South American Way

New Year's Resolution for a Lifetime Knowledge

I am from South America ( I know you don't know about it) is a reading challenge to dive into the culture of this part of the world.

​

After a couple of years abroad, I noticed 2 things: 

​

  • the first one is people from other continents hardly know about South America. (Yes, I heard people saying Brazil is in Europe, for example). 

  • Then I realized Brazilians do not know much about our neighbors either.

 

Here I will share my steps on this reading journey to correct such character flaws of this brasileña. And maybe, you can get on board with me in this challenge.

​

The Rules Are:

​

  • There will be 13 countries.

  • For each country, I will read at least 2 books (1 Female writer and one Male writer).

  • Enjoying the reading path is the crucial part. The objective is to understand part of the culture and ideas through books, mainly literature. Not to dive into anxiety due to a crazy race against the checklist.

​

So the Goal is 26 books, but as the former Brazilian president said: "We are not going to set a target. We're going to leave an open goal. When we reach the goal, we double the goal."

Ser el eterno forastero, el eterno aprendiz, el eterno postulante: he allí una forma para ser feliz
