The bitter taste.
About a week ago I finished reading a book called Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (the author of The Virgin Suicides) and enjoyed it so much I decided to dedicate it a post. This story is about a hermaphrodite named Calliope who is growing up as a girl until she/he reaches 14 and realizes she/he feels more like a boy rather than a girl. The narrator also talks widely about Cal´s Greek family so the reader understands the background of this special person.
Have any of your read this book? Did you like it?
"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974. . . My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent driver’s license...records my first name simply as Cal."
Asi pred týždňom som dočítala knihu s názvom "Hermafrodit" od Jeffrey Eugenides (autora Smrti panien) a páčila sa mi natoľko, že som sa jej rozhodla venovať príspevok. Tento príbeh je o hermafroditovi menom Calliope, ktorá vyrastá ako dievča až kým dosiahne 14 rokov a zistí, že sa cíti viac ako chlapec než dievča. Rozprávač taktiež podrobne opíše históriu gréckej rodiny, do ktorej sa Calliope narodila aby čitateľ pochopil pozadie tejto špeciálnej osoby.
Čítal niekto z vás túto knihu? Páčila sa vám?
Vienna.
Today, me and Claudia decided to go to Vienna. It was great, we´ve looked around the shops, eaten macarons and finished the day with delicious salads. I´ve got small blisters on my feet but it´s because we had to go by turbo speed when we were rushing back to the train station.
S Claudiou sme sa dnes rozhodli zájsť do Viedne. Bolo super, pokukali sme obchody, jedli makarónky a deň zakončili chutnými šalátmi. Mám menšie otlaky na nohách ale to len kvôli tomu, že sme museli nahodiť turbo rýchlosť keď sme sa ponáhľali na vlakovú stanicu.

The poll opened my eyes, I am not going to stop blogging. Yippee. The only problem I have to solve as soon as possible is getting my Iphone repaired and probably buying a new camera because neither of the two are working. I also wanted to thank you for the encouraging comments which you left me in the previous post :)
P.S. I am loving the weather right now!
Ten dotazník mi otvoril oči, neprestanem blogovať. Juchú. Jediný problém, ktorý musím čo najskôr vyriešiť je dať si opraviť Iphone a pravdepodobne kúpiť nový foťák lebo ani jedno ani druhé nefunguje. Tiež sa vám chcem poďakovať za povzbudzujúce komenty, ktoré ste mi nechali v minulom príspevku :)
P.S. Zbožňujem toto počasie!
please, excuse the quality of this picture but it´s better than nothing right?:D
