I'm a GoodReads user testing new waters after the serious website changes. I mostly read fiction, usually Anglophone classics/ modern classics; I like nonfiction (mostly social and cultural history), good fantasy and graphic novels. For guilty pleasure, I read advice and how-to books.
I made at least two reading resolutions recently; 1. read less, live more; 2. read books which give me more pleasure. I have poor filters, and books I find stylistically pleasing tend to be depressing, so I need to do something about that; if you think you know a book that is very well written, but won't make me weep, please drop me a line.
The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own
Impractical and impracticeable outside the States (see shop addresses, specific tips, and represented brands, inaccessible or far more expensive in Europe). Other than that, it is a small, pretentious little book; more of an aspirational shopping list (enumerating iPod, BlackBerry and champagne as classy accessories) than a genuine "user's guide" to style (there are few tips on adapting the 'looks' to different silhouettes or lifestyles).Polish translation is rather rough around the edges.
