A mixture of books, the first 3 I read for my Portuguese course at uni, but did enjoy them a lot. I really love Mia Couto (who wrote 3, 9 & 10), a great Mozambican writer. His work falls under the category of magical realism, and really evoke the African landscape he writes in. I also enjoyed Equator, a huge hit here in Portugal, especially with the TV series last year. Lastly, I have to mention the 2 Saramago books, he was an author we looked at in the lit class, a well deserved recipient of the Nobel Prize. He will be long remembered through his work.
