Reading Books and Magazines



Post 2: Reading books and magazines

I try to read all that I can in my free time, like magazines, articles, and books because I like to do it and for my work. I read books since I was a kid like 10 or 12 years old, my mother is history teacher so she introduces me famous books and writers like “One hundred years of solitude” from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “El Quijote de la Mancha” from Miguel de Cervantes, “Papelucho” from Marcela Paz, “Metamorphosis” from Kafka, etc.

Honestly I don’t remember how many books I read in my life, but I think must be many.

I like different kind of books, such as history, society, culture and politics. But my favorite book is “Rayuela” from Julio Cortázar, it was first read for me like four years ago, and I go back to it occasionally.


I recently read a book of Zygmunt Bauman called “consumer life”. I enjoy it very much because explain how works society at present. It didn’t take me too long to read this book because was written in a common language so is very easy to read. This book is an attempt to explain how the society is transformed in a society of consumers and how individuals became at the same time the merchandise and the marketer. I recommended for anybody who wants to understand the changes in the life of consumer individuals in modern society.


A country I would like to visit



 
Post 1: A country i would like to visit

Traveling could be one of the most exiting activities that people can do in their lives; in fact millions of people around the globe like to travel to visit another countries and cultures. Unfortunately, I am the class of person that likes to travel but cant to do it, but I don’t miss the faith of travel to another country.

As I am asked to choose a country to visit, I will choose Great Britain. I choose this, because I am very interesting in the history and the culture of this place, especially in London and visit to historical places there.

What I know about England? I know through photos historical places and symbolic constructions like the Big Ben, the Tower Bridge that cross the Thames River, the Old Trafford of Manchester United F.C.

If I can be there someday, I would like to live there some few years, study something related with mi profession and enjoy all the places and people I could know.
