Hi Leo thx 4 the podcast!!! I’ll send my comments later!!
Hi, Leo. I couldn’t use my computer yesterday. T_T thank you.
I’m gonna do today during breaktime.
Three months ago I read a book called “Lottery”, which I strongly recommend to people who are leaning English. It’s a novel wrote by Patricia Wood, who is a PhD. student at University of Hawaii, focusing on education, disability and diversity.
The book is about the nature of luck and chance. Its start off with a bang and then a lot of interesting things happens. I could relate to the characters, because I have a cousin in the similar situation. Even when I was in the subway or bus I couldn’t put it down. I really liked the ending! No wonder so many glowing recommendations!
I have never been somebody who likes so much reading, I prefer to go to the movies and watch there the film version, because I don’t enjoy imagining the story.
Although I don’t like, living in Toronto, the cold weather and without a lot to do, the last month I read the only book that I have read by myself. The book is named “The Analyst” by John Katzenbach, it is a glowing thriller.
The story starts off with a bang and I couldn’t put it down. It was the first time that I could finish a book, it was for the reason that all de sequence is exciting from the beginning to almost the end, just because the last part is a little bit inapprehensible, in my opinion the author couldn’t put the ending off, but I don’t care about that, the most important that is the story and the developing was great so I qualify the book as the greatest I ever read.
I won’t say that I can’t wait for the sequel, because is the kind of book that just must have one, but I really like to find another book in the same line of this one.
