A book that means a lot to you?
There are many books that mean a lot to me but I would name the Holy Bible – especially stories from the Old Testament and Genesis because they throw up several very interesting and accurate human aspects. I also like the moving stories from Exodus. The Holy Bible is a book that means a lot to me also because it talks about the life of Christ, his message and his sacrifice. I deeply respect it for all the human emotions and aspects it offers.
Your favourite genre?
Poetry. You know, I wanted to be a poet. I read a lot of fiction, too, but poetry is the genre I prefer, because it is the best way for me to express emotions.
Your favorite character?
My favourite character is Ivan Karamazov from Dostoyevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. I particularly appreciate the kinds of relations he makes with people.
How many books do you own?
In my library, I would say 8,000.
An underrated book?
Moby Dick by Herman Melville, because it’s really good at drawing human friendships and situations.
An overrated book?
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga.
The book you bought last?
The Way to Paradise by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. I also always enjoy science fiction!
Last book read?
The last book I read was the same, The Way to Paradise.
A book you wish you’d written?
Canto General by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda, because it’s an extremely poetic history of Latin America.
