"They´re just moments. They´re not life…" 2014#10

O melhor de Outubro?
A quantidade de caminhadas que realizei e o facto de ter tudo organizado na minha vida.

O pior de Outubro? 
O fantasma das coisas más.

Livro: Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover


Sinopse
When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future. 


They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. 

Hearts get infiltrated. 
Promises get broken. 
Rules get shattered. 
Love gets ugly.


Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Livro: Riviera Stories: Just Below the Surface by Debra Moffitt



Sinopse 
In Riviera Stories, award-winning author, Debra Moffitt portrays a dozen Riviera residents in search of something beyond wealth and glamour. A famous musician who’s lost the music in his soul and becomes a nobody to get it back; an American expat who lost her husband and goes looking for love in the wrong places; a Moroccan waiter at the Hôtel du Cap with big dreams and desires for one of the hotel’s guests; some Riviera commuters who are stopped by a roadside stripper, a camel, and a crash; and an islander whose lover is the sea. Mysteries open up as they all seek to find something that makes sense beyond the crazy, materialistic world around them. Riviera Stories spotlights Monaco’s playground of the rich and famous, Antibes' beaches and restaurants, and the lush mountains and perched villages beyond the coast and brings them to life.

Livro: Daqui a Nada by Rodrigo Guedes de Carvalho




Sinopse
Prémio Jovens Talentos da ONU 1992.

«O autor demonstra uma maturidade invulgar na apreciação de uma época, de uma geração e uma mentalidade não directamente vividas por ele próprio mas que, com a devida distância, consegue descrever de forma exemplar […] A escrita de "Daqui a Nada" é vigorosa sem ser agressiva, sensível sem ser lamechas, inteligente sem ser prepotente. Este livro é essencialmente um ajuste de contas com a História.»
Helena Vasconcelos, in Público


«O uso de técnicas variadas, a linguagem viva e coloquial, por vezes lírica, sempre que o espelho deforma ou transfigura a imagem, o cruzamento de reflexos entre o passado e o presente, o interesse que o leitor sente pelo desenvolvimento da história […] O livro lê-se num fôlego, é pequeno, intenso e muito bem construído.»
Maria Estela Guedes, in Diário de Notícias

Livro: A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter



Sinopse
"As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know," is how Reynolds Price (The New York Times) described this classic that has been a favorite of readers, both here and in Europe, for almost forty years. Set in provincial France in the 1960s, it is the intensely carnal story--part shocking reality, part feverish dream --of a love affair between a footloose Yale dropout and a young French girl. There is the seen and the unseen--and pages that burn with a rare intensity.



A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter

Filme: Las brujas de Zugarramurdi (2013)



É considerado um filme cómico.

Eu achei uma palhaçada. 
Ou o meu humor anda em baixo ou os espanhóis andam doidos.

Filme: Is Anybody There? (2008)

8/10

"Set in 1980s seaside England, this is the story of Edward, an unusual ten year old boy growing up in an old people's home run by his parents. Whilst his mother struggles to keep the family business afloat, and his father copes with the onset of mid-life crisis, Edward is busy tape-recording the elderly residents to try and discover what happens when they die. Increasingly obsessed with ghosts and the afterlife, Edward's is a rather lonely existence until he meets Clarence, the latest recruit to the home, a retired magician with a liberating streak of anarchy. Is Anybody There? tells the story of this odd couple - a boy and an old man - facing life together, with Edward learning to live in the moment and Clarence coming to terms with the past."  (retirado de imdb.com)



Impressionante.

Fantástico e a rever.

Filme: Begin Again (2013)



Simples e bastante musical. O filme ideal para uma tarde de fim-de-semana sem planos.
