    I know how it is when you come across a thing you disagree and then it takes longer to finish. With stories is different because the author takes you to the journey the reader decides to make when it starts reading the book. With this video, I've been confirmed what I was thinking: that Bill Gates reads books turning page after page, like any other human being! :-)

    Hi again. I purchased a Spanish book translated into English, entitled, One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the late author from South America. I am not enjoying it in English, I think it needs to be read in a Latin language to really get the flavor of it, however, I do not speak or read Spanish yet; so I think his other books I will get in French. My French is quite advanced.
