Florencia

I love writing, but apparently I don't have any talent, or I can't find it (if it's something you can find), so my dream of becoming a writer is just that. I'm a lawyer now (yup, no kidding).

Anyway, I love books, music, movies, pizza, lemon pie and people with good sense of humor.  If you don't have any, if you make Mary Bennet look funny, interesting and witty, or if you're a fanatic that's still not acquainted with the fact that people have their own personal taste and therefore, their own opinions about books, music, movies, etc., so you can't bear that another person dislikes your favorite book, song, movie, etc., then please don't talk to me. Let's save the awkwardness :)

Fábulas - Jean de La Fontaine This is one of my most precious memories of my childhood. Before going to school, sometimes after, I used to go to a nearby kiosk and buy some chocolates. But these chocolates weren't ordinary. They came wrapped with tiny books inside. With the fables of Jean de La Fontaine. That's one of my earliest independent contacts with literature that I can remember, so I really treasure those fables. I didn't know they were such classics of the 17th century. I found them entertaining so I started collecting them (since I've never liked chocolate that much, I used to give it to my friends :P ), and eventually, they led me to Aesop. Thanks to my grandma, actually, my GR back then. The Lion and the Mouse, The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Cat and the Mice, The Mice in Council, The Fox and the Grapes, and The Fox and the Stork, all favorites of mine. Damn, now I'm nostalgic. Ok. I hope you enjoy my "it has nothing to do with the book" review. I gave it 4 stars, at first, but now I'm a mix of books, images and nostalgia so, a big 5 it is.
