2, 22 y 42 para el ask de los libros <3

Hola Vivi! Gracias por el ask!!

2. what book are you currently reading

úQué fuerte que me hayas preguntado por el ask 2 voluntariamente tu también (gracias🥰)

Para no ser muy pesada porque ya he publicado la respuesta dos veces y tampoco es plan, te copio la versión resumida:

Estoy leyendo "Vox S.A.: El negocio del patriotismo español" de Miguel González. Tengo muchas opiniones, pero la voy a condensar en que es altamente interesante e informativo y al mismo tiempo muy accesible y fácil de leer. No lo he terminado aún, pero lo recomiendo muchísimo.

22: Pro or anti e-readers? Why?

Pro!!! Para empezar los libros físicos no se pueden piratear (sé que existen las biblios y las amo, pero llegan hasta donde llegan). Segundo, sabes que me cabe en mi riñonera o bolso de confianza cuando salgo de casa o tengo que pillar el transporte público? El libro electrónico! Pesa nada. Y tengo mil cosas descargadas para decidir que leer en cada momento según mi humor. Opciones infinitas, cosa que no puedo hacer con los libros físicos porque debería de cargar encima 5 o 6.

Puedes traerlo al mar o a la piscina sin temor de dañarlo. Las páginas de los libros no pueden decir lo mismo, se mojan muy rápido y ya nunca se recuperan. Y un largo etcétera. Mi ebook es mi mejor amigo, nunca falla y la batería nunca se descarga. He de decir que no es que no me gusten los libros físicos, los de bolsillo son especialmente mañosos, pero los libros electrónicos (o incluso el móvil en ocasiones desesperadas) son especialmente cómodos.

42: Which was the best book you had to read in school? Técnicamente la respuesta debería ser Marina de Carlos Ruíz Zafón porque fue una lectura obligatoria en el instituto y de todas ellas es la que más disfruté. Pero si me dejas voy a hacer trampa y a responder que para mí el mejor libro que leí fue Dos velas para el diablo de Laura Gallego. Es trampa porque no fue lectura obligatoria, el profe de castellano nos dio la opción de leer el libro que quisiéramos y hacer un trabajo y yo elegí ese por motivos obvios.

Sorry to barge in with unsolicited advice, but for that person that was considering reading aloud in Spanish, I second reading Neruda! I would also suggest Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, his Rimas y Leyendas is an excellent read. I also personally like Gabriel García Márquez and Carlos Ruíz Zafón (mostly the young adult stuff since that's the age I read him, but I did also love En la Sombra del Viento), and Jorge Luis Borges' short stories. Okay, that's all. Hope this wasn't annoying. Happy reading!

thank you! i will tag them in the replies :)

😁💘💫

Thank you for sending the questions – and sorry that I'm getting to them super late!

8. Favorite word in your target language

An ever-changing list, but these are some of my current favorites

English: abysmal

Spanish: yaguareté (jaguar)

French: flâner (to loiter)

German: das Gedächtnis (memory)

Portuguese: cara (Br. Pt., guy)

Greek: ψυχή (/psi'çi/, soul)

15. First book you read in your target language

English: Probably The Hungry Caterpillar or something like that 😂

Spanish: I think it was Carlos Ruíz Zafón's La sombra del viento.

French: Maaaaybe L'élégance du hérisson by Muriel Barbery.

German: Momo, by Michael Ende.

Portuguese: I think I've only ever read anthologies so far.

Greek: Still haven't read a whole book! I'm currently eyeing a couple of poetry collections.

26. Favourite pet name in your target language

My knowledge of pet names is virtually non-existent (I don't use them that much in my native language either, and even then I have a tendency to make them up 😂). The French "chou" will never not be funny, tho

Romani pročitani 2023. godine

OK. Potpuno nov teritorij. Dosad na PPP i nije napisan i objavljen ni jedan non-fic tekst. Mislim da je ovaj prvi, poprilično sam siguran. Godina je ovo u kojoj sam na GoodReadsu (planiram izbrisati račun) postavio cilj pročitati 8 romana (OK, knjiga, ali u mojem se mozgu to prevodi kao 8 romana). Tamo negdje, krajem 11. mjeseca, shvatio sam da sam trenutno bio na 7 pročitanih, nakon što sam se mjesecima borio s Thérèse Raquin, a Göstu Berlinga odlučio DNF-ati, jer nisam spreman za nastavak hrvanja s njim. I onda se dogodila eksplozija čitanja u prosincu, slična onoj u aprilu. Pa, zamislio sam ovo kao neku vrstu rangiranja knjiga koje sam pročitao, od najlošijeg čitateljskog iskustva ka najboljem:

Marko Vidojković - Đubre (title tells it all)

Émile Zola - Thérèse Raquin (mučno iskustvo probijanja kroz tekst s kojim se nisam suživio ni najmanje; neke stvari koje sam preskočio za vrijeme gimnazije i studija možda je bolje ostaviti u toj nekoj ropotarnici prošlih vremena; jedini zaključak je možda shvaćanje da je Thérèse kao lik sporedan u romanu nazvanom njezinim imenom; spada u sličnu kategoriju modeliranja ženskih likova poput onoga u Amettea)

Gertraud Klemm - Hippocampus (promašaj na osnovu kombinacije čitateljskih afiniteta i neadekvatnog blurba na zadnjoj korici)

Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451 (hmm, na osnovu dosadašnjih distopija, ova je bila jako lackluster, samo sam mehanički čitao i priča se događala bez da me ikako gotovo išta u njoj doticalo)

Jacques-Pierre Amette - Brechtova ljubavnica (objektivno, dobra knjiga; subjektivno, ne za mene - bojim se da je na onom skliskom terenu mojeg problematičnog gledanja (manjkave) obrade ženske psihologije kao nosećeg motiva teksta, ili sam ja bar to doživio kao motiv - loše obrađen)

M. L. Rio - If We were Villains (pročitao ponesen iskustvom slušanja audioknjige The Secret History, koja bi kao priča na ovom popisu bila navedena ranije, ovaj suvremeniji tekst smatram i boljim, osobno; djelomično i zbog rodne ravnopravnosti među likovima, čiji mi je izostanak u ranije odslušanoj priči zasmetao)

Goce Smilevski - Heloiza, Ili povratak riječi (sjećanje na čitanje ove knjige - ranije spomenuti aprilski spree - je to da je bilo vrlo ugodno čitati je i da je nisam baš ispuštao iz ruku tek tako; ipak, nakon čitanja napomene autora na kraju, dosta frustracije zbog tkanja fikcije u fakciju koliko god je to bilo moguće)

Milan Kundera - Polaganost (slično sa prethodnom, ali i sljedećom knjigom, nekako jedina misao koju imam vezanu uz ovaj romančić jest - uživanje u čitanju)

Susanne Clarke - Piranesi (jako čudno iskustvo u kojem sam uživao, mix misterije, psihologije (djelom i egzistencijalizma, odlično obrađenog kod Friedenhala, Zamjatina i Süskinda), magijskog realizma, liminalnih prostora i dark academie, što god ovo zadnje zapravo bilo - estetika toga nečeg DA mi se sviđa)

Meelis Friedenhal - Pčele (koliko me ispreplitanje fikcije i fakcije kod Smilevskog smetalo, toliko mi je ovdje prijalo - možda zbog forme, koja je kudikamo neopterećenije estetski; sve u svemu, jako dobra knjiga za koju sam mislio da ću je i bolje rangirati, dok nisam shvatio što sam još pročitao u prvom dijelu godine)

Carlos Ruíz Zafón - Labirint duhova (započet 2022.; što napisati još osim Zafón; iako, na listi njegovih knjiga, ne rangiram ga i dalje kao najbolji roman)

Jevgenij Zamjatin - MI (veličanstveno, avangardno, univerzalno relevantni humanizam)

Patrick Süskind - Golub (savršena završnica popraćena suzama; zbog prve knjige s popisa skoro sam plakao od muke, zbog ove sam doslovce plakao zbog katarze, a onda i zbog osobne muke - romančić koji mi je preporučen u sasvim pogrešno vrijeme i neizmjerno mi je drago što ga onomad nisam pročitao; sasvim različito od Parfema, a ponovno maestralno štivo)

Osim ovih romana, smatram da valja spomenuti i prve susrete s audioknjigama, kao i prvi grafički roman, a njih navodim kronološki:

Douglas Adams - Vodič kroz galaksiju za autostopere (bila je audioknjiga za šetnju u nemogućnosti fokusiranja na vizualno čitanje - blago razočaravajuće zbog hypea, priča koja je baš samo svoj sam početak)

Posy Simmonds - Tamara Drewe (simpatično, iako očekivah profiliranje debeljuškastog Glenna kao važnijeg lika no što je na kraju ispao)

Donna Tartt - The Secret History (moglo se to sve ispričati i na puno manje stranica / minuta; sličnog sam mišljenja i po pitanju Thérèse Raquin)
