Tres Lindas Cubanas

When I first start reading it I thought it was boring and tedious but after a few chapters I started to enjoy some of the descriptions, I wouldn't recommend it as a must-read book, but I think its interesting for analyzing the way of thinking of a certain Mexican upper-class with academic aspirations (as far as I know). Being Mexican there are a lot of things that I don't like about politics and education in Mexico and I think that reading this book is a nice way to discover most of them, as he points out in some part of the book, “no one likes it but that's the way it goes” sadly most of the time its true.

I do like the approach it takes to Cuban culture, specially music and literature, I think it's a friendly way to known a little bit about Cuba, maybe it could be considered too superficial but I think that is what makes it a good first contact to the culture, and if someone is interested can get a full list of authors and books from the last century along with a good idea of some of the main characteristics of each author.
