Day Five

One chance, one book.

I got the opportunity finally of start reading one of my most expected books: "Cien Años de Soledad" of Gabriel García Márquez. I wanted to read it since I was on the Faculty, but I hadn't had the enough time of reading it, like a constant activity.

I enjoy so much reading, actually is one of my most favorite activities and I always have a book with me, so if there's a lot of traffic, or I have some free time I can take advantage of that by continue or starting my reading.

One of my best friends borrowed me the book. As a condition of borrowing books I always say: "If I am about of lending you a book, I would only do it if you borrow me one as well". Therefore, I lended her a Rosario Castellanos' book, and she gave me "Cien Años de Soledad" and "Como agua para Chocolate" of Laura Esquivel.

I personally think that is a little difficult to find someone that has the same interests that you have, and also have favorite authors in common. I met Alejandra three years ago on my Italian class and since then, we have been friends. She told me, like a million times by the way, that I must care her book, because is her favorite one. I felt immediatly anxious of start with the reading of her precious book.

I got confussed with some parts of the books because the names of the main characters are used all over to name the new members that arrived to the story. In spite of that I really like the book (as far as I read), the personal style of writing of García Marquéz is exquisite and I'm really loking forward to finish it!
