Here you recommended reading for 2008. Are I selected twelve books including I read in 2007, twelve, so you can spend one month each (it is true that there are some rather large, but others can give a good account in a couple of evenings). On some of them have published articles in the past twelve months. In the past two years copying its suggestive beginnings.
The selection, of course, is totally arbitrary. The only criteria was that I found pleasure in reading these books and wanted to share with you. There are new releases or reissues of fashion. On the contrary. The editorial concept of novelty is in the field of business management and in no case to literature. Today it seems that books that have more than six months out of date. So this list is intended as a modest rebellion against the dictatorship of the banal.
By the way, if someone wasted time and money on the recommendations for 2007 and want to use as missiles one of those books, now is the time to do it.

"A while ago I was walking around the room and suddenly it occurred to me that he saw for the first time. There are two cots, chairs sprawled and without seats, sun-roasted daily, months old, glued to the window instead of glass. "
- On Heroes and Tombs, Ernesto Sabato (Seix Barral)
" Initial investigations revealed that the former Mirador serving to Alejandra bedroom was locked from inside Alejandra's own. Then (although, of course, can not specify the time elapsed) killed his father of four shots with a 32 caliber pistol. Finally, he threw gasoline and burned.
This tragedy, which shook Buenos Aires for the relief of that old family from Argentina, might seem at first the result of a sudden fit of madness. But now new evidence has altered the original scheme. A strange "Report on blind, Fernando Vidal finished writing the night of his death, was discovered in the department, under an assumed name, occupied in Villa Devoto. It is, according to our references, the manuscript of a paranoid. But yet they say that it is possible to infer certain interpretations that shed light on the crime and made assign the hypothesis of an act of madness to a more scary scenario. If that inference is correct, also explain why Alejandra did not commit suicide with one of the two bullets that remained in the gun, preferring to burn alive. "
