Reading Project - Presentation II

The last presentations have been really nice and interesting. Like the others, some caught attention, some... not really.

I must highlight the ones that interested me more because I have this thing that, when I get confused by some reason, I don't understand what is being said and even if I listen and listen, something is lost. And, being completely honest, some just didn't caught my attention by the way they were exposed. However, that is another question.

So, highliting. Until now (since I believe there is one missing and I skiped one, if I'm not mistaken) and excluding the ones I already mentioned: Sara's presentation about The Doors of Perception, Bernard0's about The Heart of Darkness, the War and Peace presentation by Joana and today's Alice in Wonderland, by Tiago.

Very briefly:

Firstly, I had already said that I was curious about Sara's presentation and book and now I'm even more curiose.

These are the kind of books I enjoy, the ones that make me think about something deeper and more than the actual story.

In these presentations, thet feature was by some means highlighted. Or, at least, these were the ones that by the story caught me more and, by coincidence, had this feature.

That's why I enjoyed Bernardo's presentation too.

Well, I must confess that Apocalypse Now is one of my favourite movies and knowing there was a book which inspired it it was a impossible for me not to be interested. Bernardo showed as how both relate, although I just think the plot was too much explored. I know it is a very rich story, but details can be spared. At least for me; I like to know a summary of the plot, so I can discover the rest by myself. Nevertheless, he could show us how rich that book is and compell us to read it.

In the same line appeared War and Peace and Alice in Wonderland.

Both are classics, real classics, that are known by everyone and worshiped arround the world. They showed us why.

War and Peace needs no more words, but my idea of Alice... was a story for children, like the one Disney shows us. Now, I see that there might me much more than that, and it pleases me. I am a fan of Alice... and never saw how much it had to say. Now I am starting to see with other eyes...

About the presentations, both were good and showed us the book and all it is about.

So, summing up: good presentations, good book, bad for my books-to-read list!
