I've always been more of a book person than a movie person or a series person. I read very quickly, it's my favorite hobby. 

My favorite book is called "El obsceno pájaro de la noche", by the Chilean writer José Donoso. This book was written in 1970 and narrates two parallel stories at the same time, which don't make much sense until you reach the end of the book. 

My favorite scene in this book are the memories of Humberto Peñaloza, who appears in both stories, but with a different identity. In these, he relates his days in La Rinconada, lands of the millionaire Azcotia family. This place was born after Jerónimo Azcotia asked Humberto to create a special and separate place to raise his son Boy, because he was a malformed child according to the book. 

In La Rinconada live only people who are considered "phenomena", which come from different parts of the world. There are many people with peculiar physical conditions, who live in good conditions and are remunerated for making Boy feel like one more, without noticing his condition of "deformity".

This is my favorite part of the book because it made me understand the parallel story told in the book, since Humberto changes his identity and becomes in the Mudito, who works in a nursing home that is also a orphanage.
