There are many books that have changed my life or at least my perception of the world. But I remember a novel called “La enfermedad”, by a Venezuelan writer called Alberto Barrera T. I remember that I read that novel when my father was sick and at the suggestion of a colleague, who lent it to me. I started reading it at 1 o'clock in the morning one day and finished reading it at 3 o'clock in the morning. I could not stop reading and at the end, when I closed the book, what I did was cry. Years later, I realized that this book prepared me for my father's death. Ah, I am one of those that if I like a book, it becomes my gift to all my friends. So for a year I kept giving away that book by Alberto Barrera and all my friends thanked me for it. I am a faithful believer that those who read a lot are not subject to live only one life, nor do they live alone in this world. A hug, my friend
