I try to read just one book at a time and I've been dedicating that slot to the quintology of books (currently on 3 of 5) on the brazilian dictatorship, which lasted 20 years, so there's a lot to read about. It's funny you should say that, because I recently began The Lusiads precisely because it's considered the greatest literary achievement in the portuguese language. It's a nice feeling to know I'm reading a book that's considered the Odyssey of your language. Makes me feel kinda proud. I'm sure there are a lot of great writers from Norway to Iran or any other country I don't know about because their culture is so distant from mine. There must be millions of Saramagos or Melvilles or Machados de Assis around the world.I figured you may have since it's written in Portuguese.
