1000 novels everyone must read: the definitive list

Whenever I come across lists such as this one published in The Guardian, I get a little sad. So many good novels and so little time to read them. Take a look at the list and see if your favourite books have made to the top 1000.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I love to watch a film based on good stories. Even if it is just to compare and find the story much better than the director´s vision.

This story by Scott Fitzgerald is unforgettable. And, by the way, so is the film.

I´m back...Europeana is back!

The problem with blogs is that you must... keep them! After some time away, I´m back. Just like Europeana.

New Year, new stories!

It is quite easy to find classic stories online. Sometimes, I am even lucky enough to find an audio recording of them. However, it is a difficult task to find more contemporary stories to share with you. That is why a visit to the Short Story Website is a must for all those interested in reading new writers.

A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens´A Christmas Carol is an obligatory reading, and a very fitting one for this time of the year. You can also listen to the story´s audio version here.

Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2009!

Europeana

Have you heard about Europeana, Europe´s digital library? Well, the site was launched on 20 November, but due to its huge use - about 10 million hits an hour - the site was slowed down and closed until a more robust version can be launched. You can learn more about Europeana in this project website.
