Post 6

I never really liked to read when I was a child, I actually liked math and I was very good with numbers. However, something happened... I remember watching the independence period of Chile in history classes for the umpteenth time , the thing is, I did an interesting question and the teacher realized I was bored with such low level classes and so he began to lend me some books.

The first one i read was "The Land of the Long Shadows" by Hans Ruesch, the book itself is nothing special, the story is simple, but for a teenager addicted to mathematics it was something completely new. The truth is that it sounds corny but that book changed my life, it changed my life into knowing that the Inuit tribe hardly knows the evil or the idea of fidelity or even possession.

After that book I read the library of the house, which was no more than thirty or forty paperbacks accumulated by years of reading tests at school.

I fell for the humanism and the literature, I started writing and the rest is history. Honestly now I can hardly spend time reading, but I still like more reading than to add or subtract and the truth is I forgot all that were logarithms, equations, whatever ... I'm at a point of no return.

At this time I have no favorite author, I love Poe, but it even depends on the gender or my mood, maybe it can be Hesse or Unamuno. My favorite book I think is "Steppenwolf" or even "The Fog" that I recently reread.

Steppenwolf is a super healthy and necessary travel, at least I lived it well, there is not a single story, it is rather an insentivating and encouraging journey to the imagination, it is totally recommended, it's short and precise, dense in its brevity, a jewel.
