Books.

Hi.

Soft, textured pages often bring me something special to enjoy too, and I'm partial to the ivory yellow pages.
I've always had a soft spot for sci-fi and detective stories,  these are two of my recent favourites. Thank you for your sharing, hope your days is going well too.

Those books both sound great I will add them to my reading list. I like Goodreads. It's such a good site.

Do you have a fav book?

Thank you. Have a great night. 

Yes, goodreads provides a general view of what people think of the book, and sometimes authors are active on it, and I use it a lot to record and exchange views. How about you? How do you like to share your thoughts on books with people?
If I had to pick a favourite book, I think it would be a long list of about 50 books, so let's start with novels: Don Quixote, Carlos Fuentes' Our Land, McCullers' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Marquez' Love in the Time of Cholera, Bolaño's Distant Star.
If you have some interest in digital narratives, I also highly recommend the game Kentucky Route Zero, whose images add to the magical realism of the text. You can read new dialogue from it every time, and that just makes it become more complete and beautiful.
I really, really like these pieces. At a time when I felt alone and burdened, they helped me to regain a sense of pure hope, a firm presence and a clarity that stretches out infinitely. But I'm so busy with my studies these days that I rarely read novels anymore. Which books do you think you might read in the future? Or any short stories you'd recommend?

Now the gap's on my part Estrella as I missed this message.

I like magic realism too.

However my favourites are Russell Hoban (just some of his books) especially Turtle Diary.  And Primo Levi  - particularly The Periodic Table and some of his short stories.  I love the Periodic Table because he tells anecdotes about relatives and people he knew in Turin, and relates their human qualities to the properties of whichever element the chapter is named after.

I like Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolfe, I think partly because it's short!  My attention span is not what it once was.

I liked TIme's Arrow by Martin Amis - I do like thinking about time, and time-travel though I don't believe in it.

I also listen to an audio-Bible that has wonderful narrators like Michael York.  And non-fiction by people like CS Lewis and Fran Schaeffer.

Lately I've been reading some Katie Fforde for some fun 'chick-lit'.

That seems like an eclectic selection, and not much very recent!  

Indeed it is, Helen. 
I've been reading them since I discovered this literary style because I can get fully invested in the strange and incisive descriptions. They describe the reality they are experiencing and try to break the limits of the past through their descriptions. What about you, what do you like?
Sorry for the two week gap in replying, I just got my account back and it was nice chatting with you :)
