Quando a morte conta uma história, você deve parar para ler. - Uma menina - Um acordeonista - Uns alemães fanáticos - Um lutador judeu - E uma porção de roubos “Uma pequena teoria - As pessoas só observam as cores do dia no começo e no fim, mas, para mim, está muito claro que o dia se funde através de uma multidão de matizes e entonações, a cada momento que passa. Uma só hora pode consistir em milhares de cores diferentes. Amarelos céreos, azuis borrifados de nuvens. Escuridões enevoadas.. .” Markus Zusak.

what is the best/worst book you've ever read?

My childhood love are the books by Tonke Dragt. She has created the strangest, most fascinating universes, always slightly unsettling but at the same time inviting, and wholly unique.

One book that will always have a special place in my heart is The Bookthief, by Markus Zusak, because that is the book that showed me I didn't have to be ashamed of my love for stories.

More recently, I was very impressed by Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami. It's a crazy, almost absurd, book, but I was immediatly caught in this confusing, magical world of his.

I also am a fan of Donna Tartt, who's meandering works have never failed to give me wonderful images and inspiration and insights.

“I am haunted by humans.”
