Review: The English language

The English Language by David Crystal
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very interesting information is shown in the book. I will take another look at it in the future, but it surely is a recommendable book. If you love English check, you won't be disappointed.
Also is a book that may be a path to some discussion and further investigation.

The lying chimneys

Some fast passing,
Some standing still,
Light grey smoke,
The chimneys let go.

The darkened skies,
Show off again.
It lets us know,
How we are all, going to end.

In the fake spring noon,
Where we all fade,
The chimneys move,
They take no rest.

It's all obscure,
The night has come.
The sun secured,
Let them freeze out.

Review: Things Fall Apart

Todo se desmorona by Chinua Achebe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interesting book, I've read it because of the book club and, I must admit that it was quite an experience to see all the brutalities and shocking situations that, while compared to the society I live in, are atrocious in some cases. I highly recommend Things fall apart(original name) as it gets you through a whole different cultural background and characters that you may love and hate so deeply that you wish to crash the book against the wall.
