In The Brothers Karamazov, and another time I was embarrassed with the narrative complexity, having to climb a few passages to remember events and characters (as would be perfect if there were books in Ctrl + F), the same happened to a lesser extent, in other romances Dost, The Idiot and Demons. Hundred Years of Solitude, García Márquez's also confused me a little because of the relative abundance of characters with the same name, from different generations, the tree genealogy of the Buendía.

23. Who is the most over rated writer alive today?
Não conheço assaz literatura contemporânea a ponto de poder indicar um escritor a meu ver subestimado (embora JK Rowling is snubbed by most of the critical intellectualism and academic), despite its great literary merits, but would suggest the Brazilian Joao Gilberto Noll as a writer who deserves more attention by the critics.

concluded this week Henry & June , meeting written situated between late 1931 and 32 in the journal of Anaïs Nin (the period during which she met the couple title taking his life and literary output marked by both him Henry Miller, a famous writer who lived a passionate and intriguing affair, the core of the narrative), of such quality and stylistic allegedly passing between the real facts and a little imagination, we might consider it, plus a daily fine literature.

Some Ancient History books I read in childhood, especially the publications of LIFE.
27. Best Mystery or Noir?
Several plots of the Queen of Crime (especially those starring Hercule Poirot), of which highlight Murder on the Orient Express and The Case of Ten darkies. The Hound of the Baskervilles , de Conan Doyle, também é show de bola pela estruturação narrativa e pela atmosfera, apesar de não achar o mistério tão intrigante (desvendei-o logo); Um Estudo em Vermelho é que intriga de fato, narra uma perturbadora história de vingança e através dela manipula os sentimentos de indignação e o senso de justiça do leitor (no lugar do personagem, você faria o mesmo?).
P. S.: Caso tenham dúvidas para traduzir as perguntas, ainda that attempt to deduce them from the answers, do not be shy that will clarify all.
