Books and reading!
Hey folks,
Someone invited me to take part in what I usually consider really annoying Facebook chain posts. In this case, it was "one book cover each day over a 10 day period". And it turned into a lot of fun. Not necessarily the books I was reading over the 'quarantine' period, just whatever came to mind. Then I realized I might suggest something of the sort here. Book covers, and/or commentary on books you have read while having - one supposes - more time to do so. I just finished "Algerian White", Algerian writer Assia Djebar 's homage to writers and intellectuals, many of them close friends, who were victims of political repression in different periods of the turbulent history of her country. Sad and beautifully written (and translated!). Now I am reading Olga Tokarczuk, Polish Nobel winner - "Drive your plow over the bones of the dead'. Told from the perspective of an elderly woman with a great sense of humour and many harrowing insights on life...
