Change your life by rolling the dice.

I loved that book very much, as a wonderful escapist idea. I think you’re kind of stuck with who you are and that’s what you’re dealing with. That’s the hand that you’ve been dealt. To escape from the burden of decision is a delightful notion…but nothing more.      fuente

The Bible was not forced on me, I received it like honey, and I found all the stories equally beautiful, from the Creation to the Apocalypse.      fuente
Intercourse book cover
Intercourse
Andrea Dworkin - 2006-11-07 (publicado por primera vez en 1987)
Calificación de Goodreads
A groundbreaking feminist book, Intercourse sparked heated debates and inspired activism when it was first published in 1987. In it, the author argues that in a male-dominated society, sex between men and women is a tool of oppression. The book's provocative message earned its author the nickname "Feminism's Malcolm X." This 20th-anniversary edition has been reissued for a new generation to contemplate Dworkin's idea that women's sexuality is central to their subordination to men. The author's stance may be controversial, but her ferocious intellect and passionate ideals make it impossible to ignore her words.
Leonard Cohen
The whole range of arguments in that book is quite radical and complex and beautiful. It’s the first book I’ve read by an author, masculine or feminine, that has a defiance of the situation, which is deeply subversive in the holy sense – it’s other-worldly.      fuente

The Collected Poems
A Bilingual Edition (Revised)
Federico García Lorca - 2002-08-12 (publicado por primera vez en 1962)
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the complete poetical work of one of the most influential modernist writers in the world, Federico García Lorca. This revised edition, edited by a leading García Lorca scholar, delves into the complex and charismatic figure's exploration of nature, personal identity, sex, childhood, and death. With powerful imagery and unforgettable poems, García Lorca's work remains a significant contribution to Spanish and world literature.
Leonard Cohen
I was fifteen when I began to read Federico Garcia Lorca. His poems perhaps have had the greatest influence on my texts. He summoned up a world where I felt at home. His images were sensual and mysterious.      fuente
Dublineses book cover
Dublineses
James Joyce - 2001-03-15 (publicado por primera vez en 1914)
Calificación de Goodreads
En esta colección de sutiles relatos que James Joyce comenzó a escribir en 1904 y que será publicada completa sólo diez años después, luego de tortuosas peripecias editoriales, pueden leerse anticipaciones del estilo y la compleja visión del mundo que desarrollará después en su obra capital 'Ulises'. Dublineses puede leerse, y efectivamente lo es, como un minucioso fresco de un lugar y una época. Traducción y prólogo de Marcos Mayer.
Leonard Cohen
That paragraph. It’s not the work of an author, but maybe five lines. It’s those five lines that will get me reluctantly to explore the rest of the guy’s work. But that paragraph I’ve never forgotten. There’s that paragraph ‘Snow was general all over Ireland.’ It described the snow. It’s Montreal. It’s our snow, our black iron gates in Montreal. It was perfect.      fuente
