It's name is "Odio", a book writed by David Moody, he when was young beggins to read and see horror and cience-fiction books and movies. He wrote this book on 2006.
This book talks about the routine of a family, all the story happends around this family, and at the little chapters, little by little, the things that are happening are nearer to this family. This book is talking about the "society hate". Like an human apocalipsis that is destroying the world just like whe know it right now. The humans beings separating in two groups and all what e know disappears to open a way to a totally different perspective.
I choose this book because I love it, I think that is the type of book that when you end it, give to you the desire to read it again, and is so easy to read.

Someone thinks that gymnastics was easy??

As I said in the other post, gymnastics is extremelly hard, so it's one of the most dificult sports.
In this video, you'll see a young chinese training in an ordinary day. Of course; when you win something, when you do get a new gymnastic element and when you get much more beautiful moments and things,... you are very proud, but if you want to get it, you need to grow very quickly becouse if you don't have a big concience and a very mature mentality, you can't suport all the enormous sacrifice that involve. You can check it on this video. It's so hard and sad at many moments but gymnastics is like drugs; you can't stop it if you bring it under your heart.

Hope U like it :)!

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime



This book was wrotten in 2004 by the hand of Mark Haddon, who studied literature in oxford, and after finish his degree he started to work with people with psicological and phisical defiancies, all these experience have influenced him in every book that he wrote.
This book talks about Christopher, who is a boy that suffers autism and explains what he do and why, explain all the little thinks that for us are really strange but its interesting to imagine that could be real, and it is. 
I don't want to explain you anymore about it because then it could lose all the mistery, but i really recomend this book for all the people that are interested in psicological defiances and in special to the people that wants to know more about the autism because it gives you another way of see this "problem". And after all I would like to say that Mark Haddon is one of the writers that, in my opinion, leads better with this themes.
You can find this book in all the bookstore or in the library.
I hope you like it!

The boy with striped pijama



The writer of the book is John Boyne, I wrote in 2006.

It's about a child of nine year old can not understand that there is evil in his world, who just wants to play with friends, live and grow up happy. A child who has to judge what is happening throughout his short life protected, and it will take to protect the friendship despite all the barriers that stand in their way.
It can be seen as the child's mind is able to interpret the logic over the cruelties that human adults can create.

I really recommend this book because when I read this book I found easy to understand, quick and emotional.

This novel you will find them in any bookstore and library.

House being more jackass than ever

This is a part of a chapter of the new seson of House M.D. In this video we can see how of cruelty can be this doctor. I think it's funny and a little bit heavy, but if you know Gregory House before you will not be surprising.

House M.D. - The Jew Thing

"Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada"

"Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada" or "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" in english, is a work that belongs to the time of the poet's youth, it was written and blog when you did not even twenty years.
 

This work of Pablo Neruda, is composed of twenty poems of love themes and a final poem "La Canción Desesperada". The poems have no titles, maybe that's why we seek to give greater unity to the book and use a larger effort by the reader in his interpretation.

The origin of the book is explained as a conscious evolution of his poetry that comes out of the molds of postmodernism that dominated his first compositions and his first book, Crepusculario.

Though "Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada" is based on real love experiences of the young poet. It is a book of love that is not directed to one only lover. The poet has mixed in his verses the physical characteristics of several real women of his youth to create an unreal image of the beloved that doesn't correspond to any of them specifically, but represents an idea of ​​the object of his love purely poetic.


I recomend you this book because when I read it I felt many sensations and because it is a book easy and quickly to read.  Also I think you should read this book because in these times poetry is lagging behind our literary culture and, in my opinion, is a very effective and sensible way to let it disappear in the near future.
