Has anyone read anything from Horacio Quiroga? (Our very own Latin Edgar Allan Poe!)
If you haven't, you should! Especially if you're a fan of Poe.

I've read a few of his short stories for school... I loved them!

I read! Yup, it's great, very good short stories, the kind I like. If you're interested in him, you must read about his life to understand his stories... all death around him

It really helps you to understand his way of writing... (damn! Second time in two days I recommend to read the biography of the author to understand his work... I don't usually recommend it... but in those cases I think it's really important!).

I read some of his short stories when I was in high school, and I liked them a lot. mmm.... it's been a long time since that, I think that I will give'em another try.
* Puts Horacio Quiroga in his "to read during the holydays" list *

Just finished Asimov's "Pirates of the Asteroids." Pretty good book, the beginning was sort of slow, but it picked up and became exciting soon after.
The book for my Spanish report.
