Understanding Oral Spanish

Lately I have been focusing on Spanish Listening Comprehension rather than reading books. The books are still important to me, and I will return to them soon.

Some Books are Read in English

I am reading Pedro Paramos by Juan Rulfo in English translation. In my list below, I am reading all of the books in Spanish. Here I will report what I read in English, for I don't have the money to buy a copy of everything in Spanish. Plus it would take too long, anyway.

Not Trying To Be A Scholar!

This is not about intellectuality, being scholarly, looking smart, etc. I'm trying to understand Spanish deeply, to tap the nuances. Lots of very good reading will help me to do this. I want to get to know that Latin soul...

List Of Spanish and Latin American Books

I am going to read these books for my portfolio (part of a college degree EQUIVALENCY!) and write quality essays on each. Please be patient, for it will take me a while to construct this list.
