Spare

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

And sometimes we read in bed. I just finished Prince Harry's memoir. It was great.

Middlemarch

This title includes introduction and notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury. 'Middlemarch' is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love. This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English life in the mid-nineteenth century. AUTHOR: Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880), better known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological insight. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes

Johansson conoció a Holden Caulfield de la novela por primera vez cuando era una preadolescente. "Él tenía una cualidad de búsqueda, y eso fue lo que me afectó", dice. "Ya sabes, alguien quien quiere la aceptación de sus compañeros pero que también los aleja". Al releer el debut de Salinger como adulto, Johansson se dio cuenta de la "sencillez de su escritura. Ahora puedo apreciar mejor la pureza de sus palabras".

Summer Crossing

Scarlett Johansson
Actriz
Esta novela es sobre una mujer joven que mantiene un romance condenado con el vigilante de un parking. A Johansson le encantó el retrato reflexivo que hizo Capote de "dos personas desesperadamente enamoradas de esa forma frenética del primer amor. Tal vez es porque Capote luchó con su propia identidad desde el principio y así desarrolló más perspectiva sobre el crecimiento".

Estaba en segundo o tercer grado cuando mi hermana me lo leyó. Recuerdo que, cuando terminó, insistí en que volviera a empezar", admite Johansson. El cuento infantil, un poco oscuro, sobre un carismático zorro, influyó en la elección de la carrera de Johansson. "Atribuyo mi amor por el teatro al hecho de haberla escuchado hacer las voces de todos los personajes.”
