My diary - The reading goes on
Well, I have arrived at the half of my English book “The Giver”, the book that Baystateblue has suggested to me.
I’m very slow with the reading, because some words are difficult and I must translate them.
Fortunatly the book is amazing and I read it with pleasure.
Now, Jonas, the main character, have had his "Assignment": he is “the Receiver”, every day he has to go to an Old, named “the Giver” that give him the memory of the past.
You must know, that Jonas lives in a strange community where all is standardized, every minute of the people’s life is under control by Committee. The Committee of Elders assignes at all the people, when one become twelve years old, the job that it must do for the rest of his life.
Jonas is a special boy, he has special powers of intelligence, courage and integrity, but aboveall he has wisdom and predictive capacity.
The Community where he ha lived is very sad for me: there all is controlled and standard, no hill, no clima and no colors! How do it live in this Land? It’s terrible!
Well, peraphs next month I'll end this book and I could read another... Baystateblue, are you ready for a new suggestion?

Thank you, but an English book must be easy for me.... I cannot read it for years! The Giver (that is a book for teen agers) is taking me two months!
Bye.

Hi! Though I'm not Baystateblue, I could recommend you something...As I understand, you quite like antiutopias, right? In this case it would be useful to read "We" by E.Zamyatin - he is Russian but international author, very eminent. But, I should warn you - it will be a real challenge to read it in English!)
