Here's my wish:

I would like to tag Cidão and Liza

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cidão tagged me for a great meme (this one was created by Nando):

Choose 5 book authors that you absolutely love (your favourite) and 1 that should never leave the shelf (i.e. one that you detest).

My 5 authors are:

Eça de Queirós: a Portuguese novelist, the King of description; the prince of romance, and Sir Etiquette and Sophistication. His best novel: Os Maias (The Maias), a story of incest between two brothers who didn't know they were blood related.

Fernando Pessoa: a Portuguese poet; the Lord of multiple personality. He wrote under his own name, Alberto Caeiro (The Master of life), Álvaro de Campos (Sir engineering) and Ricardo Reis (The Pagan). I just love his work and his way of thinking. The greatest poet of all times. The Message is worthy of your attention!

Marion Zimmer Bradley: "The mists of Avalon" a classic! I like her books, I like the way she describes the life of the Celtics in the Pre and Post-Christian era. Politics, intrigue, manipulation, intelligence, magic, Priestesses and Druids...fantastic!

Freud: I am an absolute fan! Many say that he was crazy, but perhaps I am too; nevertheless I love his work and it makes plenty of sense to me.

Milan Kundera: I love this author. "The unbearable lightness of being" is absolutely fantastic - philosophy, politics, love, sex, despise, betrayal, jealousy, adultery, death...need I say more?

Now, the one that should never leave my shelf:

Robert Tocquet: this gentleman wrote about natural medicin and I can tell you that it was the worse book I have ever read - instead of providing information only it is highly judgemental, cynical and plain rubbish.

I would like to tag: Hanna (who is extremely intellectual and has extremely good taste); Lynda (a true artist) and Gigi (a strong activist mom).

Have fun!
