12th March Next Reading

THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
Chapter Two and Chapter Three

One of the most controversial and perverse characters in literature is not the young Dorian but the perverse and manipulative Lord Henry in my opinion. So clever that you will want to write down all his smoothtalk  and quote him but so ultimately destructive.

Paper back Book Exchange

Bring a book, take a book.


TAKE THE AFTERNOON OR MORNING OFF AND INDULGE IN THE PLEASURE OF FINDING A GOOD BOOK TO READ.

From the 25th to the 28th February come by La Biblioteca Central in San Sebastián de los Reyes.

There will be someone to make you feel at home and welcome.

Del 25 al 28 febrero celebramos el tercer Intercambio de libros de lectura. En principio se intercambian libros en inglés, pero también tenemos algunos en francés y alemán y, unos pocos dvds para llevar prestados o intercambiar.

Los libros estarán expuestos en la entrada de la biblioteca y habrá una persona para ayudaros en lo que podamos e informaros sobre esta asociación y las actividades que realizamos.

Queremos que todo el mundo se sienta a gusto y bienvenido.

Venid a disfrutar de pasar una mañana o tarde libre hojeando y buscando un buen libro de lectura.

Snow Patrol Live

 2013 European City of Culture, Derry/Londonderry, will host a  concert this evening which promises to be fantastic.

Beautiful quote that accompanies the Campari ad
