Just started reading Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott which I got an antique copy of today! I'm so excited not only to read the book but also because its one of the first (if not the first) edition of the novels publication!

I just finished Blinding Light by Paul Theroux and I almost burned the book. Have started on The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton and hoping that it is better.

 

[Escale Cherie II]

The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake.

It's actually a really interesting subject, 70s Paris & fashion, but it's very obvious you're reading non-fiction, which is so off-putting, given the subject's potential. There are some interesting insights here and there, but the author seems to have never heard of some punctuation rules. Especially the Comma Rule.

I've just finished reading Paulo Coelho's "Veronika Decides to Die": it's ok, but soooo much weaker than "The Alchemist". The end is really unfortunate and very predictable.

Feels like Coelho doesn't try to write a good book, he tries to teach you all the time. But his problem is that he's a poor teacher.
