I don't think it's boring! It's a supposed to be a play and I find it funny once you get used to arcaic portuguese. ^^

And it's the "Aute of Hell's Boat (bark)". It's a play on humam morals, mostly from a conservative catholic point of view. Judgement of human steriotypes between heaven and hell with satirous comedy. ^__^ I studied it long ago, and the "The Lusíadas" and then "Mensagem", ect, ect, ect. Just some of the most important portuguese literature ever. "Lusíadas" has interesting parts if you know how to read it but "Mensagem" (12º grade stuff) is so freaking boring......

Anyway, I'm reading blood +, "Tourism as a form of Imperialism" and "Ecomics of New Age Tourist".

Well, I actually don't like this kind of book. XD
So I find it very boring. ¬¬'

Omg, a while ago students that would do college entrace exams had to read The Lusíadas (hahah it's weird to mix english and portuguese sometimes XD). But now we don't have to. ^^'
This year I have to read Iracema, Don Casmurro, A Cidade e as Serras, Sagarana, Poemas Completos de Alberto Caeiro, Vidas Secas, Memórias de Um Sargento de Milícias ... and I've already read O Auto da Barca do Inferno

XD Sounds like all sorts of fun....I just finished reading Ibsen's Ghosts Pretty interesting. Though, I don't fully understand the concept of Ghosts, I was sorta disappointed with his play. Though, so far, my favorite play by him is An Enemy of the People . Such a great play...

Well "Mesagem" and "Lusíadas" are also plays, but I hated "Mensagem".
Btw, Rin I thought "Lusíadas" was still obligatory reading for high school students in every portuguese speaking country...
And "Poemas Completos de Alberto Caeiro"? omg! I LOVE FERNANDO PESSOA...lol, seriously I love that poet (except for his work "Mensagem" like I already mentioned) and that book was what came in my portuguese college entrance exam XDDDD

Anyway I'm reading "Fernando Pessoa" a book that came out last year or the year before with some of his poems.
Also I need to find the rest od Blood +.

Can anyone tell me anything about "Twilight"? I'm considering reading that next.

Yeah, a few years ago, "Lusíadas" was obligatory reading for high school students. But it isn't anymore here.
I think "Poemas Completos de Alberto Caeiro" wasn't as bad as Iracema.
I think interesting that Fernando Pessoa created a lot of autors and they all had a life! XD

Twilight? By Stephanie Meyer? It's a pretty popular series in my store. I guess it's a vampire romance kinda thing ( I would ask Kibsy, she LOVES the series). In fact I hear there is a movie coming out based on the series. Also, I believe that "Breaking Dawn" is coming out in September. I already have some customers pre-ordering her book. After "Twilight" there is "New Moon" and "Eclipse" I don't like to read contemporary stuff...I like to stick to the classics.

Twilight and it's sequels are good. We did it for Book Group a last? October, and everyone was obsessed with it. It's good, it's a cute vampire romance. I like it because it's fluffy, but it's not drop everything else amazing.

Since I've finished with the Family Guy and Philosohy, I'm reading Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." I finished the first act last night, and plan to finish it by Sunday...XD Nyx recommended that I read/see it >.>
