The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling.

Reading something written by J.K. Rowling and knowing that is not Harry Potter is weird.
The Casual Vacancy di J.K. Rowling.
Questo libro non é stato ancora tradotto in italiano perché l’Italia, insieme alla Polonia, é tra gli stati che *pirata* più libri più velocemente, quindi qui da noi uscirà da un po’.

Questo libro non è stato tradotto in italiano ragazze, mi dispiace!

Sogni di Robot di Isaac Asimov.
Piccola digressione: ho paura dei robot e degli alieni. Si, lo so è stupido -sappiamo tutti per che genere di libri è famoso Asimov, giusto?-  ma non lo faccio apposta, mi fanno paura e basta!
Dunque potreste chiedervi perché cavolo l’ho preso, giuro che avevo più di una buona ragione per farlo.
