I love reading. I read more than three hours a day. I hope to encourage someone to read the books I discuss. My favorite genres are classics, plays, children's books, and short stories.

Sacred Families
I read this book years ago and reread it again. "Gaspard de la Nuit" is one of my favorite stories of all time. It's about a mother having to deal with her strange teenager whose favorite pastime is whistling a tune to himself. He entertains himself wandering the street whistling this. But there's more than one of him around. This book was actually better the second time around I read it. "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" was just ok. The second story "Green Atom Number Five" made more of an impression on me the second time around. It's about a dentist who dabbles in art. Their property starts disappearing. There aren't many reviews for this book online which is a shame. I really need to read Jose Donoso's other works. He has something unique to say.
