It’s always the right time to read. Perhaps it
turns out to be more difficult to cram in a reading if you’re cramming for
exams, but… it’s relaxing to be able to read whatever the mind craves for even
if it is for a few minutes.
So, what are we reading these days at
LCTIDIOMAS?
Let’s find out…

SULA
By Toni
Morrison
|
At its
center--a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first
sustains, then injures. Sula and Nel--both black, both smart, both poor,
raised in a small Ohio town--meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and
dreaming of princes.
Through their girlhood years they share everything--perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime--until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour...at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped. Sula leaps it and roams the cities of America for ten years. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying "upright, " helping out at church suppers, asking after folks--where you deal with evil by surviving it. |

LIFE OF PI
By Yann Martel
|
Life of Pi is a masterful and utterly original novel that
is at once the story of a young castaway who faces immeasurable hardships on
the high seas, and a meditation on religion, faith, art and life that is as
witty as it is profound. Using the threads of all of our best stories, Yann
Martel has woven a glorious spiritual adventure that makes us question what
it means to be alive, and to believe.

READY PLAYER ONE
By Ernest Cline

Like most
of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking
hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be
anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love
on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune--and remarkable power--to whoever can unlock them. |
