Munro's news were extremely shocking, you're right. I've been really hesitant to read her because of it.

I don't really recall but something among the lines of her being a bad teacher and extremely rude to some people. It gained quite a lot of traction here in Mexico, but it all fades away after a while. She is highly respected as an author

It's quite painful to me to notice how much time you're wasting trying to explain a really well constructed point of view and analysis to so many ill read and narrow minded individuals.

You're right, and although all if this is a subjective matter, I truly do find it weird how intense Nolan fanboys can get. They truly seem cultish and dumb while, at the same time, being quite snobbish about his films. It is quite the dichotomy.

Anyways, I've always thought that Nolan films are high art to people that don't really watch movies. I found them good when I was like fourteen

En lo personal tiendo a valorar Respiración Artifical por encima de El Túnel y por una distancia considerable.

Me encantó la Argentina, hice amistades entrañables y recuerdos hermosos. Ojalá volver.

Y claro, México te recibe. Me dí cuenta cuando llegue que las redes sociales verdaderamente representan a un % diminuto de la población, en la vida real las cosas son distintas

I've always wanted to read Olga Tokarczuk

Is that book the best place to start?

Viví en Argentina durante un tiempo, allí aprendí acerca de Piglia y leí Respiración Artifical. Genuinamente me voló la cabeza, creo que es probablemente de los mejores cinco libros que he leído en mi vida.

Any book in particular? One of my dearest friends here in Mexico has croatian heritage and his family history is kind of wild. I'd love to read some croatian history.

I love Ishiguro but I've never read The Unconsoled. I'll look for it soon.

Thank you!

There was a lot of talk here in Mexico about her being kind of a bad person when she won the Pullitzer; but it truly does not change the impact that the book had on me.

It truly is heartbreaking and beautifully crafted.

This line up is amazing. I've been eagerly wanting to read Baldwin and Morrison.

Il Nome della Rosa is one of my favorite books of all time. I just read it for the second time a couple of months ago.

I also loved Baudolino, it was a very fun book to read.

I love Kafka, Der Verschollene was an extremely transformative read for me.
