Missing May

I seldom cry when I read books. I seldom get emotionally affected. But this book has made me cry several times during the day. Maybe because the book shows how devastating it is to lose a person that you really love. This book was wonderfully written, and is easy to read. I recommend everyone to read this book. No wonder it's a Newbery Medal Winner.

Esperanza Rising

Reading Esperanza Rising is like watching my favorite Spanish Telenovela. Reading it gave me memories of Thalia and her role in Marimar. The book was a real page turner and I loved every chapter. It was one of the most memorable books that I read this quarter, and I definitely recommend it to everyone. I also learned several Mexican proverbs that I will sure remember:

Aquel que hoy sa cae, se levantara mañana. - 
He who falls today may rise tomorrow.


Es mas rico el rico cuando empobrece que el pobre cuando enriquece. - 
The rich person is richer when he becomes poor, than the poor person when he becomes rich.

The Far Side

The Far Side by Gary Larson is a collection of single-panel comic strips that the author has made throughout the years. The aptly named comics, The Far Side, shows bizarre pictures of aliens and humans interacting with each other. It's supposed to be funny, but I guess, Gary Larson and I have a different sense of humor.
