Some weeks ago walking by a street market I came across the book Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster, the only information I knwe about this book prior this was that it inspired Kyoko Mizuki when writting Candy Candy, for me that was enough and it was just 2 dollars, of course I needed to buy it.

First thoughts I had, I had no idea it was formatted as Judy's letters to Daddy Long Legs, I was so surprised when I read the book index! One singular chapter and then all letters! I hoped they weren't as boring as some other books I've read with that kind of format, but I was so wrong! Judy as a character is just so charismatic about absolutely everything, her point of view and the way she lives her life are written in the most fun, funny and interesting way, it was better than anything I ever imagined. I fell in love with the book in just 2 days.

I don't remember how many days it took me to finish it, maybe a week, more or less, it was a short book so I couldn't handle myself very well. I read the slowest possible so it wouldn't end so fast.

And the reveal at the end! Of course I knew! It was so obvious, it made me so absolutely happy, it's been a long time since a book made me feel that way, I enjoyed every second.

I can't recommend this book enough, I'm not that capable of describing every little bit because of the language barrier, but if you ever found this book remotely interesting give it a chance!

It's free shipping week or something on the site I buy books sometimes and I'm having this book fever!!!!! I really, REALLY, want to buy Good Omens but it's like 15 dollars and it's so hard for me to spend money, ughhh. It's also not available on spanish so the book is more expensive for that reason. I don't know if I should really buy it.... I know I will like it, I've read some of it because I have it downloaded on my phone (Found it somewhere on the net), but having the real thing in my hands it always feels better. Maybe I'll uptade about this.

I'm not well informed on philosophy since I started to get interested by it after I read Demian by Hermann Hesse (that also woke up in me my interest in religion / I'm not religious). It was such a good book too, I recommend it to everyone that's looking for a "finding yourself" narrative. It's a little funny, because I hated philosophy class on school, I do think it's tedious most of the time, but it doesn't have to be like the way they teached me in school, obviously, I'm enjoying it more now that I'm more mature and understand better this topics, I still have a long way, and the way really is endless, so I can enjoy it more.

Here's a list of books I would like to read:
  • Meditaciones by Marco Aurelio

  • La resistencia by Ernesto Sabato

  • Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse

  • On the shortness of Life by Seneca

NOTICE: While I was wiritng this entry I went to say goodnight to my dad and he was reading a book about stoicism. He actually just bought that one book and the first one on my list! "Meditaciones", so I'm very excited to read it.
