Rated The Clasp 8/10

A bright and fast-reading novel, riffing on the famous French short story "The Necklace," about three friends who are really too far removed from college to be so co-dependent with their college friends. Takes a while to get going and you need a Curb-Your-Enthusiasm level of tolerance for people making bad decisions and pointlessly saying the wrong thing - there's a lot of cringing and it's a little tough to sympathize with the characters. However, it's very clever and funny and well-observed, lots of the great turns of phrase that have served Crosby well as an essayist, and once the plot catches momentum it's fun to see where it goes.

Rated Dom Casmurro 10/10

Rated Veronika Decide Morrer 10/10

Um livro semi autobiográfico de Paulo Coelho. Três são as personagens principais: Veronika, a que decidiu morrer, Mari e Eduard. <br/><br/>Não espere ação. São mais divagações das personagens.<br/><br/>No final da edição que li Paulo conta um pouco da sua história real de internações, que eu tinha conhecido através de um livro do falecido Ken Robinson.<br/><br/>É tocante a parte em que ele menciona Eduardo Suplicy. Aparentemente o livro inspirou um bom projeto de lei no passado.

Wants to read The Innocence of Father Brown: by G. K. Chesterton

Rated The Hunger of the Gods 9/10

Rated Turning Point: How to create a winning mindset 6/10

This is a book that mixes the basics of self-help literature (Emotional Intelligence, Action Plans, Smart Goals, and so one) with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). It has lots of activities, which is good. You should be ready to write a lot as you read the book. <br/><br/>One of the great things about self-help and productivity books are stories. This book has not many stories. No long story as the ones you can read in book by Cal Newport, for instance. I suggest that the author includes more stories in the next edition. That's the main weakness of this book for me.<br/><br/>But, if you like more abstract book, this one is full of content and it has some (24) references for the concepts it uses.
