¿Qué reseña le haces a un clásico, aparte de que es verdad lo que dicen de que todo el mundo debería leerlo al menos una vez en la vida?
Desde las elecciones de EEUU, no he parado de ver listas de "Libros Prohibidos" que la gente recomendaba antes de que "fuese demasiado tarde". Son títulos que llevo escuchando toda la vida pero que, hasta ahora, no había sentido el impulso de leer como si de verdad tuviesen un tiempo limitado.
Creo que esas listas tienen razón, pero no por el motivo que creía inicialmente. Todavía no es demasiado tarde, pero cada vez está más cerca.
