it's not life that matters but the journey...

Yea, all the books were ggreat, i actually didnt read The Odyssey ~ it was kind of boring for me. Denisovich was written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I actually liked The house of spirits - a lot of students didnt - because its different - it has magic realism - and it was the first book we read like it, so it was like 'well this book makes no sense' ~ but i like all the crazy stuff that happend, so its a good read, you should give it a try!
Its a very well written book to bring in historical events, family, relationships, politics and romance ~ together with magic realism - it was really good.
