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.

This book is crazy... I really enjoyed reading it. I was amazed and surprised to find out that Steve Jobs was such a slob. It's amazing to see how he formed a company that thrived that was based on technological innovations while never specializing in the technology field himself. Great book, great life. I'm now a fan of Steve. 

Los Senores Del Narco - (2011)

Title: Los Senores Del Narco (2011)

ISBN: 978-0307882356
Non-Fiction
Author: Anabel Hernandez
Editorial: Grijalbo

A mi gusto este libro es un cochinero y quisiera nunca haberlo leido. El libro esta bien escrito y como todos los libros de Anabel Hernandez, muy bien documentado. Me refiero a el con el termino de "cochinero" porque es lo que expone. El cochinero que tenemos de politicos jugandonos el dedo en la boca. El libro hace buen trabajo en demostrar de una forma bien documentada que los senores del contrabando no son los supuestos cabecillas de las mafias Mexicanas... los jefes son los politicos y empresarios que protegen y lavan los dineros sucios. Despues de leer este libro le perdi la fe a la guerra contra el narco. 

Una guerra perdida.

Non Fiction / Novel
Author: Giles Foden
Editorial: Vintage

I love non-fiction books with recent history themes. This book relates the story of Uganda Dictator Idi Amin told form the eyes of a Scottish Doctor that managed to become very close to this crazy character. The book is a fiction novel based on real facts. I think it does a great job setting up the scenario for this crazy story to take place.

Graphic Novel / Memoir

Author: David Small

Editorial: W.W. Norton & Company

This is the darkest graphic novel I've read so far and what makes it even darker is the fact that it's a memoir . It's amazing… very memorable. I finished reading this novel two weeks ago, and I still can't stop thinking and processing both the art and the story. Great book. 

El Reino De Este Mundo (2009)

Title: El Reino De Este Mundo (2009)

ISBN: 0061711896

Fiction
Author: Alejo Carpentier
Editorial: Rayo

Este libro se publico en 1949 y relata historias vistas desde los ojos del personaje llamado Ti Noel. La etapa de la historia es antes, durante y despues de la Revolucion Haitiana.. El libro mezcla muy bien la ficcion con historias veridicas. Se desarrolla principalmente en Haiti, pero tambien se transporta a Cuba, Santo Domingo e Italia. Me gusto el libro porque igual que los escritos por Garcia Marquez y Juan Rulfo, las historias se desarrollan en Latinoamerica, y te ensenan lo afortunado que somos al formar parte de la misma tribu hispano-parlante.
