Livros clássicos brasileiros

• I’ve often see a lot of european classic books been recommended here, but all cultures and contries have their own classics, including Brazil. We often need to read than in school (and usually that make most part of us hate classics), but I’ve read some of them after graduating school and I’ve liked a lot of them! So there’s a list for brazilian fellas and foreign friends who may be interested in brazilian culture and literature!

• Eu costumo ver muitos livros clássicos europeus sendo recomendados aqui, mas todas as culturas e paises tem seus clássicos, inclusive o Brasil. Nós comumente temos que ler eles na escola (e geralmente isso faz a maioria de nós odiar clássicos), mas eu li alguns deles depois de me graduar na escola e gostei de muitos!

“Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will figure out what inspires you, you will curate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity, and when you do meet the person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it, because you are sure of yourself.”
