My favorite book: The Silmarillion

At a very young age, I read my first Tolkien book. It was The Hobbit. Since that time, JRR Tolkien has been my favorite writer. Along the years I've had the chance to find other books he wrote that are not so easy to find in local libraries, so it's been a long journey across the Middle Earth and it's stories.

My favorite book it's The Silmarillion, a collection of Tolkien stories about (what he called) The First Age of the Sun. It was edited and published by Christopher Tolkien, his son, years after he died. The stories from this book ocurred long time before the stories from the books we all know, like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. They are much more epic and have a mythological purpose, it's the stories of how everyhting started and the battles and adventures of the heroes that came before. I could read it a hundred times and never get bored, it's simply magic.

Right now, I'm reading the third volume of Song of Fire and Ice, the saga written by George RR Martin - Game of Thrones saga. It's called A Storm of Swords, and it's a really fun book. Once you start reading it, ther'esno way to stop, because the way the stories are written makes you feel very intrigued about what's going to happen next, and it's not always a good thing. The last thing I read was the Red Wedding. Those who have seen the HBO tv series or read the books will understand, it's a big climax in the story.
