O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Ler um livro por dia? Seria possivel? - Nina Sankovitch

Sim! 
Nina Sankovitch conseguiu, como descobri em seu livro Tolstoy and the Purple Chair
O livro existe em edição brasileira, para quem desejar comprar: O Ano da Leitura Mágica (tradução de Paulo Polzonoff; Editora Leya, 2011; R$ 34,90; mas se pode comprar um pouco mais barato em inglês, embora tenha a questão do frete, que acabaria equalizando).


Abaixo sua lista, que retirei de seu blog ReadAllDay.org
