I recently finish a book I have wanted to read for a while. It is called Vicious, it was written by an American author named Victoria Schwab and it was published in 2013. I read it in English because it has not been translated to Spanish yet and I could not wait so I thought I´ll try to read it on its original language and I could.

It´s a fantasy novel about two friends in college that learn how to get supernatural powers but later become archenemies. It starts in the middle of the story and is continuously going ford and back (WO) in time (P) until you get to the event that changes everything. In every chapter you´ll get all these pieces of information that you may not understand completely in the moment (P) but it will make more sense the further you read. So in the past you´ll see these two roommates, best friends, and their life in college and in the present you´ll see them trying to haunt each other. The two main characters have really interesting personalities and their interactions as best friends are as interesting as their interactions as archenemies.

*going back and ford

*in time, until you get to the event 

*in the moment, but it will make more sense

I enjoyed it very much, I didn´t want to stop reading and I was really sad when it ended. I think reading it again, now knowing everything that happened, will be a really different experience than the first time. I can´t wait.

Bosque Quemado

Hi everybody!

Today I’m going to talk about a book that I reading at the moment, this book is called “Bosque Quemado” of Roberto Brodsky a chilean writer and screenwriter. This book is a novel, specifically a autobiographical novel of 2008.  

I started reading it because a friend recommended, she was my mate and friends when I study literature, she always recommends me books and movies. Erika (my fiends) used this book for his thesis and someday in his house she shows me the book and said: you must to read this!

Back to home I started reading it on the bus and I read 40 pages in no time and loved.  The book tells about the Chilean exile and how a family is divided for this reason.  But is not only about exile, because the story be interconnected with divorces, adultery, clandestine loves, distances, returns and the slow and painful death of his father  for Alzheimer. Almost everything is a metaphor about a burned forest (Bosque Quemado) in the mind of narrator, the main character and the author who is recognized as this character.

Finally, I leave you with one of my favorite quotes is from this book:

"Busco desaparecer entre las frases, fundirme en el anonimato de una imagen y atrapar la luz que cuelga del cielo en violento contraste con la confusión incorregible que llevo cosida al pecho, inmovilizado detrás de un cristal opaco y duro que se enloza con los días"

Hi, I'm going to talk about my feelings today!

I'm very very happy because I have several reasons that make me feel this. 

Firstly, because in the last time I could share and enjoy with different people and friends, this year I've know a lot persons and it has been nice, I've learn of each one and I share with they in different contexts.

Also, this year I've doing class to workers in other campus of the university, this activity fill my heart, when we learn in group; I of her and her of me. Now with very time between us, can talk familiarly and forget the typical space teacher-student. Every wednesday is beauty because this. 

Lately, I've started to know about jazz and this style of music brings me sometimes calm, excitement, happiness, attitude to reflect, etc. I love find new bands, some that I know recently are Snarky Puppy, Brad Mehldau & Mark Guiliana (Mehliana), Hermeto Pascoal, Esperanza Spalding, Marcus Miller, etc. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc]

This last time I had little time to ready different stuffs or watching movies, but if I went to the theater...custom that I don't want lost. Well, the theater, in my opinión, is an activity very expensive, but in occasions appear a free play or always exists a student discount. Returning to the topic, the theater is amazing, I believe that the Greeks says about the catharsis, actually clear and purge the feelings! 

Finally, I've been involved in a university project  that moves me to work and think in new forms to build community with teachers, neighbor, workers, etc. I have more than 240 words, but I lend the link if you want know https://www.facebook.com/ManosaLaObraUCh/
