15 BOOKS I WISH I HAD READ IN HIGH SCHOOL

EXTRACT

‘I’ve always loved to read. I was the kid in high school who, when we watched the film adaptation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 12th grade English, insisted that I read the book first. So, for those few days that the rest of the class watched the movie as a group, I literally scooted my desk out into the hallway with the paperback instead.

Major eye roll, I know.

Given my education, I’ve often wondered how my love of reading began. This is because the offerings in my middle school and high school English classes were pretty limited and far from interesting. And I gather that many people have had similar learning experiences. This is why, about 20 years and a few English degrees later, I’ve compiled a list of the 15 books I wish I had read in high school. I hope the list will come in handy for those young people who, like me in the 90’s, have an inkling that they love literature but lack sufficient guidance as to what to read next.’

Encontré este libro casualmente (¿casualmente?)

Ayer estuve en la biblioteca -@brmu- buscando libros de Marcos Giralt Torrente. Me gustó mucho un artículo suyo publicado recientemente en El País -@el_pais- (cf. Habitantes de lo efímero, MARCOS GIRALT TORRENTE, 15.08.2022) y quise saber más del autor.

Tecleé su nombre en el catálogo de la biblioteca (@brmu) y encontré varios libros. Escribe, Marcos Giralt, novela y relato breve. Empezó a publicar textos en revistas.

Pero, antes de salir de la planta baja del edificio me llamó la atención el mensaje de un libro impreso en el lomo. Decía así: ‘Lo estás deseando‘. Cogí el ejemplar y leí la contraportada.

“En diciembre de 2017 Kristen Roupenian publicó en el New Yorker el relato ‘Un tipo con gatos’, que se convirtió de inmediato en uno de los más comentados y que más revuelo ha generado entre los publicados por la revista, junto con los ya clásicos ‘La lotería’ de Shirley Jackson y ‘Brokeback Mountain’ de Annie Proulx.”

Open up your dial pad, type in the secret code, press the call button, and be amazed at the feature that appears. Some features are specifically for Androids or iPhones only, and a few service providers have even deactivated the secret code. You just have to try to find out!’
