To other spanish speakers in this thread who enjoy poetry:

I highly encourage you to read Altazor, Piedra de sol by Octavio Paz, and Azul by Rubén Darío, instead of the book depicted in this image.

Don't read Urbe, it is a ridiculously corny poem poor in genuis and art of a cathartic communist revolution. It's not the ideological content, of course, but the form what I am complaining about.

Have this technique worked for you in any other language or wtf is this?
Anyway, best way to learn a language as an adult is not studying but practicing it in real life / daily situations.
-Become friends with spanish speaking people and chat with them in msn or whatsapp
-If too autistic for that just jump into a mexican server in whatever shit you like to play and start conversations with the players on it, become friends and chat with them, that way you can practice while focusing in something else
-Also, get a sub-esp version of whatever movie you like, and put on the Spanish subtitles while you watch it in english, good way to practice with some kind of insta translation tool
-Never read literature straight away while learning a new language, literary language is very far away / different from daily language, you should master it first in daily situations. Maybe you could read websites. Wikipedia, FB, News webs, etc. Something simple.

Torrente Ballester
Eduardo Mendoza
Ortega y Gasset,Zubiri and María Zambrano in philosophy.
Gil de Biedma
Julián Marías as essayist and his son Javier Marías as a novelist
Francisco Umbral (probably the best or atleast top 3 of the list)
Pío Baroja
Valle-Inclán (contemporary of Unamuno)
Camilo José Cela
Miguel Delibes
Gomez de la Serna
