The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon
"Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 is not for everyone (mostly I know this because I’ve recommended this book before and been dismayed when it was not loved). I’ve been reading a lot of books lately which are not easily classifiable, and The Cr..." Read more of this review »

El proceso by Franz Kafka
"Me tocó enfrentarme a la última mitad de El Proceso en una kilométrica cola de una oficina bancaria, para tramitar un extraño documento que la compañía de seguros me exigía entregar en un lapso de tiempo ridículamente corto. Días antes había sido..." Read more of this review »

Primer libro que leo de Alice Munro, y me gustó bastante, aunque esperaba más...

En sus historias, todas breves, se destacan mujeres fuertes y decididas, seguras de sí mismas pero agobiadas por conflictos tanto internos como externos, todo esto sin d

Leandro Cassetta
Leandro Cassetta is on page 153 of 160 of Tales of the Peculiar: Por Dios, que horrible cuento el que acabo de terminar de leer, es el mas corto y se me hizo eterno, casi dejo el libro por ella, no solo es mala, sino innecesaria

J.R.R. Tolkien
“La Fantasía es una actividad connatural al hombre. Claro está que ni destruye ni ofende a la Razón. Y tampoco inhibe nuestra búsqueda ni empaña nuestra percepción de las verdades científicas. Al contrario. Cuanto más aguda y más clara sea la razón, más cerca se encontrará de la Fantasía. Si el hombre llegara a hallarse alguna vez en un estado tal que le impidiese o le privase de la voluntad de conocer o percibir la verdad (hechos o evidencias), la Fantasía languidecería hasta que la humanidad sanase.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

“Sometimes I don't think I've done anything to leave my mark in this world. I'm the kind of person the world leaves a mark on.”
Chris Offutt, Out of the Woods: Stories

“I will break the cycle.” I drew my sword and laid it across my knees. “You know how to break the cycle of hatred?” I asked.

“Love,” said Gomst, all quiet-like.

“The way to break the cycle is to kill every single one of the bastards that fucked you over,” I said. “Every last one of them. Kill them all. Kill their mothers, kill their brothers, kill their children, kill their dog.”
Mark Lawrence

Robin Hobb
“I found myself speaking softly as if I were telling an old tale to a young child. And giving it a happy ending, when all know that tales never end, and the happy ending is but a moment to catch one’s breath before the next disaster.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Quest

Georges Perec
“It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that, without mincing words, you don't know how to live, that you will never know."

-from "A Man Asleep”
Georges Perec, Things: A Story of the Sixties; A Man Asleep
