  3. I recently enjoyed Raul Ramos Y Sanchez' American Libre. I plan to use it in my literature class. There were a lot of political arguments presented in this novel that parallel historical evemts that have occured in the Middle East and other countries.

  10. I'd have to say House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. I feel that it's a classic. The vignettes are so real, and the little girl voice that Sandra Cisneros uses is just perfect.

  11. My favorite discovery by a Latin American is that of Dr. Bernardo Alberto Houssay's discovery of the role played by anterior pituitary hormones in the metabolism of carbohydrates particularly in diabetes mellitus. His findings stimulated the study of hormonal feedback control mechanisms which are central to all aspects of modern endocrinology.

  23. Hey Gaby

    The last book I read in Spanish was Arturo Perez-Reverte's La reina del Sur (the Queen of the South). It is an action packed well written story which I hear will be brought to the big screen shortly. I will keep my fingers crossed for your lot of books, they sound great!
