Juliet, Naked - Nick Hornby
Ahahaha!!!! AMEI, meu livro preferido até agora no ano (ok, retrospecto. Outros virão... risos. Mas este continua sendo muito especial). Com ele, fiz as pazes com Hornby, depois de muito tempo brigados, rs. Numa demonstração de coração, intuição e carinho, Pati trouxe o livro para mim de Amsterdam!!! E sem saber como eu gostava dele. Massa.
“I read enough fiction to know it’s detail that makes a story seem real..” (p.67).
“ ‘I’m telling you that my… art is inauthentic. Sorry. Let me rephrase that. I’m telling you my rock album is a fake bunch of crap.’
‘And you think that matters to me?’
‘I wouldn’t like it if I found out John Lee Hooker was a white accountant.’
‘Is he not?’
‘He’s dead.’
‘You see, this is all news to me. Anyway, what you’re saying is I’m an idiot.’
‘Huh? Where did that come from?’
‘Well, I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, and it still doesn’t feel to me as though I’ve emptied it. So I must be daft. It’s all just facts, isn’t it, as far as you’re concerned? It’s a rotten album, fact. And if I can’t grasp the facts, then that makes me stupid.’ ” (p. 202)
“‘Don’t knock people with passions’, said Ros. ‘Especially passions for the arts. They’re always the most interested people’
Everyone had succumbed to that particular myth, it seemed.” (p. 38)
“Forty-one minutes later, he was scrabbling around his pockets for something he could use as a handkerchief when a middle-aged woman came over and touched him on the arm.
‘Do you need someone to talk to?’ She said gently.
‘Oh. Thank you. No, no, I’m fine.’
He touched his face – he’d been crying harder than he’d realized.
‘You sure? You don’t look fine.’
‘No, really, I’ve just… I’ve just had a very intense emotional experience.’ He held out one of his iPod headphones, as if that would explain it. ‘On here.’
‘You’re crying about music?’
The woman looked at him as if he were some kind of pervert.
‘Well,’ said Duncan. ‘I’m not crying about it. I’m not sure that’s the right preposition.’
She shook her head and walked off.” (p. 28).

Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr.
Gostei não, muito não. Até parei no segundo. Começa tão legal, e depois, splash, afunda. E olha que para eu dizer isso...
Dark Lover - J. R. Ward
Bad, very bad. Harlekin novels sobre vampiros… Eu não consegui seguir na série - são seis livros. Acho que por ter lido júliasabrinabiancas suficientes para uma vida só, achei tudo muito bobo. Mas algumas pessoas têm curtido muito, e por isso já vale conferir (já está traduzido para o português).
Ink Exchange - Melissa Marr
A continuação do Wicked lovely. O livro em que desisti de vez da serie.
Airhead - Meg Cabot
Tentei ver Meg Cabot fora da mediadora. Deu não, acabei lendo em fastfoward.
The Forty Rules of Love - Elif Shafak
Esse livro encheu meu coração de alegria, esperança, paz, paciência e amor.
“The speed with which human relations materialized and dissipated amazed Ella more than ever, and yet she tried not to pass judgment on other people anymore. (…) She had discovered that once she accepted that she didn’t have to stress herself about things she had no control over, another self emerged from inside – one who was wiser, calmer, and far more sensible.” (p. 175).
“The past is an interpretation. The future is an illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead time moves through and within us, in endless spiral.
Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness.” (p.216).
“… not expecting much and at the same time feeling open to all possibilities.” (p. 325).
“Why do we have to fight everything?”Aziz wanted to know. “We’re always talking about fighting inflation, fighting AIDS, fighting cancer, fighting corruption, fighting terrorism, even fighting extra pounds… Don’t we have any other way of dealing with things?” (p. 326)..

A Bone to Pick - Charlaine Harris
(Aurora Tiegarten book – n. 2)
(Aurora Tiegarten book – n. 2)
Aurora não é tão surreal quanto a Sookie, mas é um personagem legal. Todos de suspense, já que a protagonista é viciada em histórias de crimes reais.
Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare - Darren Shan
(Cirque du Freak, 1)
(Cirque du Freak, 1)
São doze, tenho três, li um. Bom, a gente vai andando...
“Imagine: a real-life vampire! I used to believe they were real but then my parents and teachers convinced me they weren’t. So much for the wisdom of grown-ups!”(p. 110).

Simplesmente Complicado (It’s Complicated). Nancy Meyers, US, 2009. Com Deinha e Panis. Eu quero aquela cozinha!!!
O Amor Acontece (Love Happens). Brandon Camp, US/Canada/UK, 2009. As comédias românticas estão ficando menos absurdas... só não pode exagerar demais na seriedade e trazer lições cafonas de vida. Aí fica difícil.

Percy Jackson e o ladrão de raios - again, agora com a Marcelita.
O segredo de seus olhos (El Secreto de Sus Ojos). Juan José Campanella, Argentina/Espanha, 2009. Com Chris e Marta em 10/03. Perfeito. A vida em uma narrativa muito linda, forte, dolorida... chorei de raiva na cena do elevador. Lembranças (Remember-me). Allen Coulter, US, 2009. Vi no Embracine, em 12.03, duas vezes seguidas. Quando o filme acabou, fiquei tão abalada e surpresa, que saí, comprei um café e entrei para ver de novo. Não tinha gastado o filmes ainda. Ele me trouxe uma das histórias de que mais gosto em Degraus de Amélie.
Percy Jackson e o ladrão de raios pela terceira vez, agora com Marcela e Melissa.
Ilha do Medo (Shutter Island). Martin Scorsese, US, 2010. Juro que quase saí do filme no meio, mas resolvi esperar e valeu. O final é o que faz o filme.
