They have a story. They're not mine, well, I'm not sure, maybe they are now. Anywhozers, the thing is that when I moved to LA I just brought what was extremely necessary [you know school stuff and most of my shoes], therefore all my books are back at home, in PUERTO RICO, thousands and thousands of friking miles away. So my dad [I LOVE this guy] sent me his books, like a few of them obviously so that I could get my read on, and not get bored. Which, I'm pretty sure was the case..
Dad: Hey honey, wassup?
Me: Nothing new, just here, bored.
Dad: Why don't you read?
Me: Maybe, cause all of my books are in my room, in the house where YOU are.
Dad: Oh yea, that's right.
So, instead of sending me MY books, he sent me his, which probably made sense since he knows I have read all of my books, and not his. LOL. Back to the list. Most of the books on the list are my dad's or/and my mom's from when they were in college, you know, only 30 years ago. And a few of the books I had bought a few months ago, but for some reason I haven't read them. Oh well here it goes [in no particular order].

ReplyDelete"¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
una sombra, una ficción,
y el mayor bien es pequeño;
que toda la vida es sueño,
y los sueños, sueños son."
