Would You Rather Book Tag!

This week's tag is Would You Rather: Book Edition! The original tag was created by RayKayBooks on Youtube {check it out here}. Let's get into it!

Would You Rather...

1. Read only trilogies or stand alones?

For me to read trilogies or long series it's kinda hard. The first book has to really get me hanged on the series so I keep reading the books. Also, a lot of my favorite books are single books, so I choose stand alones.

2. Read only female or male authors?

When I start a new book I don't really care about the author, I just care about the story. I have both male and female authors favorite books, so it's hard for me to choose. But, I'm going with male authors because my favorite books ever are wrote by male authors.

3. Shop at Barnes & Noble or Amazon?

Well, here in Chile, we don't have Barnes & Noble, but it's also hard for me to buy through Amazon because I don't own a credit card yet. So I'm going with book shops like Barnes & Noble.

4. All books become movies or TV shows?

I'm so forgetful with things that it's so hard for me to keep up with TV shows, so I prefer movies than TV shows, so I can watch it without forgetting.

5. Read 5 pages per day or 5 books per week?

If I had enough time I would totally read 5 book per week, but my free time it's so short sometimes that I just have time for -sadly- 5 pages per day.

6. Be a professional reviewer or author?

This is so hard for me! Because I love reviewing books and share with you guys my thoughts, but if I could write really awesome books it would be a dream come true. I just can't choose one!

7. Only read your top 20 favorite books over and over or always read new ones that you haven't read before?

I really like to read new things and get into different genres, but I also adore my favorites and I wouldn't change them.

8. Be a librarian or book seller?

I  think that if I had to choose one of this, would be to become a bookseller, because you can interact a little bit more with other people and getting recommendations from another reader.

9. Only read your favorite genre, or every genre except your favorite?

I would only read my favorite genre, because there's thousand books of the genre that I like that I can discover that way.

10. Only read physical books or eBooks?

I 100% prefer real books, even though I read a lot of eBooks, but you can't compare all of the sensations you get with a real book. Don't tell me you don't love the smell of a new book.

Book Review: Blindness by José Saramago

Blindness - Essay on Blindness by Jose Saramago (1997)

A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and assaulting women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides her charges—among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears—through the barren streets, and their procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. As Blindness reclaims the age-old story of a plague, it evokes the vivid and trembling horrors of the twentieth century, leaving readers with a powerful vision of the human spirit that's bound both by weakness and exhilarating strength.

Blindness or Essay on Blindness is a book written by Jose Saramago and was published in English in October 1997. This book gives you a metaphor on the twentieth century problems in a "white blindness" form.

I'm not going to lie; I read this book for school and I think it was so good that I had to review it. Also, because I had so much work to do for my classes that I couldn't read a new book. 

This book made me just speechless. I really love the concept of it and how Saramago represents the problems that our society lives with this disease that affect some people. We can see how this plague destroys society. This book has some beautiful yet breathtaking quotes, like:

“I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.”

“The difficult thing isn't living with other people, it's understanding them.”

“If we cannot live entirely like human beings, at least let us do everything in our power not to live entirely like animals.”

“Perhaps only in a world of the blind will things be what they truly are.”

This book was also made into a movie released in 2008 starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, which I haven't watch yet but I'm totally hoping to watch.

To me this book is totally amazing and I 100% recommend it.
