August is usually a slow month in Lisbon. This year was no exception. People are on holidays, there’s almost no traffic, and the mood is much more relaxed. I got some sun, did some sports, got more involved with photography, and read a lot of course Here are the books I read in August 2010:

- The Elephant Vanishes, by Haruki Murakami
- Committed, by Elisabeth Gilbert
- Photo Nuts and Bolts: Know Your Camera and Take Better Photos, by Neil Creek
- Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
- On Chesil Beach, by Ian McEwan
- The Essential Guide to Portrait Photography

Books read in July 2010

Last month I had a couple of weeks off. I had a chance to be in the Algarve for 10 days, where I rested, hit the beach and the pool, and read a lot. I would have read more, if the Larsson books (great reads, btw) hadn’t been over 600 and 700 pages long respectively Maybe this month I will choose shorter ones…

Here are the books I read in July 2010:
- The Wild Things, by Dave Eggers
- The Girl Who Played with Fire, by Stieg Larsson
- Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert
- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest, by Stieg Larsson
