Rizal's novel in Spanish

Wow! That was a long break from updating my blog. Altho I was always reading other people's blog. Every now and then I still check up on Dean Jorge. I miss Manolo's erudite essays. I assume he is still busy helping P-Noy. (Update April 14, 2012: Manolo is still around, I found out. It is only his column in the Inquirer that is not there anymore.)

The past year was study, study, study of troubles between other people. I refer to jurisprudence that were assigned by my professors. That will be a subject of another blog, if I can have the time.

For now let me turn to Rizal. I told my classmates, via Facebook of course, that let's forget lawbooks for a while; get a life; balance our worldview by reading other books. One commented, why not the Bible since it is Easter season. Well, been there, done that. I am past the Bible, thankfully.

Why not Rizal in the original Spanish? And I found the e-pub here.

Thanks to Jellby for converting into e-pub Rizal's two novels. And I share his sentiment when he said: "It is sad that most Filipinos today can't read this novel in the original Spanish."


So this summer, before another semester of law school is upon me, I'm gonna read these in the original Spanish. If only to put to good use my iPad. And yes, I should do an assessment of the iPad after 2 semesters of using it in law school.  This was my first impression of the iPad.
