The first time I read The Hobbit I was 14. Now, 20 years later I've enjoyed it in English and even the translation is really good, reading Tolkien in his language it's a different thing. The expressiveness of his prose is a really different to the type of English texts I usually read. I'll re-read TLOTR in English some time in the future but as for now, I'll move to a novel into Spanish.

Jorge Sanz reviewed Der Marsianer by Andy Weir
Review of 'The Martian' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Terminado minutos antes de aterrizar en Valencia tras, curiosamente, pasar una semana cerca de gente que está trabajando en llevarnos a marte. La novela es ligera, dinámica y entretenida. El lenguaje coloquial del diario del protagonista y cómo se las ingenia para sobrevivir cuando todo está en contra le lleva a un acelerado final (narrativa, y físicamente).
