Como naci y creci en territorio Rulfiano, tenia que leer su obra y la verdad que es uno de mis autores favoritos. Mi historia favorita es la de Lucas Lucatero... Yo creo que junto a Gabriel Garcia Marquez, no hay mejores autores latinos. Muy recomendada. 




The Catcher in the Rye

Product Details


I can't believe this book only has two stars on Amazon. This is a very, very good book. I first read it many years ago and despite the fact that I was to young to understand the book, I thought about it all these years. This time around, the book made alot more sense. Excellent book.

I love soccer related books and this was as great one. I'm happy that Sir Alex wrote the book himself. Great personal stories that enlighten you on what takes place behind the scenes when managing a high profile sports team. I've read better sports books, but I would still recommend this one.

Electroboy - 2002


Product Details

  • Hardcover
  • Publisher: Random House (February 19, 2002)
  • ASIN: B008TFZH5G
  • Author: Andy Behrman

I picked up this book at my local thrift store and I was surprised by what I found inside. Many times I found myself believing that there was something wrong with my head and when I learned that this is an autobiography of a person that is suffering manic depression, I was intrigued. 

This book made me feel sad, terrified, and sometimes helpless after reading the tales of this one guy. If anything else, it gave me a perspective into what people suffering of this disease go thru... Thank God my brain is OK.
