I bought "Quicksilver" and I simply can't dig it. I found it quite unrealistic and pretentious, not achieving to convince of these facts actually taking place.
As for readings, I'm into "Fear's Anatomy" by José Antonio Marina, very interesting dissection of the very nature of fears, and I also bought the autobiographical "Quadern Gris" ("The Grey Notebook") by catalan author Josep Pla.
More to come...
