B2.2 Book Choice by Jordi Gonzalez https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m Students' reading choice en-us 2022-01-26 22:48:56 UTC 2022-02-19 18:13:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4da.png Jordi's book choice https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2016312143 Hello there, students! Since you have to read a book this year, I guess I should give some example and do some reading myself. I've chosen "Choke", by Chuck Palahniuk (author of "Fight Club", among many others). It's been sitting on my shelf for quite some time and now I feel like reading something with that wry and grotesque sense of humor. I'm sure it will be a brilliant read!!]]> 2022-01-27 16:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2016312143 Francesc's book choice https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2019390247 The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, written by Rachel Joyce.
I am going to follow our teacher's footsteps As I am not the fastest one doing it, I started reading ending October. With regards to the book, this is an enigmatic story about a man, who must keep walking from one side to the country to another one, so as to save someone else's life, A feedback say; Gorgeously poignant novel of ¨hope¨and ¨transformation¨.
I hope to get on time.]]> 2022-01-29 18:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2019390247 https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2019758427 Hello everyone!
I chose this book to read because the woman in the library recomended it to me. I just recently started to read it, and I really like it. It is a mistery story that keeps you in tense page after page. Hope to end it quickly to find out how it all ends.]]> 2022-01-30 09:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2019758427 Daniel's book choice https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2024161181 Hi everybody!

I've read the book ‘The kite runner’ because a friend of mine, who is a big reader, had recommended it to me. This novel chronicles the story of Amir, who grew up in Afghanistan and was forced to leave his country with his father to start a new life in America. However, destiny had other plans for him. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Sadly, I have already returned the book to the library, so I can’t upload a picture.

(Albert's book choice) https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2024407894 Who doesn't know this book? This is one of the most famous stories of world literature. Although it's written in old English... the young Hamlet will surprise us and make us think and value many things! This is a gripping and poignant chronicle, full of enigmatic and chilling tales. Page by page I'm discovering that, many times, nothing is what it seems! Believe it or not, a ghost could come to open our eyes and tell us many secrets! ;)

Lots of "new" words, irrellevant stories and out of my  line.
The third one was "The Swallows of Kabul", a book where I found am interesting story about the close history.
The novel works on diferents levels. In the surface there is a chronicle played by a rather smal group of characters. They live in the darkest place we can imagine, This darknes suddenly appeared with the arriving of Taliban to the power in Afganistan.
People living there has to adapt to the new rules and this lugubrious setting freeze your blood. Live lose its value and differnts chilling situations get you into tears. Women' s life became a torture metaphorically and actually. They have to try betwen dead or zombi living.
Deeper in the book we can fing how humans react when taking absolut power. We can see how a group react when fear takes control, how easy is to manage and manipulate thousands of persons to do gloomy acts against other human beings ]]> 2022-02-02 08:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2024946603 Mariano's book choice https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2031339844 Hi there!

I am reading the book titled "A Window on the Universe" edited by Jennifer Basset and published by Oxford University Press. I am truly passionate about the Universe and everything that surrounds it. So initially this book piqued my interest. It is based on several short stories related to science fiction. However, I am realizing that it is a good book in terms of grammar and vocabulary rather than stories. They are not very believable and are too based on the typical aliens. In any case, I am still reading it.]]> 2022-02-06 11:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2031339844 Leire´s book choice https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2031783846 hi there!
Im going to read "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" because its a book about a topic  I am very interested in, autism. I have read almost half of it and I am really enjoying it. The plot its about how reality its percibed from the point of view of a teenager with autism. I recommend it to you! :-)
Cheers, Leire]]> 2022-02-06 19:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2031783846 Nagore's book choice nagoregarraldagonzalez https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2035097414 Hello everybody!
 
 I'm reading the book titled "And all for love" edited by Diane Mowat and Jennifer Bassett. I decided to read this book because I'm a huge fan of romantic narratives and the title caught my attention at the moment.
 This book is based on different short stories and experiences about love, like failed marriage or romance between friends or unknown people.
Furthermore, in my point of view,the book has a high level of vocabulary and sometimes is hard to follow correctly the plot. 
Anyway, I strongly recommend this kind of stories if you like romantic and a bit dramatic narratives. ]]> 2022-02-08 10:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jordigonzalez2/7wpc2wo990e96b4m/wish/2035097414
