My favourite book

Well, when I was younger I used to read a lot, more than now, but I have always loved it. In one hand I enjoy reading books about magical worlds and rare beings, things like that. Books like the Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl saga, also Frankenstein, and some books about ancient myths like The Iliad and The Odyssey, stories about heroes and gods, old wars, etc.
In the other hand I also like more modern style of fantastic authors like Julio Cortázar and Gabriel García Márquez, actually Márquez is my favourite writer. Of Cortázar I enjoyed some of his books like “Bestiario” and “Todos los fuegos el fuego”, and one short-story called “La continuidad de los parques”. About the García Márquez’s repertoire I like “Crónica de una muerte anunciada”, “Memorias de mis putas tristes” and obviously “Cien años de soledad”, my preferred book. A perfectly interlaced plot with a lot of interesting characters with their own history, and a startling end. In my opinion, a masterpiece.

In the last years I became reading each time less, I have started a lot of books but I also haven’t finished a lot too, like “The Karamazov brothers” of Dostoyevsky, a compilation of Stephen King’s stories, and others. But I pretend to start reading again, it is a really nice hobby and very useful too.http://tataranietos.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/arbol_genealogico_familia_buendia.jpg

The Rolling Stones

Last summer, in February I went to The Rolling Stones concert with my family. It was in Estadio Nacional, in Santiago de Chile.
The Rolling Stones is a British band of rock, one of the most recognized bands in world, and probably one of the five most important in music’s history. With The Beatles, are the two most popular British bands all history. It actual members are Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts (three of the originals) and Ron Wood; but it has had a lot of members throughout its history. Songs like Satisfaction, Sympathy for the devil, Paint it black, Start me up and She’s a rainbow are some their most famous singles.
Well, in stadium most of the people were older than me. A lot older. And it obvious, the band is fifty years old, so many of the participants grow up with this band. However everybody were excited, jumping, singing loudly, they were all very happy.
Although I am very young, I was very excited too, I like this band since I was a child, so finally being there was really nice. I didn´t knew all the songs, because they are too much, but they played almost all that I like.

Like they are all near seventy years old, it was probably their last concert in Chile, so it was also very important because of that. I really enjoyed it.
