Death with Interruptions by Samarago:
Unfortunately, I haven't moved an inch.
Living to Tell the Tale by Gabriel Garcia Marquez:
i'm currently at about the middle of the third chapter. The plot isn't chronological, it follows Marquez in the present moment which is the fifties and the second one is him being a child. The first one explores his relationship towards his friends, colleagues and writing. The second one is about his family, brothers and sisters, parents, aunts and uncles. Unfortunately, I had neglected it a bit as I was reading One Day, but i plan to get back to it as soon as possible.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas:
I've come to the part where Edmond has rewarded his friends and a thick plan to punish his enemies is just starting. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll be reading it any more. After all, I'm reading it for the second part and I'm losing interest. Some parts are just too naive, some are poorly written (or poorly translated, I can't tell the difference), some are too long without any reason. I remember I was bored by this part when I read it for the first time and that it did become more interesting soon enough, but I don't know whether I want to dedicate myself to reading a book of a thousand pages for a second time and not enjoy it.
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Cavino:
I started reading this book in the original Italian. At first I thought that the language might be a bit too much for me, but everything is going well so far. This is a postmodern piece that explores our connection to books, other readers and the meaning of it all. And plenty of other things. More on that later. Right now, I'll just say that I'm enjoying it immensely.
