- podcast recommendations in spanish for bookworms
hello! lately i’ve been using podcasts to augment my readings, find new things to read, and expose myself to new tactics of literary criticism, so here are some podcasts i’ve been enjoying. as a general tip, if you put the name of the book you’re reading or its author in the spotify search bar you will probably find an analysis or an interview, so try it out! ¡feliz lectura!
tema libre: my favorite on the list. from editorial anagrama, two authors discuss whatever they’d like (hence the name). my favorite episode is this one with mariana enrĂquez and kiko amat.
un libro una hora: just what it sounds like. they pick a book each episode and talk about it. meant for after you’ve read the book, since they do go into spoilers. they talk about literature from all over the world, not just from spanish speaking authors
tropebusters: not specifically literature, but they analyze a popular trope in literature, film, and pop culture in each episode. here’s one about humans vs ai
las ñoñas: discussion of varied authors with thematic music to accompany. i found them while looking for reviews on cadáver exquisito, so check out this episode.
cine aparte: it’s actually film, sorry! i’m in a film class right now so i’ve been treating film like literature for studying. this podcast analyzes both new releases and cult classics.
patio interior: another podcast of discussion of varied authors, but the episodes tend to be shorter so you can give it a quick listen and see if you want to read what they’ve recommended.

what are some spanish books you'd recommend? (i'm probably about a high schooler in terms of reading comprehension, but if you have any difficult/gritty recommendations, that would be perfect) muchos gracias :D
(An anon sent in a similar question looking for B1/B2 level books)
One of the better contemporary authors of what you might consider YA fiction is Laura Gallego GarcĂa so I'd recommend her especially if you like fantasy.
I first found about her from Las memorias de IdhĂşn. If you're on Netflix, you can see an anime based on it called "The Idhun Chronicles" - and one of the main actresses is Michelle Jenner who is an extremely well-known Spanish actress [she played Isabel in the well-known historical drama Isabel about the Catholic Monarchs in Reconquista times]
If anyone has any other suggestions, please write them in
Other books/stories you might like:
Esperanza renace by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Como agua para chocolate by Laura Esquivel
La casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
La sombra del viento by Carlos Ruiz ZafĂłn [fairly advanced]
La casa de los espĂritus by Isabel Allende [somewhat advanced]
El Conde Lucanor by Don Juan Manuel [advanced at times; but it's styled like fables or multiple short stories]
El burlador de Sevilla y el convidado de piedra by Tirso de Molina [advanced at times with language, but very easy to follow; also a play]
I would also say look into translations of things like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or Hunger Games [Los juegos del hambre] and other YA fiction that is more geared towards highschoolers and teenagers because the language used is not as complex but still really useful. Also, many 1st person novels are really good for showing you the yo forms of a lot of verbs especially irregular verbs.
Also some people really recommend El alquimista "the Alchemist" in the Spanish version by Paulo Coelho. It's a very well-known book for high schoolers though it is somewhat advanced in places
PS Also gotta recommend Hombres necios que acusáis by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. It's a poem, but it reads like the rawest slam poetry you've ever heard and also still frighteningly relevant in feminism
-
You may also enjoy short stories. If one author has multiple stories I'll just include the name once in the list. Some of these are translations of other short stories you'll probably know of which helps the comprehension better!
El rubĂ by RubĂ©n DarĂo
La ninfa
El velo de la reina Mab
La muerte de la emperatriz de China
El palacio del sol
Blancanieves [Snow White] by the Brothers Grimm
Rumpelstiltskin
Pulgarcito [Tom Thumb]
La Cenicienta [Cinderella]
Cuentos by Esopo [or, "Aesop's Fables"]
El barril de amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe
Los crĂmenes de la calle Morgue
La máscara de la muerte roja
El loco de Sevilla by Miguel de Cervantes [a story within a story; it's from Don Quixote, but it's a very well-known vignette in the novel]
La pastora Marcela [also a story within a story; some frame of reference, Don Quixote is riding around and comes across a funeral and people are accusing a shepherdess Marcela of spurning this dude's love and he couldn't handle it - Marcela then appears out of nowhere and drags everyone and we love to see it]
Cine Prado by Elena Poniatowska
El regalo de los Reyes Mago [The Gift of the Magi] by O. Henry
La sirenita [The Little Mermaid] by Hans Christian Andersen
Caperucita Roja [Little Red Riding Hood] by Charles Perrault
La Bella Durmiente [Sleeping Beauty]
Las mil y una noches [1001 Nights] by Anonymous
La muñeca menor by Rosario Ferré
El almohadĂłn de plumas by Horacio Quiroga
La noche boca arriba by Julio Cortázar
Los dos reyes y los dos laberintos by Jorge Luis Borges
Biblioteca Digital Ciudad Seva
This is my usual go-to for reading classics translated into Spanish [there's also the Gutenberg Project if you're looking for ebooks]
Just some general advice:
-Anything by Cervantes is quite old and you will need to find a more modern version or you'll end up with some very antiquated spellings and grammar. He wrote Don Quixote and some other short stories/plays, and all of his mini-stories from Don Quixote are the same general difficulty.
-I do love Borges but for God's sake DO NOT read El jardĂn de los senderos que se bifurcan "The Garden of Forking Paths". It is advanced, and confusing even for native speakers. I mean this is a story people dedicate a thesis on to try and unravel. It's the kind of thing that you read, you read the wikipedia/rincĂłn del vago entries, and reread and still get confused
-If you're feeling like you want a good challenge, try reading El Popol Vuh which is a book of Maya myths/history/etc, and it's an extremely important in indigenous cultures and history. People have called it the Maya Book of Genesis [though be aware the original translation was done by a Dominican friar named Francisco Ximénez, and there are some modernized versions]
...
Also, speaking of RincĂłn del Vago is like a Spanish version of Sparknotes. I'm not saying you should be using it to do your homework, but if you happen to find something like Alice in Wonderland / Alicia en el paĂs de las maravillas you can read through the entry in Spanish as reading practice

50 nouns in Spanish
I tried to narrow these down to nouns you might find useful in everyday life to beef up your vocab
el calvario = an ordeal, agony / an arduous task that one must undertake, “one’s cross to bear”
[lit. “Calvary”, referring to the place Jesus was crucified; in Spanish el calvario is interpreted as “stations of the cross” or the reenactments of the Passion of Christ… but in common Spanish, el calvario is used as “a task that is pretty much torture” or something that someone feels they must do… “a cross to bear” in the same etymology]

I am loving your site. Wish there was a better way to search the archives. Do verbs like gustar/encantar (I know mucho gusto) ever used in conjugations other than pronominal third person?
So mucho gusto is using el gusto "pleasure" as a noun
But yes, you can use gustar/encantar in other conjugations
If you're using indirect objects, it's the object that's actually conjugating things; me gusta is translated as "I like it" but it's more literally "it pleases me" or "it gives me joy"
So te gusto is "you like me"... but literally "I give you joy", and me gustas is "I like you" but literally "you give me joy"
That's why it can be confusing for people
Most verbs with indirect objects work like that: me preocupas is literally "you worry me", me molestas "you annoy me", me importas "you matter to me", me interesas "you interest me", me das miedo "you scare me", me das asco "you disgust me"
-
With gustar they tell you up and down in school not to use gustar on its own, but I have seen native speakers say gusto "I like it" or gustas "you like it"
I don't know if that's universal, my friend that used to say that a lot was from Puerto Rico... but it happens
She loved to say gusta by itself to mean something like “that’s cool”
-
As for encantar you definitely can use it like a regular verb though it means something different
When used with indirect objects, encantar means "to really like" because it's related to "charm" or "to find charming"
But its basic function is "to enchant" or "to charm" sort of like magic. So if you're seeing encantar used regularly it's often in the context of witches or magic like encantar a alguien is "to charm someone" or possibly "to cast a spell on someone"
You'll often see it in fantasy things as like "to put a spell on an object", like charms or incantations [encantar = is related to "incantation" in its etymology]
And that is a more basic construction with subject verb object, rather than the indirect object construction

i love letterboxd because there are so many lists that cater to very specific, yet somehow universal moods. here are my favorites:
120 lesbian films to watch before saying all lesbian cinema is the same
the absolute beauty in everyday’s mundanity
add spice to your romance
autumnal harvest - movies that give you that warm feeling of fall and its surroundings
befriending the lyrical loneliness…
candy cinema
chaos, loneliness, madness, and desapair in the apathetic world of capitalism
crises of childhood
distinctive films that fill the void when you’re lonely or completely destroy you when you’re happy
film recs: female character studies
films that are kind
girlhood
horror as a vehicle
melancholy as a breathtaking aesthetic emotion
movies where female friendships are the scariest concept on earth
“nothing happens” yeah but the vibes
quiet little female character studies
quietly brilliant
snuggly wuggly flicks for anxiety driven chicks
soft horror
two lost souls find comfort
what we talk about when we talk about love
