Reading! A good hobbie

My favorite hobbie of all time is to read a lot books. I don’t think there’s anything that I like more than that. Most of the days of my life, when I arrive home, I go directly to my room and I just sit in my bed reading for hours. I like to talk a lot about it, about the things I read. I like to talk about the books I have read. It’s my favorite subject of all time.
I always do it on home, but also in the subway or in the bus. I also like to read in libraries, but that is something more difficult. I prefer to do it alone. It’s the thing I like the most: reading alone in bed. But I also like to talk about it with friends. We discuss about why Auster is a good author or why Bolaño’s work is one of the best ever written. Those things are what make the hobbie beautiful: enjoy the good conversation that one can have with the writer, with his book, and with our friends. Those two things together are totally the best. The knowledge, the things that one can learn, all of that, of course, are the things that make this the best hobbie of all.

The power of literature in one person

Image
Roberto Bolaño is a chilean writer that, in his time, told a billion of histories of the realities that he saw around Mexico, Spain and Chile, his homeland. He was born in Santiago de Chile, in 1953, and he died the 15 of July in 2003, in Blanes, Spain. He had two children: Lautaro and Alexandra. He wrote a lot of works, and a lot of them were published posthumously, like his biggest novel, 2666.  Most of his work was written in Spain, Blanes, a little city near Barcelona. Examples of that are The savage detectives, the Nazi Literature in the Americas or Distant Star. He won a lot of prizes for his work. I like him because he writes about the realities of the people he met, and the places where he lived. He was also some kind of journalist. He constantly wrote articles and about the news he saw. But he wasn't the current idea of what we have of journalist: he lived, he saw some things that he wanted to write about, to talk about realities that, in other times, has been unse

The pure instinct of a journalist

Image
There could be a lot of reasons of why I choose journalism as a career. But, a few years ago, I was sure I was going to study sociology. When I was young, a little child, or a person that had other conceptions of life, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, but I couldn’t comprehend what that means. Therefore, I starPted to read a lot of non-fiction books, most of them, from sociologists like Weber or Marx. At the end, I decided journalism for pure instinct. I really like the University of Chile, the teachers and students. My dream is to write literature, or to work in La Tercera , in the section called Culto . I would like to study something about Hispanic Literature, or something linked to sociology, like writing a book, or something like that.

A picture from years ago

Image
This picture have a lot of background to understand it. First of all, it means more that just a middle finger random picture. It was taken when I thought that anarchism was the politican ideal that I would follow my entire life. That day, I had to dance tango for the school. In the picture, I wear a suit that doesn't fit me well, but I didn't care. And I was talking to my best friend of those days, that is my friend with a colombian costume. It was taken by the person that I liked for like three or more years, that, also, had to dance Tango. But not with me. She saw us arguing about something that I can't remember, but I know it has to deal with our discussions about anarchism or socialism, if my memory does not fail me. It was taken outside our classroom, when we were preparing to go down to the yard to dance.  It has a really deep meaning to me, because, on that time, I didn't realize how happy I was, how meaningful those persons would become on the next years, and r
