It has already become tradition, with September, to publish some list of things that we should or should not do. There were ten things we wouldn't have to do from the age of 35; five things we should do before the age of 40. Like all traditions, this one also has an absurd, but at the same time it consolidates us, it makes us feel within a cycle. So, and imitating Georges Perec, I'm going to complete the list of things to do before I die. He was asked for 50 on a radio show in 1981 and reached 37. I'll have to settle for listing 20.

The first thing to do before death, 1. Live -- I could also put myself in the end to get an even more exciting column. 2. Order the library for once. 3. Stop smoking. 4th. Start smoking in order to stop smoking. 5. Sleep eight hours and not nine, ten. 6. Waste time, but less. 7. He lives in a foreign city only by name of Arequipa, Ulan Bator, Timbuktu. 8th. Visit to Salinas de Añana. 9. Acquisition of the Montaigne Tests, the three volumes, in the translation of Eduardo Gil himself. 10. Reading of the Montaigne Tests, the three volumes, in the translation of Eduardo Gil himself. 11. Learn how to ride a horse and then fall off the horse, like Montaigne. 12. Learn to make second voices. 13. Learn Arabic to save my skin if you ever came across the Islamic State. 14. Attend a bertsos session. 15. I write a science fiction novel, which I have no imagination. 16. Write a snake that fills the void of Goenkale on Basque public television. 17. We wrote a song lyrics for singing Ken Zazpi, Izaro, Mikel Markez. 18. Dinner with Niko Etxart. 19 Buy a tomb for me in Biriatu. And the last thing before death, 20. To die to see what people say about me, for example, these columns that have become an absurd but consolable tradition.
