¿Un libro que cambió mi vida?/ A book that changed my life?

I started reading at 6 years of age, and since then I fell in love with reading, so choosing a single book is very difficult for me; but if I have to describe or define what my favorite or perfect book would be like, I would have to say that it is:

The one who begins to read you hooks and does not let go.

The one that leaves you a teaching, a good flavor and a good memory ...

The one that remains engraved in your mind and from which fragments arrive at the indicated moment.

The one that you have to reread to continue enjoying it, and that causes you sadness to have to abandon it.

The one that made you travel to other places and / or times ...

The one that you have to recommend or comment on, because you feel selfish if you do not do it.

The one that you place on your table at night, as if it were your sanctuary, until another "saint" arrives to take your place

The one you read, regardless of the time, leaving behind any other activity.

When you ask and respond, in a pleasant, cordial and pleasant dialogue ...

As a child and adolescent when I was visiting a house, and I found myself with a library or reading room, it was like entering another dimension: I was walking my eyes, through those rows of books, reading their titles and the one with the strange one or magical? way I felt some connection, I took it to delight with its reading; so I found myself with:
Ana Frank's diary "I confess that I have lived". Pablo Neruda. Juan Salvador Gaviota. Richard Bach. The general in his labyrinth. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. At that time I also read pocket novels that I could exchange in magazine kiosks, with them I learned about stormy loves, crying and suffering, handsome men, princes and knights ...

The book is more than a "thing", it becomes a friend, companion, confidant and confessor, teacher and more ... It shows you the paths you can travel, without forcing you to take any. A book can enlighten you, free you, teach you to live or show you the opportunities of life; it goes beyond feelings, stories, realities; It is one of the most important creations of man and the greatest representative of his culture ...

Along the way I have met many: Doña Bárbara and On the same land (Romulo Gallegos), Chronicle of an announced death and Memoirs of my sad whores (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), The Little Prince (Saint Exupéry), The Perfume ( Patrick Süskind), Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes), The psychoanalyst (John Katzenbach), the science of self-realization (AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada), The seven spiritual laws of success (Deprak Chopra), some of Aghata Christie, The notebook of Maya (Isabel Allende), are some of them and there are many who still hope to read ...

In short there is not for my a favorite book, all at the time they were, all have their spell, for me the favorite is the one I am reading at the moment, the one that captures my attention, falls in love, seduces and accompanies me a season; while the other arrives and everyone at the time changed my life or my perception of her ...

"An open book is a talking brain; closed a waiting friend; forgotten, a soul that forgives; destroyed, a heart that cries. " Hindu proverb
