Tonight is the first event for the new book, and I've spent most of the afternoon at home with curlers in my hair and cucumber circles on the eyes...

As many others, I read The Invitation from mouth-to-ear _well, mail-to-mail. I've always been eskeptical on New Age literature or Inner Child books, and I still am, as The Invitation is a true, honest work on self-knowing and sharing. Oriah Mountain Dreamer doesn't give obvious advices on General Issues, but her own _often painful experience of life, love and creativity.

That's good writing, nobody could say the opposite. Nevetheless, supercute Belle has an issue with her diary _you know that she knows that you know that it is a fake.
She does know that you do know she is a fake.
Maybe there is where her (his?) talent relays _ that in spite of it, in spite of every customer is nicer and richer and more handsome than the previous one, nevertheless you enjoy the reading. It would be my Erotica reading of the year, if not for all the marketing along, the show _now we have a cover version on air in Spain, and everything that has ripped off the freshness of this wicked, stiletto experiment.

The best of this reading is how the author fells in love with sweet Joan. You'll start reading a satiric novel about Churches' hypocrisies, and will end with a moving story about humble people making a life and a dignity on their own. Beautiful, just that.

It's almost obvious that someone wrote thinking about a soon-to-convert-to-movie story. Anyway, I've had in my hands a nice story about people close to me, happy, but not-go-lucky neighbours of my dear Ireland. If the motto of this novel is "simplify, dude", I'm buying it.

Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove
Aranzazu, August 18, 2008
Perfect combination between Marvel's Classic Heroes and Ellizabethan period.If there's anything better than the text, that is Isanove's covers. Delicious, indeed.
