I am liveblogging me rereading Noli Me Tangere in my fandom blog and honestly the writing kinda slaps. If you wanna read Filipiniana literature, read Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. I promise you it's not as boring as school made them out to be.

Jose Rizal is like extremely snarky and each paragraph has a backhanded statement that criticizes his time period and some of the scenes are really funny

Please, if you've never read the books for leisure before and had only read it for study, it provides such a different experience and you might just like it!

#mayaposts #noli me tangere #el filibusterismo #jose rizal #i do also have to say that a lot of tagalog translations i've read just do not do the book justice like at all #the dialogue in those translations come off as stiff and too deep conpared to other english ones #not sure if it's because i struggle to read tagalog in general but other tagalog stories do not give me this much of a hard time #when reading it #so i do suggest getting an english translation or if you can read the originak spanish #mayapino #philippines #filipino #filipiniana #filipino literature #literature
