One must wonder why exactly haven't most of them been transla ..read more

This year's edition has been fantastic! For those of you lucky enough to follow the voting process online from your university feed or from the Cambridge one, this year will be remembered for that clumsy guy who dropped his pen inside the ballot box.

According to most literary experts, the most romantic novel ever written is not Romeo and Juliet, as we could initially think. That story is more a tragedy than a romance. On the other hand we have a story about a couple of young kids living in an island and developing into adulthood together that is not only romantic, but very beautiful. It was made into a very popular movie in the 80s with Brooke Shields that had a further sequel with Mila Jovovich (The Fifth Element actress). It has a third movie made only a few years ago as a remake. Humans have always had a fascination for the type of lo ..read more

What we present you here are a selection of the best stories of Conan the Barbarian in official editions from different publishing comp ..read more

Our advice if you are looking for the best Spanish book to learn this language is that whatever you do, you follow a few simple steps that are strictly based on common sense: 1.

They recommend old books written last century... written decades ago actually. They do this because those books have the most units sold after being 30 years in the market and they want to profit piling up on those results. The people looking for a good ..read more
