Good Books to read

[guandulera]

I have not been reading in Spanish for the longest and I miss my reading . I love to read and I would apreciate some sugestions about good books of spanish authors. What's hot in DR? Who is a good author? I prefer true events. I'm not much of a fiction reading. Thanks

I hope you get some good responses, because I generally like non fiction too. Maybe whoever posts some examples could summarize the "perception" of the author. Being an American I sometimes get tired of reading articles,etc. that have such a slanted anti western opinion. An example are some of the politically themed articles where the author just assumes every political system is just as corrupt as their own country.

I have been out of the country for so long that I almost forgot that frase "el diache" oh and thank you I will apreciate el detalle

the bookstore is actually called Cuesta. It is sort of a DR barnes and noble setup. +

I recommend you buy the new novel, Candela, published by the prestigious LatAm house, Alfaguaro. FOrgot the author's name, but he is a young Dominican making a name for himself.

the phrase is not el diache, by the way, but diantre and it is a euphemistic way of sayin "hell."

¡El diache! - ¡El diantre!

Both sayings are used in the DR.
