Title : Chronicle of a Death Foretold - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Book
Summary : The Vicario brothers announced their murderous intentions to everyone they encountered, and the rumor eventually alerted the entire village, except for Santiago Nasar. And yet, at dawn that morning, Santiago Nasar would be stabbed in his own doorway. Why could the crime not have been prevented? Some did nothing, believing it to be a simple drunken boast; others tried to act, but a complex tangle of setbacks and unforeseen events—often joyfully burlesque—and also the naivety or resentment and contradictory feelings of a population living in a closed tropical isolation, allowed and even facilitated the blind will of fate. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a hallucinatory novel in which the humor and imagination of the great Colombian writer, Nobel Prize winner for literature, are more unbridled than ever to create a new and brilliant fiction on the eternal themes of honor and fate.

Title : Any Resistance Would Be Futile - Jenny Colgan - Book
Summary : “She had thought she was in love before. She had been mistreated by men she desperately wanted and treated well by men she didn't. She had had a few comfortable and pleasant relationships, but they were nothing. Nothing compared to this blinding, all-consuming sensation, this extraordinary excitement.”
Connie, a mathematician, arrives at Cambridge, thinking she's been given a professorship. Some of her colleagues are there, who've been given the same promise. The Secret Service has actually gathered them to crack a mysterious code, and now they're under house arrest. Among them is a stranger who's behaving strangely... and that's saying something, for their small circle. Luke seems to know much more than they do about this code and even about life, the universe, and everything else. “I loved this book. It’s original, funny, and romantic. You don’t even need to be an expert in fractals!” Sophie Kinsella
“It's very rare that I fall so deeply in love with a book... Charming, intelligent, funny and moving.” Rowan Coleman

Summary : Michael Beard is well into his fifties. He's bald, plump, unattractive, and morally unimpressive. But he once won the Nobel Prize in Physics; since then, he's been resting on his laurels, endlessly retconning the same lectures, charging exorbitant fees. At the same time, he half-heartedly supports a government project on global warming. As for his private life, it also leaves something to be desired. An inveterate womanizer, Beard sees his fifth wife slip away from him. Just when he thought he no longer cared about her, he's consumed by jealousy. Soon, thanks to an accident, he thinks he's found a way to overcome his troubles, relaunch his career, while saving the planet from climate disaster. He's going to set off again around the world, starting with the North Pole... Through the misadventures of this narcissistic predator, incapable of restraint, Ian McEwan addresses the most current issues. And on these very serious subjects, he manages to make us laugh.
