Last thing for a while, I swear...

... I just finished reading this book for one of my classes (I normally don't read much unless I have to. lol). It's called "El Señor Presidente" by Miguel Angel Asturias. You can get it translated in English, and it's just called "The President". But if any of you enjoy reading and especially are interested in learning about some aspect of South/Central America, I highly recommend this book. The whole story is about the corruptions that go on in that part of the world, and it's really quite fascinating... yet sad at the same time. Kind of hard to believe that stuff like that actually does exist when we in North America have so many freedoms... but the story is based on truth. Anyways, it's become my favourite book ever. So definitely check it out if you have the chance. :)
