Si quieren sugerir lecturas para el próximo mes o comentar, no duden en escribirnos. 

Como es bien sabido -es viral y está de moda, además es de un famoso- a inicios de este año, el genio adolecente y “creador” de Facebook -con un poco de ayuda de sus amigos y CIA- inició por así decirlo una “campaña de lectura mundial”.

Muchos dirán que esto es algo noble, altruista, digno de admiración, pero la cosa no pasa de ser un intento para inculcar lecturas vanas y cansinas en la mente de los menos despiertos, que se excitan leyendo literatura basura como sombras de Grey o dicen enamorarse con relatos de vampiros caducos.

Es alucinante como estos personajes mueven masas y controlan multitudes, cuando Zuckerberg presentó el primer libro que iba a leer, éste se vendió mundialmente y hasta se agotó en algunas partes.

La influencia de estos famosos es abrumadora, el control mundial digno de tener en cuenta.

A la par hemos decido nosotros también hacer una Campaña de Lectura, a diferencia que aquí encontrarán libros con trasfondo, dignos de ser analizados, reflexionados para entender un poco más el mundo que nos rodea.

Zuckerberg y CIA solamente leerán 2 libros por mes, nosotros leeremos 4.

If you want to suggest readings for next month or comment, please write.

As is well known, -is viral, is “in” and it is someone famous- earlier this year, the teen genius and "creator" of Facebook, -with a little help from his friends and CIA- began a "global reading campaign".

Many will say that this is something noble, selfless, admirable, but the thing is nothing but an attempt to instill vain and samey readings in the mind of the least awake, which are excited by reading literature as shades of Grey or fall in love with tales of old vampires.

It's amazing how these characters move masses and control crowds, when Zuckerberg presented the first book, the book was sell worldwide and even in some parts it was sold out.

The influence of these celebrities is overwhelming; world control has to be seriously considered.

At the same time we have decided to do a Reading Campaign, unlike the other, here you will find books with background, worthy of being studied, reflected upon to understand a little more about the world around us.

Zuckerberg and CIA will only read 2 books per month, we will read 4.

50 Truths About Gabriel García Márquez

Salim Lamrani 

The Colombian writer, the genius of magical realism, whose writings have forever marked universal literary history, died in Mexico City on April 17, 2014 at the age of 87.

1. Born March 6, 1927 in Aracataca, Magdalena, Colombia, to a family of modest means with 16 children, Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez, Gabo as he was called by his family and friends, is undoubtedly the greatest Latin American writer of all time.

2. Shortly after his birth in 1929, his parents, Gabriel Eligio García and Luisa Márquez Iguarán Santiaga were required to move to Barranquilla for professional reasons. Little Gabriel was entrusted to his maternal grandparents.

3. His grandfather, Colonel Nicolás Ricardo Márquez Mejía, nicknamed Papalelo, was a veteran of the War of a Thousand Days - a fratricidal conflict between the Liberal Party and the National Party that raged between 1899 and 1902. He was a great narrator and influenced Gabo profoundly, becoming his "umbilical cord with history and reality." A progressive, he had protested against the Banana Massacre in December 1928, in which more than 1,000 United Fruit Company farm workers had been killed by the Colombian army following threats by Washington to send in its own troops to protect the interests of the multinational. The Colonel recounted this tragedy to his grandson. He also encouraged him to discover the treasures of the dictionary. "It's hard to forget such a grandfather," confided García Márquez.

4. His grandmother, Tranquilina Iguarán Cotes, affectionately nicknamed "granny Mina" by the young Gabriel, was a "superstitious woman with a great imagination." She fascinated him with her stories and fantastical tales as well as her conviction in telling them. Thus, she became his first source of inspiration. "Since I was born, I knew I would be a writer. I wanted to be a writer. I had the will, the disposition, the motivation and the ability to be a writer. I never thought I would do anything other than that. I didn't think I could live without writing. I was ready to starve to death in order to be a writer."

5. On the death of his grandfather in 1936, the young Gabriel, then 9 years old, joined his parents in Sucre. He was sent to boarding school in Barranquilla, located on the banks of the Magdalena River, then on to the Jesuit college in San Jose in 1940. He won a scholarship and continued his secondary education at the National School in Zipaquirá, located one hour from Bogotá.

6. In 1947, he went on to study law at the National University of Colombia in Bogotá where he devoted most of his time to reading. He devoured the works of Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and especially William Faulkner whom he considered his "master." He was marked by the works of Franz Kafka, especially The Metamorphosis, which was the inspiration for his first story. He also developed a passion for classic Greek tragedy, such as Sophocles' Oedipus the King.
