All I read by Garc�a Marquez was "A Hundred Years...", "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", "No one writes to the colonel", "The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother" and short stories. Soon I'll try to read "El Amor En Los Tiempos Del C�lera" in its original version. I hope I can make it!

"Blue dog eyes?". No, I haven't read it yet. Now I got curious. . . do you think I could find an online version of it, be it in Portuguese, English or Spanish?

| I really don�t know. You can search it in Spanish as "Ojos de perro azul". I think that it is a small group of short stories, but very good ones. |

I like "Frankstein" What I like about the book is that the createor abandoned Frankstein because he is so horrible. Then Frankstein was in his own. It was like a mother abandoned her new baby. It was like his mind completely blank but he had to find way to survive. You know what, actually, he was not a bad guy at all. He really had a good heart but people were afraid of him because he really looked like a monster. Oh, you should read his terrible story about himself when he told his creator on the first time they met. It was really good.
"Wuthering Height" was my favortite romantic book all time. What I like the book was Heacliffe was in love with Catherine(I think that was her name) Catherine cannot love Heacliffe because he was a poor man. Then Heaclieff went to America to make his fortune and came back. Yet he still loved Catherine. Even she died, he still loved her.
Oh, boy, the level of obsession with this woman is too great. |

Yeah, I loved "Pride and Prejudice", too. Elizabeth is such a strong character! If you would like to download a free audiobook of it, take a look at this website: www.librivox.org

Oh, I loved this book too! And to think that Mary Shelley wrote it because of a ghost-story writing contest among friends. . . I was very impressed by the story by the time I read it.

It was the first book I read in English. I enjoyed it a lot, too.

My most favourite book is (translated from German) "Physics for scientists and ingenieurs" by Paul A.Tipler and Gene Mosca. A very interesting book with 1388 pages. I'm not completely through it yet.
