The actor and activist Pep Parés goes to bed every day an hour before he wants to fall asleep to have enough time to read. He likes novels and essays, especially thought on contemporary life, such as the Manual of Civility by Victòria Camps and Salvador Giner or The Art of the Mind by Francesc Bofill, "a former student of Montserrat with whom I coincided in the La Claca company, who had extraordinary culture and wrote proverbs, quotes and aphorisms from all over the world". "It's one of the books that have marked me," he assures. Together they made the mythical show Mori el Merma, a free adaptation of Ubú Roi with puppets by Joan Miró, "the first profane work that entered the Liceu in 1977", says the actor.
