What was the first book did you read in a foreign language?

I read some books called 'graded readers', but now it's time to start with a normal one.
I bought a few novels and others stuff at Amazon Kindle store, but I couldn't decide which one to start with.
Finally, my choice was Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Despite I'm just reading
the second chapter, I've learned a bunch of new vocabulary and the most important thing, I've been transported to the time when I was a child, and I saw the respective serial.
He always will be one of my idols because he conveyed so much passion in spreading his knowledge to the world.
When I finish it, I have three books on my list: 'White Teeth' by Zadie Smith, 'Snow Falling on Cedars' by David Guterson, and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. I don't know in which order I'm going to read them.ยด


And what about you?

When less notes are more in music When I was at school, I bought my first guitar. At that moment, my main influences were guitar players like Yngwie Malmsteen, Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine. I wanted to play like them, that is, playing very fast and for that, I used to practice for many hours. I used to use a metronome. First, I started to play very slow until I played a scale without errors. Then, I increase the speed a little bit, like 5 or 10 BPM, and I went back to practice. I did the same until a point where it was too much fast, and I made so many mistakes. The worst thing was that the metronome was still at a slow speed. It was very frustrating! The years passed and I've been begun to listen to different music. One day I listened to Pink Floyd, and I was fascinated! David Gilmour's solos were so melodic and enjoyable! Moreover, they were very easy to playing! I realized that the most important when you play is the feeling! Now, I don't care the speed. I just enjoy playing with my normal skills. That's enough for me. So thanks, David!

four years later, here I go again! ...Hello! Hi. My name is Alexis. I'm from Santiago, Chile. I was born in that town in 1987. I'm a computer engineer since 2009. I studied in Inacap. I'm working a company called STG, which is a logistic enterprise. My previous job just lasted four months and then, I moved to here. I love my career. It's fascinating can create applications to the web or smartphones. In my personal life, I like the south of my country. I traveled to cities like Punta Arenas, Coyhaique, Valdivia, Puerto Varas and Pucon, among others. They're beautiful cities, full of trees and nature. For example, Punta Arenas has a nicer weather than Santiago. That city is more comfortable than Santiago. Finally, the Punta Arenas traffic is more fluid than the metropolis. My main hobby is playing guitar. I played it since the school. I love to play some songs from metal and rock bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden or Megadeth. My other great hobby is reading books, especially the sci-fi ones. I think my favorite writer is Isaac Asimov. He wrote the Foundation saga, which I read in 3 months. Another favorite writer is Arthur C. Clarke. He wrote the famous Odyssey saga. That's enough for now!
