Books and authors

Is difficult to choose a favorite book. Many of them come to my mind, but I cannot put one upon another. Each one has a different story, style and topics. So I can only rank the books of the same author. And also, obviously I have my favorite ones.

In a quick reflection, I think that my favorite authors are:
Julia Navarro, a Spanish journalist who writes historical novels. I like them a lot because it includes political and social facts in a fiction story. Also the characters are so realistic. The last one that I´ve read is “You will not kill”. A story of the Spanish civil war of the 20s.
Ryszard Kapuscinski, a polish journalist that has a big variety of stories. In most cases are real tales that he recover as a reporter. My favorite one is “Another day of life”, that takes place in the independence of Angola from the Portuguese people in the 60s.
Michel Houellbecq, a French novelist that writes stories about solitary people in depressive situations. His reflections about culture and European polithics are very interesting. The last one from him that I´ve read is “Soumission”, that takes place in a fictional France governed by muslims.



The last book that I´ve read, the last week, is “Animal Farm”, by George Orwell. Is a satiric story of the Russian revolution. The characters are animals, and Russian governors of that times are pigs. I recommend it.
