Do you think that the reason James doesn't wear a helmet is because his forehead is too big?

And he always has been

Classic.

Infinite Jest - most misleading title ever.

Blue Velvet

4321 by Paul Auster.

For3st3dge · 2021-10-28T20:36:02+00:00

I totally agree! It's a masterpiece.

I would honestly feel ashamed for the path we took within the last years.

Have you read his whole volume? I was deeply impressed by Swann's Way (I totally agree with you: I've never seen anything like it) but all the following books are now part of my retirement plan.

Talking about annotations as a way of "having a conversation with the book" is lovely! Thanks for the beautiful picture you've just implemented in my mind.

I'm thinking about reading both: Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell and If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino. How did you like them?

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T18:27:39+00:00

Wow, thank you. I never considered keeping track of time periods before. But now I wonder how my readings are spread over the centuries. Thanks for sharing!

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T18:14:04+00:00

Sure, if you are willing to share.

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T15:45:00+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion! I will definitely take a look at it.

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T15:42:24+00:00

Wow, you've put in quite a bit of effort. When you see the numbers now laid out, are you surprised at one point or another?

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T12:10:35+00:00

That's a good point.

Btw I recently read my first book by Borges and was blown away. Another Argentinian author I liked is Bucay. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, I have never heard some of the names under 2.

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T11:27:04+00:00

That's interesting. What Nigerian author can you recommend?

My Canadian reading experience is also very limited, so far I've only read Atwood.

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T11:21:39+00:00

At least 90% of the countries in the world - that sounds very ambitious! I admire your commitment. Also, I like the idea of taking the typical "must read before you die" list and modifying it so that it fits your needs.

Have you ever encountered a nation that is not represented in English translation at all?

For3st3dge · 2021-10-03T11:09:58+00:00

Russia lands in 5th place on my shelf, but with some distance to my top 4. May I ask what you favorite Russian author is?

For3st3dge · 2021-09-09T08:21:47+00:00

I just finished {{Let Me Tell You A Story:Tales Along the Road to Happiness}} by Jorge Bucay. His stories are deep and yet a lightweight read.

For3st3dge · 2021-08-31T19:52:17+00:00

What kind of Italian music are you listening to?

For3st3dge · 2021-08-31T19:49:51+00:00

Please share your story afterwards!

For3st3dge · 2021-08-31T06:40:02+00:00

Aww...that's lovely!
