  6. Haruki Murakami _ Dance Dance Dance

    You live by yourself for a stretch of time and you get to staring at different objects. Sometimes you talk to yourself. You take meals in crowded joints. You develop an intimate relationship with your used Subaru. You slowly but surely become a has-been.

  7. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Everything Is Illuminated

    Mesa, adorno de marfil, arcoíris, cebolla, peinado, molusco, Sabbat, violencia, cutícula, melodrama, cuneta, miel, pañuelo... Nada la conmovía. {...} Nada conseguía ser más de lo que era en realidad. Eran solo cosas, prisioneras de su propia esencia.
