I’ve been looking for a book that describes what I’m feeling, because I need to know what I’m feeling.
When I was younger and used to read all these teenage novels about love, I used to fall in love with words and characters, and it fulfill me in a way only a good read can. Now I’m desperate looking for those words that say something about my life. Something that gives me a little meaning. A shiver in the heart. You know what I mean?
So I’ve been to many bookstores this year, and past year and the year before that. And the employees ask “Can I help you find something?” or “what kind of book do you want to read?” I even had a deep search at a Barnes and Noble this summer with an employee that was really trying to help me find something I’m interested in and I couldn’t find a single thing I wanted to read. So I bought some things anyways just to not be rude, and I couldn’t pass the first chapter. I was just bored.
The thing is I don’t need another YA novel, where it starts with a tragic accident, a dysfunctional family and a hopeless love. I neither want to read some boring stuff of a medieval era with fancy words I don’t understand. I want to read something that reads me. I firmly believe that every good writer, is before, a great reader. I don’t mean to be a good writer, but writing is a thing I really enjoy, and I don’t want to lose the skill. I don’t want to lose words and lack knowledge.
I need a book to read, so please, please, if you read this and you have any suggestions please, please feel free to offer it.
p.s. my primary language is Spanish so it can be in Spanish.
