The sonnets of Luís de Camões are complex and require concentration. They demand a good knowledge of grammar and style figures. Because of their complexity, they don't give us the delight that, for example, the sonnets of Florbela Espanca provide us. But trying to decipher the messages behind them is challenging.

Mindfulness: an eight-week plan for finding peace in a frantic world (Mindfullness: atenção plena [Portuguese])

After taking a Buddhist meditation course, reading this book became a little boring because I felt it was not adding anything new. In other words, putting meditation into practice is better than reading the book. However, I can not remove the merit of the authors because they have done their best to try to describe in words what only practice genuinely shows.

I have not read such a good book for a long time! Collen McCullough was, in fact, one of the best writers of recent times. From «the thorn birds» to this «bittersweet», rich historical novels with strong characters, well-detailed scenarios and very interesting plots. It was very good, very current. No one wastes time while reading this author.
