A world of letters

Books are an important part in my life and they take a lot of my time. I like to read every kind of books, but my favorite books are novels and history books, because they keep me amused and concentrated.

In this moment I’m reading some book by Jürgen Habermas, such as "Ciencia y Técnica como Ideología", for a paper of science theory about the power. This book is about the power systems, and the relationship of social power and power legitimacy.

My favorite book is Martin Rivas by Alberto Blest Gana. It talks about the story of a provincial young man that arrives in the capital, and it describes the life in Chile in the XIX century, showing the political and historical reality. Also I like other books as "Un lugar sin Limites" by Jose Donoso, "La reina Isabel cantaba rancheras" by Hernan Rivera Letelier, "Retrato en sepia" by Isabel Allende, "Niebla" by Miguel Unamuno and "Cien años de soledad" by Gabriel García Márquez.

In don’t believe and I don't want that the book disappear with the advent of internet, I consider that they are beautiful in paper as well as romantic, they are a great memory to us. Anyway I think that every book must have its version on the web for greater diffusion and scope of the books to the whole society.

In Chile there exists a low level of reading in all the population and the reading comprehension is terrible. For this reason the National Development Plan of Reading was born that aims at encouraging the habit of reading in the broadest sense, reaching as many audiences, with special emphasis on children and youth.
