Recommendation

Watching TV is sometimes fun, sometimes educational but very seldom both. I have found a very interesting series broadcasted by Sony channel called "American Dreams". The series deals with a typical American family in the 60´s and follows all the important events of the decade as the assassination of President Kennedy (the episode I watched)
As you will see in our syllabus that is very improtant decade in America and in the world, so this is a unique opportunity to have fun and entertainment at the same time we watch something that can help us study or reflect on what we have studied.

Saturdays 1 pm, Sony Channel.

David Lodge: Nice Work

In our syllabus of Language & Culture II, one of the set novels is Nice Work by David Lodge.
The BBC World Service has a site called "World Book Club" where you can hear authors talking about their work.
Among others like Hanif Kureishi talking about The Buddha of Suburbia, or Doris Lessing The Grass is Singing, there´s an audio of David Lodge reading and talking about his novel, Nice Work.Interesting for those who are preparing their final exam or for the ones who are going to attend the subject in 2009, but also for literature lovers in general. this is the link:
