I'm sick of believing that I need to perform attractiveness to be worthy of romantic attention. I'd love to believe that is not true. There are SO MANY STORIES - especially in movies - with a hot woman falling for an ugly man. I'd like to see a role reversal. No romantasy please - I want to believe that this is possible within the bounds of OUR universe.

EDIT: NO MAKEOVER STORIES PLEASE.

Hello, I'm looking to build up a reading list from around the world, and I'd love your recommendations! Unfortunately my Spanish is very elementary, so I'm limited by English translations.

To give you an idea of my taste, I've previously read and enjoyed Mariana Enriquez (inhaled Our Share of the Night/ Nuestra Parte de Noches and one of her short story collections), Agustina Bazterrica (just bought another of her books today!), and Itama Viejar Junior. I've just begun Roberto Bolaño's Our Night in Chile/ Nocturno de Chile), and Galeano (Open Veins of Latin America) and Borges are on my list.

I'd prefer fiction, but also open to non-fiction (especially history or contemporary politics). I'd also love to know why you think the author/books are underrated / why you love them. :)
