Sexism Killed My Interest in the Shadow of the Wind for me as well!
Like Nicole Froio in this bookriot article entitled Sexism Killed My Interest in the Shadow of the Wind, it killed my interest too. I’m quoting:
I found that this sexism clashed so much with the story Zafón was trying to tell that it often took my mind off the actual book. It wasn’t just a mere annoyance: it was something so obvious that it destroyed the escapism books usually provide me with. I

“The central idea of the present book is very simple. It is that education is not primarily about the acquisition of information. It is not even about the acquisition of ‘skills’ in the conventional sense, to equip us for particular roles in society.

Thanks for the friend invite and kind words, Silvia. I see you are enjoying TBK the way I did, which is wonderful news :) I look forward to our future interactions.
Anyhow, thanks very much.
