Every book I get seems to be written with vosotros, and I want to learn Mexican words.

Aura by Carlos Fuentes and La Casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros are popular Mexican novels.
Both are available on audiobook, as well, if you want to shadow the dialogue. Carlos and his daughter Natasha are the narrators for Aura. Liliana Valenzuela, a native Mexican, does the narration for La Casa en Mango Street. There's an audio sample of La Casa en Mango Street at http://www.randomhouse.com/audio/catalog/display.pperl?isbn= 9780739322802. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You may want to try Librerías Gandhi on-line. This is the most renown bookstore chain in Mexico, so they're pretty reliable. They deliver anywhere around the world through Fedex. So now all you need now is to choose your favorite writers.
Librerias Gandhi By the way, Sandra Cisneros is not Mexican but a chicana writer from Chicago. I read her book in English so I can't tell what kind of Spanish was used in the translation but I don't think they'd use Castilian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My favorite Mexican author is Ángeles Mastretta, even though Silvia Molina, Laura Esquivel and Elena Poniatowska, just to name a few, certainly deserve being mentioned.
As to where to get them - check you local library first. If you really like it and want to have your own copy, see if Amazon has it used - I bought some of the books I own for real peanuts. Good luck! 1 person has voted this message useful |
