In a bookshelf, all books might look the same, rectangular shaped volumes, stacked one next to the other. By looking the same, you might also think the all have the same function. It is until you open these books that you realize that you were wrong. If you think about it, each book is a mysterious world waiting to be discovered, and the only way of discovering each and every of these worlds is by opening that hard and non attractive shell that all books share in common.
There is also something very particular about books, about their simplicity, and how with such simplicity, they can still take you to places we would never think of, or teach you about very specific topics, with out you even moving from your seat. This is what I call mystery, a power that only books have, that makes reading so pleasant, and that has made books keep up, or even overcome computers and technology itself. That's what makes books so interesting.

My favorite book is one that every time I read it, it gives me a new perspective of things, one that by reading it over and over, it still gives me thousands of new ideas to thing about, and most importantly it still makes me dream like the first time I read it. Such book is called "100 Years of Solitude" by Colombian writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This novel tells the story of a family living in a fictional town, their struggles as well as history of the town itself, through a uncertain period of time, that may seem as 100 years but is never specified. It is a perfect example of Garcia Marquez's Magic Realism, literary style that mixes historical facts, with fiction.
