"During these months conditioned by the pandemic, in which we have to dedicate much more time to being at home, from the Municipal Library it is considered more necessary than ever to promote a love for Literature for different audiences and ages, maintaining activities such as reading clubs, storytelling or meetings with an author ". The councilor has also pointed out that "some are adapted to the 'online' format so that they more easily reach the largest number of people and with all the security guarantees." The title 'Ways to Live' is inspired by the mythical song that Rosendo performed with the band 'Leño'.
The author himself anticipates that "the music envelops all the pages of the book.
There are exactly 24 chapters because there are 24 phrases that Rosendo composed for 'Ways to live'". In the book the emotions of the characters are intermingled, always having as a background the music, the engine of the story, and the desire for a second chance that allows me to correct the mistakes of life.
As the song says, although the protagonist, Jimi, does not smile, it does not mean that he is sad. Luis Leante has published around twenty novels and short story books.

"The common denominator to many of his works is that of a linear narrative structure that gives more importance to the way in which history is discovered than to history itself, with secondary characters of great force", they highlight from the Municipal Library 'Rafael Tegeo' from Caravaca. In addition to the novel for children and young adults, in recent years Leante has entered the theatrical genre with 'Topics, typical, comedians', 'The door', 'Out of time,' Mezzo-soprano is offered for housework ',' History of a cornice 'and' The resistant ones'.
