Haven’t been keeping track of the books I’ve read.
Read Harper lee’s Go set a watchman, Joseph crespino’s Atticus Finch- a biography, Antoine st-exupery’s flight to arras , jay parini’s the last station, and Jonathan franzen’s the discomfort zone,
Not much. Was a tad disappointed with go set a watchman and understood why from Atticus Finch that tho it was written prior to To kill a mockingbird, it wasn’t published first. Didn’t enjoy flight to areas as well. It was a little dry and kinda all over the place. Jay parini’s last station was about Tolstoy’s last days. Although it was a nice idea, I didn’t like the writing style. It lacked a certain poetic quality to it. In the last station, Tolstoy became increasingly uncomfortable with the lavishness he lived in as it was incompatible with the teachings of humility and simplicity he extolled. He became intolerant of his wife as she still hung desperately to materialism. Oftentimes, we do not examine what our values are, what others values are, nor discuss openly about these things with the significant people in our lives. We then live in misunderstandings and disillusionment.
Anyway I enjoyed the discomfort zone, which was a raw and honest autobiography of sort about puberty, family, marriage, books, politics and in a weird section birding. Some books I wanted to read from the book - Kafka’s The Trial, Rilke’s notebooks of malte Laurids brigge, the magic mountain
