"Las batallas en el desierto" by José Emilio Pacheco. This is wholly a great book. I really enjoyed it when I read it. There is a Mexican band called Café Tacuba, they have a song that talks about the story of this book. Here you are the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMaxO5UCxIU Over the years it has gone down as one of the greatest Latin American books, and in 1987 was made into a film. This film is called "Mariana, Mariana" by the way.

Recently, I was looking for some books to improve my English level. It isn't an easy task... Finally, I choose several bestsellers. Althougt it isn't my favourite kind of book, my choices have the perfect level for improve my English level and enjoy with the reading (not too easy but not too difficult). If you are in the same situation, I will recomend you * Dime quien soy, by Julia Navarro * Espia de dios, by Juan Gomez Jurado The books which Jesus has recommended you are two good choices too. About films, I think it is more complicated, specially if you will wacht it without subtitles. Here I go with some ideas: * Que se mueran los feos (comedy) * El secreto de sus ojos (thriller) * Celda 211 (thriller) If you tell us what kind of novels and films are your favorite, maybe we will help you with better recomendations. Regards!
