Summary: The "boom" for Morrissey

In the article entitled “Morrissey Autobiography breaks first-week sales records”, the author Liz Burry describes the sales success of book of the historic british singer. In its first week the book sold 35.000 copies. Morrissey was singer of The Smiths, an important band of United Kingdom and the world. The text analyzes the “boom” to read about the life of Singer, comparing to other releases, such as Keith Richards, guitarist of The Rolling Stones.

Simon Key, owner a bookstore, considers that believes that Morrissey fans are obsessive. To analyze this phenomenon, the article notes that this autobiography broke all records in the topic “musical biographies”. However, until now the bestselling book in the first week remains the biography of Kate McCann's Madeleine (2011), this sold 72.500 copies.

The text declare that are received hundreds of requisitions for the book for around the world: Northamerican, Asia, Southamerican, and others. But have been rejected.

I think that Morrissey is a bigger artist and he was a music icon to very people. He write good songs and is obvious that their fans want to read the memories of Morrissey, because it explains all problems he had with drugs, alcohol, friends of bands, sexual orientation. Apparently, fans of Chile will have to wait to read, because the arrival of the biography is not dated confirmed.

My ideal job

Is a difficult topic, because I have many dream jobs.  But hmm I have to choose, so I'll talk about this. I love traveling, so I think my dream job would be as a journalist for a travel magazine. I imagine writing about the best destinies of worlds. For example, go to Caribbean for one week and visit all touristic attractions: the beach, pyramid’s maya, parties and other topic and then write about these experiences. As well as, I love write and take photos of natural landscape. In my mind, I imagine: “the special envoy from Southafrican: Felipe Guerra”. 

The unique problem is that is very bored travel a person without or friends, but I but I would sacrifice hahaha. In some newspapers as La Tercera or El Mercurio have special sections that speak of travels. I do not know if these newspapers have a good salary, but only traveling is an attractive job.
