The Great Gatsby por F. Scott Fitzgerald.
If tu saw the movie, believe me tu need to read it for a real experience.
If tu haven't read it, make sure tu do before your time comes. If tu have, then tu know why I think it's the single greatest novel I've ever read. The symbolism and the colorful descripción Fitzgerald employs are like the writings of God..no joke.
For example:
"The wind had blown off, leaving a loud, bright night, with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life." (pg 20)
"The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cóctel, coctel music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier minuto por minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. The groups change más swiftly, swell with new arrivals, dissolve and form in the same breath; already there were wanderers, confident girls who weave here and there among the stouter and más stable, become for a sharp, joyous moment the center of a group, and then, excited with triumph, glide on through the sea-change of faces and voices and color under the constantly changing light. (pg. 21)
That's just the small taste, tu guys really got to read this. And if you're a raging romantic like me, this is definitely a novel for you. It's an oddly tragic spin on a lifestyle that seems to be anything but tragic, beautifully written and always good every time tu read it.
If tu don't like really frothy romantic stuff, though, tu can still enjoy the excellent escritura and the interesting plot dynamic. :)
Btw, I suffer from a raging crush on Carey Mulligan after seeing the film XD....
;) Read it!

Diem Mirabilis
Morning:
for Morning is made
of mysteries and uncertainties
the hopes of beginnings
the risks of unknowns
the potential for greatness
o failure
Midday:
for Midday is the height
of the glory of the sun
the climax of twenty-four hours
the brightness that blinds and clarifies
the respuestas once hidden
now unveiled
Sunset:
for Sunset arrives
with the final shift of the sky
the afterglow of the triumph
the sweetness of the last drop
the closing chapter of a story
and the beginning...
of a new one.
This is a small poem I wrote a while back.I hope tu like it, please tell me what tu think
Thank you
-Aurora
The Wind is cold against her skin
Numbing her body perfectly,
Erasing the pain she knew all to well
Escaping her problems if only for a moment
The chill of the breeze whispering to her
"Just do it" it taunted, "You know tu want to"
Each time, the voice got louder
Beckoning her to let go, end it all
Was it worth it
Some would say no
But to her it was everything
Yet the voices called to her
"Let go, Let got, ... Let Go"
Thank you

as if tu gave me a choice
everything about tu i loved
all other feelings aside i shoved
on your every word i hung
and even among
a crowd, only tu i see
nowhere else i would rather be
these feelings for you, that are kept inside
i can no longer hide
everything about tu i admire
tu are all i desire
so kind, so sweet, so passionate
everytime our eyes met
my corazón would race
while looking at your smiling face
full of buety, life, and joy
with my emotions tu play like a toy
like a wild beast, my emotions cannot be tame
and i don't even know your name
