I like read books about informatics and also cars, I think that we all must read some book because it can helps us to learn more above our language, for example I like read awfully text that are wrote in English, so I can to learn more words in English and knows things above another places of my world, I think that read books in the language that you are learning is good so you can learn to write and speak faster.

Thanks a lot

I have the HarperCollins Unabridged in my office for reference. It's about 5 inches thick, but worth it. For a more portable dictionary, I like the New World Spanish/English Dictionary by Salvatore Ramondino. It's a pocket-sized paperback, albeit a little on the thick side as well, but it's easy to carry around and quite comprehensive. (I also like the typeface, but I guess I shouldn't be revealing those idiosyncracies ) Those are the two dictionaries I would recommend.

Corrections above. There is no gender associated with most inanimate objects in English. The pronoun we use is it.
