    Who took my cheese? "The answer will always be a mystery. The only person who knew what happened to the cheese that the characters in this popular book ate was its author, Spencer Johnson.

    "The first thing they always did was run you. When gig league SCOUTS road-tested a group of elite amateur prospects, foot speed was the first item they checked of their lists. The scouts actually carried around checklists. "Tools" is what they called the talents they were checking for in a kid. There were five tools: the abilities to run, throw, field, hit, and hit with power."

    Chapter 1 "Moneyball" of Michael Lewis, my favorite book.

    Hi, I'm Oscar! The paragraph I chose is from a book called 'The name of the wind", written by Patrick Rothfuss. It is part of an unfinished trilogy and If you imagine that The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter's universe merged themselves, then you have the Patrick's universe built.

    I deeply love this book. I'll share a Google Drive folder where you can find this book as two epub file, one in english and the other in spanish. I have never read a book in english and I don't want to start with this because of the complex language is used. This is the recording, this is the folder and this is my notion site I was filling during the last week.

    Greetings!

    PD. Here's the paragrhap too :)

    My name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as “Quothe.” Names are important as they tell you a great deal about a person. I’ve had more names than anyone has a right to. The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending on how it’s spoken, can mean “The Flame,” “The Thunder,” or “The Broken Tree.” “The Flame” is obvious if you’ve ever seen me. I have red hair, bright. If I had been born a couple hundred years ago I would probably have been burned as a demon. I keep it short but it’s unruly. When left to its own devices, it sticks up and makes me look as if I have been set afire. “The Thunder” I attribute to a strong baritone and a great deal of stage training at an early age. I’ve never thought of “The Broken Tree” as very significant. Although in retrospect I suppose it could be considered at least partially prophetic. My first mentor called me E’lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them. But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant “to know.” I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

    You may have heard of me.
