I read this as part of the Mass Center for the Book's January reading challenge, "Read a book that you have read before that you may feel differently about now." I read this as a 14 year old freshman in high school and think that it went WAY over my head -- I remember not enjoying it and finding it dull. More than 20 years later, I can say that I enjoyed and appreciated it SO much for as an adult. I found it funny, engaging, dark, and devastating. Perfect pick for this prompt!

"¡Palabras! ¡Simples palabras! ¡Qué terribles son! ¡Qué claras y vivas y crueles! ¡Quién puede escapar de ellas! Y, sin embargo, que magia sutil hay en ellas. Parecen capaces de dar forma plástica a cosas informes y tener una música propia tan dulce como la del violín o la del laúd. ¡Simples palabras! Pero ¿hay algo tan real como las palabras?".
Uno de los clásicos de los que he leído recientemente que más me han gustado, tanto por su prosa, como por su contenido.
¿Qué más puedo decir? A veces me intimida bastante reseñar ciertas obras, y esta es una de ellas, así que simplemente diré que he disfrutado muchísimo de la lectura.

The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
