The books will never die!!

I do several things to avoid the tedium… the principal of this things is read, seriously, I like books a lot, sometimes I spend a whole day reading a interesting novel, or a essay… sometimes poetry or history, politics and theory books.

When I started to take literature seriously, one of the first books I read was "God and the State" by Mikhail Bakunin, a classic of anarchist theory. I like political and controversial  books, so one of my favorite titles is "1984" by George Orwell.

The books I enjoy most are the nineteenth-century Russian novels, I love writers likeDostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Gogol, Lermontov ... their stories are always full of details and ideasthat provide insight into the functioning of an entire society through the personalities of theirdeep characters.

However, I also like some contemporary American authors, such as Luis Sepúlveda, Eduardo Galeano or poets like Mauricio Redolés and Mario Benedetti, who is the poemthat I leave in the video below.
