My books



Hello, here I am again. This time I talk about books, great topic in my life, in fact, I hope talk about this since time ago...

From child I love reading (religious books inclusive), and always I search something that read. I am a restless person, and a good movie or a book make me feel brand new (like the song of Simply Red, remember you?).

Actually I read three books about political science, this talk about of democracy, political conflict and intolerance in our society postmodern. The authors are Slavoj Zizek, Chantal Mouffe and Alain Tourain. About Slavoj Zizek and the book "In defense of intolerance", he propose a intolerance like a element that make a real political dialogue, in where the confrontation is clear and make possible the political debate. In the beginning he exposed examples in USA about the utilization of ideal models for political purposes (like pregnancy in black woman and the abort). Then he argues his tesis and criticize the tolerant liberalism and multicultural.

A book that I remember in a special way, for a importante moment in my life, is a "Los zarpazos del puma" of Patricia Verdugo. In that time I was reading about politic in Chile, and this books make me discover the journalistic narrative, in fact, I read many books about this subject (like "El miedo en Chile", "Bucarest 187"). In this books the author talk the events of the dictatorship in Chile, the murder in a puma military helicopter and the experience of victims and murderers.

Always I find new books that read (but I not read religious books anymore). You have any interesting?

I see you

  3. It sounds like we kind of like similar books. I read Bucarest 187 too, some years ago! It´s a pretty good book. I think reading books with political and history contents are a great way to learn!
