Author Comments:
These are my books in English.
oh my god, my mother had a bridge accross forever lying around her house and after skimming it I can tell you if I were book burning that would be numero uno... it's existence alone could make me hate the world.
I am not into book burning business much, but why in the world is it so bad? I read it ages ago but don't remember being particularly outraged :)
i don't bookburn either, and i don't hate the world(some would tell you I do)... it's just an example of the colorful way i illustrate my intense dislike for something... i just don't see how anyone could enjoy reading such ridiculous nonesense... the first and last paragraph really stand out specifically... the first is something about dragons and fairy tales really existing in all of us, and the last is about putting the couples supposedly sincere dream of changing the world on hold until after they buy their house and have a family, played off as cute and lovely... everything in the middle is just mushy nonesense, not to mention i detest all spiritualism, specially in the name of love, so when they decide they'll just never die so they can be in love forever, because hey "why isn't it a choice to die" as i believe he puts it, I really wanted to go out and kill some yuppie spiritualists(i guess it's not so colorful, but still slight exagerations).
I love Vargas LLosa, but you are missing on Nabokov and Hornby.
I have complete Nabokov but in Russian (here I am listing only books I have in English). As for Hornby, I read a couple of his books and got rid of them, maybe it is an irrational dislike but I don't think I will ever bother reading anything by him ever again.
