EL MEJOR HOMENAJE ES LEERLO «Dos años de tareas dominicales que prueban mi nula disposición a santificar las fiestas... Al releer estos artículos seguidos, me parece que he opinado demasiado». Estas palabras sirven de introducción a un Javier Marías insólito, cotidiano, atento a lo que ocurre a su alrededor y que atraviesa todos los estados de ánimo imaginables: lo vemos evocativo e indignado, a menudo pertido y bromista, pero también atribulado por la saña española que aún tiñe nuestro tiempo; melancólico, risueño, grave, irónico, compasivo o desengañado, siempre logra contagiarnos y no nos deja indiferentes con su Mano de sombra. Javier Marías es novelista hasta cuando opina, y cree que para decir tan sólo lo que ya piensa la época por nosotros, lo consabido, más vale callarse. Así, sus artículos no exponen nunca lo previsible, porque, a diferencia de tantos otros escritores, él reflexiona como si contara, y permite que asistamos al discurrir de ese pensamiento con tanta intriga como se asiste al desenvolvimiento de una historia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE BEST HOMAGE IS TO READ HIM"Two years of Sunday scribblings that prove my refusal to honor this day of rest... Upon rereading these articles, I wonder if maybe I've been too opinionated." These words are the perfect introduction to Javier Marías's unique style, his attention to the mundane and the world around him. This collection of his columns takes us through his many moods: provocative and indignant, cheeky and jocular, but genuinely pained by the enduring scars of Spanish history; melancholy, cheerful, grave, ironic, compassionate or disillusioned. Whatever the tone, they never leave us indifferent. Javier Marías the novelist is present even in his opinion pieces. When faced with the choice of spouting conventional wisdom or staying quiet, he preferred to say nothing at all. His articles are never predictable because, unlike other translators, he approached every text as the opportunity to tell a story. Seeing his thoughts evolve is as intriguing as the development of any plotline.

Short term rental starting point
Format: Kindle
Very concise explanation of what you would need to know to determine if you would want to “enter the game” and then help to do the next steps. Many people especially when interest rates were low thought STR would be an easy way to have passive income and long term investment BUT understanding the “game “ is crucial to making good decisions. This book can aide in those situations.

No ChatGPT free download
Format: Paperback
This is a great resource for learning things about your Airbnb listing and how to maximize your success, BUT if you are purchasing this book because you read in the Intro, "Elevate your hosting game with Chatgpt", please know the "free download" link/website shared does NOT exist/no longer works. I do wish I had realized that before purchasing.
