Today, 23rd April we celebrate the book day, a very important day for readers and  literature lovers.  

To celebrate this day, I'm going to ask you three questions that I want you to answer: 


1. Are you reading any book at the moment? Which one? Do you like it or not? 

2. What is your favourite book? Is there any book that has been important in your life? 

3. What is the worst book you have ever read? 


The books can be in Spanish, English, Valencian....any language!

    1. Why did you hate Crepúsculo?

      Eliminar
    2. Cause the story is too much unbelievable. Moreover, the characters and the dialogues are very simple.

  6. 1. Currently I’m reading “Mockingjay”, the third book of “The hunger games” trilogy. I enjoyed the fore books and I’m really excited about to conclude the story.
    2. I always remember “I am legend” by Richard Matheson like one of the best books I’ve ever read. And a lot of years after read it, watching the movie starred by Will Smith based on the novel was absolutely amazing.
    3. I hated with all my heart “El llibre de les besties”. A compulsory reading in the school written by a man that felt aversion towards women. Really? How someone can hate the most beautiful thing that exists. A person like that deserves to remain in the absolute oblivion.

  7. 1) Now I’m reading “A Song of Ice and Fire”. I started watching the TV series and definitely I love that world!
    2) It’s difficult to decide a favourite book. If i have to choose basing on the book history, maybe I choose Harry Potter, it was my infancy book. If I have to choose basing on the historycally importance, I choose “Manifesto of the Communist Party” of Karl Marx. That book changed the world!
    3) Mmmm… the worst book I have ever read… I think is “La Familia de Pascual Duarte”. On my opinion it was too boring.

  8. 1. Yes, I'm reading "El señor de las moscas". I'm goigng to read "Los 10 negritos" later.
    2. I think the best book that I have ever read is "La emperatriz de los etéreos (Laura Gallego)", but I really enjoyed "La Celestina" too.
    3. A book that I hate? I don't hate any book, but it's true that I couldn't read "El camino (Delibes)". I couldn't understand it.

    1. Rubén! glad to hear from you! Did you know that El señor de las Moscas (The Lord of the Flies) was a very very very important book for English literature? It was written by WILLIAM GOLDING and it caused impact at that time... do you know why?

      Eliminar
    2. No, I don't know why, can you tell me?

      Eliminar
    3. Cause at that time, it was a very good description of human values...I would say, one of the BEST descriptions of human nature. This book can be analysed from a philosophical point of view and it was very very famous. Movies were made after it and there have always been discussions about the topics of the story. Thanks for your interest Rubén

    1. Nowadays I'm reading "High Life, Low Life" by Alan Battersby

    2. My favourite book is "La hora del vampiro" by Stephen King

    3. The worst book?. I really wouldn't know what to say. I think you can get something good for everyone.

    And tell me Belén. What about your book?. Why we don't use that?. Sure it is better than ours and of course it is more updated.

    1. Hi Enrique!

      My book... do you mean the one I wrote for IT classes? It is in fact more updated, but it is for low level students. Your book corresponds to an intermediate level and it's much better for you to study with it.

      Do you like the one you're reading for the English class?

  13. 1. Are you reading any book at the moment? Which one? Do you like it or not?
    I am not, but my girlfriend've bought me one book I really want to read: "The Music of Silent Things". It's a prequel from "The King-killer chronicles" sagas writed by Patrick Rothfuss.

    2. What is your favourite book? Is there any book that has been important in your life?
    I would say The Lord Of The Rings (all of them), The King-killer chronicles (both of them, third one still hasn't come out)...

    3. What is the worst book you have ever read?
    Every book I read is because I know I will like it. I don't like to lose my time.

    1. Are you reading any book at the moment? Which one? Do you like it or not?

    At the moment I'm reading an online book called "Homestuck." It is currently being updated from time to time. Yes, it's quite funny.

    2. What is your favourite book? Is there any book that has been important in your life?

    My favourite book is Sebastian Darke, Prince of Fools and its sequel, Prince of Pirates, by Philip Caveney. It is an adventure novel I read when I was around eleven. The most important book in my life is "La emperatriz de los etéreos", by Laura Gallego. It inspired me to start reading novels when I was young. I think I read it at the age of eight or nine.

    3. What is the worst book you have ever read?

    I would say it is Notes from Underground, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It left me a bittersweet flavor. I have a love/hate relationship with that book. I think in a literary level it is a very remarkable psychologic novel. 'But', the personality of the protagonist got on my nerves. Nevertheless, I have to recommend the book since the literary quality is very high.
