My favorite book is The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo. I really love Michael Morpurgo's works. And the two diaries books of Tiziano Ferro, cause I like to know more about the life of people I like or who I follow.
I basically love autobiography story, story based on reality or things really happened and diaries books and love story. I like also fantasy things, mostly if talk about dragons cause I love them.
I should read Call me by Your Name. I've bought this book with my sister and she already read it. She says that it's great and then she saw also the movie so I gotta read it.

So I finished at last the Southern Reach trilogy (Annihilation, etc). The book ended with lots of questions and I still don't know if I like or dislike endings open to interpretation.
Any recommendations for scifi books? I like it when it's a mystery and you don't know why things are happening in the beginning like in Stranger Things, Lost, Leftovers, Annihilation, Under The Dome, etc.

One of my favorite authors is Fritz Leiber. Love his writing style. You notice that he did his research and it never gets boring.
Love his books, short stories... Horror (and he was pretty much the frontrunner of modern horror), scifi, fantasy, satire... he was really such a genius.

I like to read biographies, history, true stories, essays and books about cities/countries I visit. For example I have one of Maori myths and legends that I LOVE. But I can’t read fiction. It bores me and I can’t get hooked on something that it’s made up. I don’t know.
I’m obsessed with the plane crash in the andes in 1972 with the rugby uruguayan players who had to eat their friends to survive and save themselves. Maybe it’s because it happened here. Maybe it’s because it could have been my dad. Maybe it’s because I have met some of them. I don’t know. But I’m obsessed with it since I was 8, so, my favourite books are the ones written by them.
There are a lot, but there is One called “La sociedad de la nieve” (Snow society) by Pablo vierci. And the other one is called “Tenia que sobrevivir” (I had to survive) which was written by Pablo vierci and Roberto Canessa (he was one of the 2 who walked across the andes)
I highley recommend them to everyone. They give you such a differebt perspective to life and how we solve problems.
Apart from those I LOVED Travis Barker’s book “can I say”
The stranger in the woods by Michael Finkel
The mother of all questions by Rebecca Solnit
Those are the ones that come to mind now.
And I’m currently reading “The subtle art of not giving a fuck” by Mark Manson
I am obsessed with books. Problem is I buy them a lot faster than I read them. I have like 35 I haven’t read yet. 😬
I have attention problems so I LOVE to read but I can’t concentrate, which makes it really hard and aometimes boring when i have to re read the last 5 pages because I got lost and didn’t understand a thing.
Most of the time if you ask me about a book. I can tell you what it meant to me and how I felt about it. But don’t ask me to tell you what it said. Because there is NO way I can. 🙁

I’m reading Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. The story is described so realistically that it seems to you that you are also now in Australia and watching the events. Every story of the main characters touches the soul and you are sincerely worried about them. It is an engaging story filled with murder and mystery. The idea is very interesting. On the first page, you will find out that the murder happened. But throughout the story, you have no idea who is the victim. At the same time, the genre cannot be called a detective story. A fascinating book about relationships.
