La lectura nos permite ver el mundo de una manera distinta, encontrar ese pedazo en el universo que nos hace falta. Los libros nos muestran que se puede encontrar el amor en un sonido o en una flor.
El círculo está centrado en la lectura y análisis de textos de ficción en español. El ejercicio del círculo literario pretende brindar nociones prácticas que permitan el acercamiento crítico a géneros literarios en español.
El ejercicio de leer nos pertenece a todos, hayamos o no estudiado formalmente

Leer nos construye, nos transforma.

¿A quién va dirigido?
Está especialmente pensado para personas que desean iniciarse en el mundo de los libros y charlar con la excusa de una lectura interesante.

¿Cuáles son los objetivos?
* Fomentar la lectura y el diálogo.
* Crear un punto de encuentro para personas interesadas en la lectura.
* Dar a conocer entornos sociales y culturales de los paises hispanoamericanos.
* Favorecer un acercamiento crítico a los diferentes géneros literarios.
* Resignificar el idioma Español como generador de identidades socioculturales.

El Instituto Hispánico de Cultura y Escritores Cronopios Houston agradecen su asistencia.
