Our newest candidates

So we have three potential, very interesting, books to read, in the mood for the classics, Saul Bellow or Camus, or maybe reading about a journey in Africa, which one will you vote for?

Rocío suggests: 

My suggestion is for Saul Bellow and his novel "The Adventures of Augie March", that has been said one of the greatest american novels of the 20th century and its opening paragraph is one of the most famous (curious to read it already?). 

Saul Bellow has received the Nobel Prize of literature, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Award for Book Fiction (three times) .

I have just read his life and wikipedia, a very interesting one, so I decided, time to read the 20th century classics... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Bellow

Jorge has two suggestions this time:

"The Stranger" is not merely one of the most widely read novels of the 20th century, but one of the books likely to outlive it. Written in 1946, Camus's compelling and troubling tale of a disaffected, apparently amoral young man has earned a durable popularity (and remains a staple of U.S. high school literature courses) in part because it reveals so vividly the anxieties of its time. Camus won the Nobel Prize in 1957 and was noted for his existentialist aesthetic. The remarkable trick of The Stranger, however, is that it's not mired in period philosophy.

The plot is simple. A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man...

And the second (a Spanish book, feel free to use google translate on the right side to get an instant imperfect translation, but again, instant!):

"El sueño de África", con el subtítulo de «En busca de los mitos blancos del continente negro», es un libro de viajes escrito por Javier Reverte que relata un viaje del autor de varios meses por África oriental. El el primer libro de los 3 que el autor ha escrito sobre este continente, que juntos reúnen la «Trilogía de África».

Publicado en 1996, fue un éxito de ventas y está considerado como uno de los libros de viajes más representativos del género publicados en España.^1 2 La edición dispone de bibliografía e índice alfabético, que permiten que sea utilizada como obra de consulta.
