suggestions please

The second goal I have for myself is to read a few more books in Spanish. Partly because I want to keep up with my education in Spanish having never received a formal one but rather what I picked up at home which makes the subjects I can speak eloquently on rather limited.
The other reason is tHAT I really want Marcie and Stigs to speak Spanish as part of their lives, not just something they understand but that they actually use and live with. I speak to them in Spanish most if the time but I have come to realize that my vocabulary is kind of limited to domestic things and that I need to broaden my own horizons by reading more in spanish. Novels, maybe the newspapers, I guess movies help a lot. Yes, definitely more movies. if anyone has any authors to suggest I would appreciate it.

On an unrelated note. This was part of my train ride tonight on the way home from drinks with a friend who is moving to Austin tomorrow morning

I think his friends dared him or something. I'm not sure. He was holding a big bible and was reading from some religious pamphlet. People on the train were ignoring him but seemed rather amused that I took out my camera to make a little video.

check out El lugar sin limites by Donoso if you're in the mood for fiction. It's rather brilliant. And short stories by Julio Cortazar. Short stories are good reading for busy moms, I find.
