    I have this crazy habit of creating lists for everything. Well. To be honest, I don’t think it’s crazy. It helps me get organized when nothing in this world is not well ordered.

    Creative Reading and Reading Like a Writer

    April 21, 2021 /

    In Reading Like A Writer, Francine Prose suggests that next you open up a novel, slow down, and savor every word to gain insight. Like I said in my Instagram post this morning, to make reading a more interesting and valuable experience, you should transform the words you read based on context and your personal experiences, being creative enough to identify and form ideas, theories, images, and feel what the author is trying to convey in a broader picture. Pay close attention to patterns, details in speech, dialogue, narration, and even the phrasing and word choice of individual sentences. At the same time, absorb and digest all that, to create…

    untranslatable words…

    March 12, 2021 /

    Everything’s connected somehow. This week, we talked about reading in other languages and the influence of foreign cultures in our countries. I also told you that MACUNAÍMA by Mario de Andrade is one of those books you can’t translate. There’s no equivalent to the words and even tones and sentence structures used in that book. You have to know Portuguese, and you have to know the Brazilian culture to understand the book. What I wrote on the blog about reading without a dictionary does not apply to this book, even for me. I’m a native speaker, and I didn’t know more words than usual there. That’s what makes it untranslatable.…

    Five benefits of reading you can enjoy for free and right now

    February 9, 2021 /

    At this very moment, your brain is accomplishing an amazing feat—reading. Your eyes scan the page in short spasmodic movements. Four or five times per second, your gaze stops just long enough to recognize one or two words. You are, of course, unaware of this jerky intake of information. Only the sounds and meanings of the words reach your conscious mind. — Stanislas Dehaene, in Reading in the Brain We don’t have to be aware of the science behind reading to understand what it does to us. Yesterday, I asked people on the bearded gram what benefits they found in reading. I’m gonna use their answers and some extra info…

    When you fall in love with reading

    January 14, 2021 /

    When does passion for reading becomes love for literature? When letters become scenes, and silhouettes become people. When you dive into stories, instead of just moving your fingers over ink. When ink becomes drawings, and the drawings start to move.
