Who I am and why I created The Order of Books
My name is Guillermo and I love to read.. I imagine that if you've been here you've noticed. This project arose as an idea to organize the books and try to put some order into that tangle of titles that each saga comprises.
What was a simple web project ended up becoming a way to explore the current and classic literature, talk about authors, sagas, curiosities and a way to continue writing for others. I have written stories, compilations and some books that I will leave you later.
Also as the creator of eltecnologuia.com and lover of Artificial Intelligence I have also created two bots, a Book Recommender to get out of doubts if you don't know what to read or give as a gift and another chatbot for Summarize Books with a click, fully functional, that will help you decide if you are interested in the topic.
The idea is to continue and continue. To continue reading, writing and helping to bring reading to everyone at a time when I think it is absolutely necessary to be able to enjoy a good read, get out of the maelstrom of social networks and pay attention to take your foot off the accelerator and achieve calm through reading.
We have to go back to the origins, to claim a good book. To smell it, touch it, share it, enjoy it… I love technology, it shows, and I don't think it should be at odds with reading, but I do think we should encourage the latter in order to complete a circle that increasingly asks us to return to our origins.
And if you fancy it, I'll leave you below the little essay I wrote after a rather interesting period in my life and how I changed forever:
And take care of yourself —and read— a lot…
- Perez, Guillermo (Author)
Hello Guillermo:
I really liked the way you presented it, with relatable examples and that clear tone that's a pleasure to read. It's curious—or perhaps inevitable—how many of these techniques end up appearing naturally to those of us who have spent years immersed in books. In my case, I always left handwritten notes after each reading, like a little mental travel note. I did this on the rectangular-lined index cards and left them inside each book. And I assure you, over the years, they become one of the best memory maps one can have.
What your article made me reflect on isn't so much because it's new, but because it remains necessary to remember it. In a world where we read more on screens than on paper, and where attention spans are short, recovering these habits is almost an act of resistance.
Thank you for putting it on the table so clearly.
A hug, mate!
