Can you believe it guys? The end of the school year! Just a week away! The end of the school year is in a week! Wahoo! I am so happy about this information!! The end of the school year! Just a week away, oh wow! Can you believe it? The end of the school year […]
Confusing is a word I would use to describe this book. Faces In the Crowd was a pretty experimental story and perspective into storytelling and what is true or not. Even though I can see the appeal in this kind of meta book in a book where you never really know what the author is […]
Forever Young by Alphaville is a song that comes mind when I think about the subject of this book. The line “Do you really want to live forever young?” kinda sums up the topic that this book explores. Is eternal life really all that? Jose Saramago explores this thought exercise in Death with Interruptions in […]
This book was less short and nice this week 🙁 “Money to Burn” was a bit of a hard read for me as I usually don’t enjoy reading action books. I am a bit stupid in the sense that I like seeing action type stories in video form (such as movies) more… But my personal […]
I know I said that “Time of the Doves” was one of the books of all time, but this book is a strong contender for the book of all time. “The Lover” by Margurite Duras was an interesting book to say the least. This book’s subject matter was heavily sexual, which would be eyebrow raising […]
What a nice and short book this week :)) “The Hour of The Star” by Clairice Lispector was very interesting for me to read. Although at times I did not understand the experimental writing style of the book, it very quickly became the highlight of this reading for me. It felt a lot like the […]
“Time of the Doves” is an oddly peaceful and happy sounding name for this book. From the title, I would have thought this book was about a happy wedding or about a conflict coming to an end where everyone holds hands and sings Kumbaya. This novel, was quite the opposite. I found this novel quite […]
I found that this week’s reading was a lot less engaging for me. Maybe it was a result of my busy workload, or the fact that I exclusively read this book before I went to bed, but all in all I found this book a lot harder to follow than the last few we have […]
Agostino was an interesting read to say the least… Although at first glance, the Freudian themes make it a bit of an uncomfortable read, once I turned my brain off to the perplexing sexualizations of Agostino’s mother I was able to appreciate the novella for what it was: an excruciatingly detailed recount of the experience […]
This week’s reading “The Shrouded Woman” by Maria Luisa Bombal was one that I found quite captivating and enjoyable. One of the themes in this reading that I found most captivating was the theme of regret, and how regret and death interact with the souls of dying people. Bombal described Ana-Maria’s grievances with the people […]
