To Read:

I've always been an avid reader, lately though I have been reading less, somehow I have lost interest in the kind of books that once used to please me. That's the reason I decided to make a list of the books that I'll like to read and the reason behind my decision to that certain choice.

1. Freakonomics


I've wanted to read this book for quite a while, since the first time I saw it at a local (an personal favorite library). It's content seems very interesting because it gives another approach to the side of economies that not all want to discuss.

2. Atonement

This is one of my favorites movies, it's different, it's tragic, but somehow the story seems a bit more approachable than the happy unrealistic finish that many movies have. Also, I'm a true believer that books are better than movies, when you read you feel all the emotions of the characters as if it were yours.

3. Anna Karenina

After I read a short story by Tolstoy I have always been interested in reading this book by him. The summary seems quite intriguing and very fascinating.

4.Superfreakonomics

Sequel of "Freakonomics", basically want to read it for the sames reasons.

5. Persuasion

Jane Austen is my favorite classical author after I read "Pride and Prejudice". Her wit and perception of the society and relationships are what made her such an amazing writer, besides being too advanced to the time that she lived in.

P.S: This are not listed in order of importance. And there are probably more books, I just can't remember.
