all interest me equally.
Sergei's story is especially hard, perhaps because they are real, or at least be based on facts that did happen, is what made me be more serious at the time to read, he visited a ghost town days, weeks , months after the disaster and see the devastation and horror that became everything and the terrible effects of this disaster caused among the population, but ... this book I also have started a few laughs when he least expected and the mood that permeates the pages helps to balance or soften the hardest moments. I would like to transcribe some of the things that hiceron me laugh but I know learned from context would not be the same and it is best to find those moments as you read. Humor, love, terrorism, literature, porn ... finally! many ingredients, but all in perspective to develop a cocktail in my opinion great.
I really liked how you write the author, his imagination at the time of writing this master puzzle and how to weave all the stories. Structure Thus a novel and get it then everything clicks into place always seemed too complicated. Suddenly everything makes sense, characters that seemed to never be found found the right time to do so. It was a novel that has been gaining pace as I went to merge into a single narrative line and get to that amazing final.
I think it was a bold gamble to write this story, and I'm glad a lot of reading it because as I said earlier, might not have called my attention too, if you do not get to send me.
And despite all this, I do not know if a novel can be recommended to anyone. Maybe so strange that is, in principle that composition disordered by these somewhat fanciful and surreal stories, mixed with the one at Chernobyl in the background. In any case, I do not leave anyone indifferent, and I think it can be a very interesting book to break with normal readings.
You can watch a brief comment of the author and Fernando Marías about the book, and like the latter I also think that is worth reading.
Mother, but how much you have worked during Holy Week ha ha!

"Sometimes, I am. I fear the people my age. Kill each other. Have you always been this way? My uncle says no. Only in the last year, six of my classmates have been shot dead. Ten others have died in a car accident. I'm afraid and they do not want me for this reason. My uncle says his grandfather remembered when children are killing each other. But that long ago when everything was different. My uncle says he believed in the responsibility. Must know that I am responsible. Years ago, when he deserved it, I was beaten.
