I just finished my first-ever novel in Spanish se llama "El niño con el pijama de rayas" (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas). It had a grand total of 217 pages but I literally spent a little over two weeks reading it. It was so different from reading in English where I could finish a book in a day if I didn't have anything else better to do. Here, however, it takes a lot of work for me to read. Maybe there's some merit, though, in taking time to read a book because I really enjoyed it and it was a completely different pace for me.
Speaking of the book, you should read it. It's about a friendship between two boys (one a German and the other a Polish Jew) in Germany during WWII. Definitely worth the two weeks.
P.S. In other news, I left the house this morning to walk to the bus stop, and when I turned the corner out of my street I almost ran straight into a bunch of cows standing at the side of the road!! I was so surprised that I stopped in my tracks and then, of course, burst out laughing. That might become one of my top memories EVER.

I've read it in English. And seen the movie, which made Ann and I cry buckets.
