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

  1. I also loved the Artemis Fowl saga, did you know that there is a graphoc novel of each installment? It's great.
    You have great taste! And don't worry, with time it gets easier to keep on the reading habit ;)
