Books and Thoughts I read so many books during a year, twelve or so, because I work far from my work and then I have many time to read. The last one was "Mulheres sem nome" in portuguese, in english "Lilac girls" and searching for the name in english I just notice that they dont have any connection... The fact is that the last three books I read was about World War II: The Diary of Anne Frank, Lilac Girls, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and I was thinking about Europe and how, in all these books, people who have died in war, in concentration camps or in batle, they speak more than one language and they can survive more time, maybe because of this, because they could comunicate with other people and understand some of what happens... I, however, speak only my native language, portuguese, whose not used in more than five countrys. I live in a country where people dont learn another language without spent a lot of money, and I, probably would die if I need to understand people speaking in another language... You know, only some thoughts passing in my mind.
