A book is always a good partner, or that's what I think at least... It sounds like a book worm, and maybe I am, cause I enjoy reading books during my free time and being in another world for a while. With reading, people can feel like another person, they can understand them and also their ways to think and behave.

I like reading literature, history and philosophy. If we're talking about literature, my favorite branch is the magic realism of the "latin american boom", but I like also some french writers and poets, like Victor Hugo or Charles Baudelaire. One of my favorite book characters is "La Maga" from Rayuela, a novel written by Julio Cortázar. La Maga is a woman who has had a hard life, and although she thinks she's dumb and stupid (because the rest make her feel that), she teaches her "friends" much more about the life than she can imagine.
I haven't had much time to read what I want to read, but one of the books that I've recently read is
"The Savage Detectives" (written by Roberto Bolaño). I enjoyed it, but it took to me around three weeks to read because I didn't have much time
. The story is about Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, two poets who have invented a new literary movement: The "Visceral Realists". They disappeared in México and nobody knows anything about their location.
I would recommend it to people who like poetry, politics and the latin american history, but if you're looking for a love story or something like that, this is not a good book for you.
