Fat Middle, cuales son los libros mejores de Espana?

</really stinky Spanish>

10-12-2000, 08:07 PM

ufff, esa es una pregunta MUY difÃ*cil

of course the head Spanish book is Don Quijote de la Mancha by Cervantes. It's a very wise book and also very funny. The only problem is that it is of the XVII Century so you may find it a bit difficult. As you may know itâ€™s about a man who went mad for reading to many books (does that sound familiar to you?

). The character of Sancho Panza is the closeest you can find to Sam Gamgee.

If you like to read theatre

youâ€™ll enjoy some of our masters of the Golden Century as El Caballero de Olmedo by Lope de Vega or La Vida es SueÃ±o, by CalderÃ³n de la Barca.

We have had great poets as San Juan de la Cruz (the best for me) or, in the XX Century, Antonio Machado and Juan RamÃ³n JimÃ©nez. However i must say there wasnâ€™t any really good novellist in the XIX Century (a century of great novellists all around the world).

In the XX Century i can advise you to read El Aleph, a very good book of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges (who is from Argentine) and some books of the recently dead spanish novellist Miguel Delibes, as El Camino or SeÃ±ora de Rojo sobre Fondo Gris.

well, that is only MY list...

My favorite book is without any doubt LOTR
then just next is "le sorcier de terremer" trilogie by Ursula LeGouin

10-20-2000, 01:53 AM

By utilizing my astounding(ly awful) knowledge of French (and of course Amazon. com), I have discovered, for the sake of those who know even less French than I do, that the English title would be A Wizard of Earthsea. The French is prettier, don't you think? (For one thing, sorcier is just a cool word!)

Sorry. :/ I find these things absolutely fascinating.

10-20-2000, 04:47 PM

Thanks for the info

I personaly find these books great and i sugess that you try to read them

08-05-2001, 07:05 AM

A Tale of Two Cities. Doesnt get any better(or worse)

08-05-2001, 09:52 PM

Hmm... I think I must say the Discworld series(the ones I've read), The hitchhikers guide Trilogy(all five books)... Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth... the last two are great series, but I am unsure whether to add them to my favorites... yeah, I think I must...
As for nonfantasy, there are too long since I've read a nonfantasy book... read Slaughterhouse five by Kurt Vonnegut at school a coupla years ago... that was pretty good...

I like The Stand by Stephen King. I also like his short story collections, Night Shift, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and Skeleton Crew. I also like Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy.

Oh yeah, Harry Potter isn't too bad either.
