  3. Thank you for this list of books about Colombia. It will be interesting for me to read several of them.As a historian I am interested in history of this country and other from Latin America. The main,these books are in english, but sometimes I try to read on spanish. I`ve just read an article on quivo.co `Las corridas de toros dejan de ser patrimonio cultural`.
