THE READER’S PLAYLIST (TAG)

PART A: BOOKS

1. Cassette = A classic that you love to read

Pride and prejudice (Jane Austen); I also enjoyed with The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas).

2. Rewind = Most shocking moment in a book

The end of The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco), when the two main charachters discover who is the murderer. I found the reason why he is murdering so shocking.

3. Vinyl Record = A book that had you in a spin, through sheer confusion!

Once I tried to read a book with very good reviews, but I found it so disgusting that I could not finish reading it. It was La sal de la vida (Françoise Heritier).

4. Repeat = A book/series you read over and over again

Usually I read a book just one time. Sometimes, I read a special one twice, but after a long time. A book I’ve read twice is, for example, Animal Farm (George Orwell).

5. Stop = A book/series that made you stop and think

I love when a book make me think. To name one, The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Muriel Barbery).

6. Broken Record  = A book that you have tried and tried to finish but just cannot

Ulisses, from James Joyce. I’m sorry, but I found it so boring… I just couldn’t keep reading… impossible. Maybe one day I’ll try again….

7. Shuffle = Books in a series/companion novels that you DIDN’T read in chronological order

The books from Camilla Läckberg; when I started the first I read, I didn’t know it was a series of books. Now I’ve started reading them from the first one.

8. Sheet Music = Books with endings that didn’t quite seem finished and require a (currently non-existent!) sequel 

Honestly, I can’t remember any book of this category now.

9. Play = Currently Reading

La isla de Alice, written by Daniel Sanchez Arevalo

10. CD Case = Favourite Book Blurb

Jo confesso , written by Jaume Cabré. I love this book. Another good one is Gegants de gel , by Joan Benesiu.

11. Artist Bio = Autobiography that you have read or want to read

I don’t read autobiographys. But maybe one day I’ll read about Salvador Dali.

12. Pop Music = A book that you loved that (deservedly) had a big hype around it

Any good book deserves it. I read Someday this pain will be useful to you (Peter Cameron)and I found it great, for example. If someday I write a book, I hope it will be good enough for having a big hype around it. 😉

13. Add To Queue = Your TBR 

Tons of books, I would like to have more time for just reading. To name just one: The haunted Bookshop , by Christopher Morley.
