2. Male protagonist would be Prince Myshkin from The Idiot and female protagonist would be Liesel from The Book Thief.

3. Quickly - Fight Club; Took a While - A Game of Thrones (I would say A Clash of Kings but I haven't finished it yet lol)

4. This one is really hard. I don't have all my books with me and I don't remember any covers in specific.

5. Portugal: O Delfim (I don't think it's been translated to any other languages but it's a great book.)

International: There are so many. I'll go with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy eheheh

6. The longest according to GR would be A Game of Thrones but, not to get repetitive, and to mention more portugues lit I'll go with Os Maias. I read a lot of short stories, so I'll go with one of my favorites: Guts.

7. Fiction - Crime and Punishment; Non-fiction - The Anti-Christ

8. The Joys of Smoking Cigarettes - happy isn't probably the right word but I found this one extremely funny and loved reading it. The Idiot - this one made extremely depressed when I finished it.

I'm taking a break from Saramago and try to finish The Great Gatsby!
