Hi, the topic this week is Literature and Books!
I must read a lot because it is something that requires me the career I study: sociology. But I don’t read literature; I read papers, scientific texts about research, theories on society and the social sciences. Now, literature is of secondary importance in my life, but for me it is very important to read.
But when was a child, I read many stories. My mother is librarian, then she always showed me new books and we read stories together at night.
If it comes to literature, I like Latin American writers like Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and Julio Cortázar. I also like the poetry of Nicanor Parra that don't use traditional language and writes about today's topic of Chile, since a very critical eye. Although I have not read, I heard that Milan Kundera is very interesting, I would like to know more.
There is a book I read when I was in school I liked a lot: “Pantaleón y las visitadoras” by Mario Vargas Llosa. Quartermaster Captain Pantaleon Pantoja has been entrusted with the task of organizing a service of "visiting" (prostitutes) for the troops Peruvian of High Amazon. The work becomes a satire of the military organization. Very interesting and fun!
Lucky you! I wish one of my parents had been a librarian when I was a kid, I would have been able to read twice as much as I actually did.
