BARBARIAN DAYS by William Finnegan // MARKO BOOK CLUB SUMMER 2019 Beach Read

[@henriqueadamy2183]

I've got the book for my older brother for his birthday, he surfs, he had just started reading for pleasure so I decided to give him something he would like. He loved the book. He moved to cost a few years ago to open a gym and also because he wanted to surf more, he surf almost everyday. We grow up 300 km from the cost in south of Brazil, in a state that has beachs with no surfable waves. Surf was never in my interest, but I decided to read the book anyway, just finished actually and I loved. Great book, totally recomend.

Those lit candles by the books are giving me anxiety, especially the one on the right.

I do not surf but the book does sound great. I usually read English literature but i do need to diversify . Thank you i will give it a go.

[@GUARDONISSIMO1]

I assure you it is quite well written, anyway.

[@lar6354]

Such a great book : D !!!

[@MarkoAyling]

Totally! What was your favorite chapter?

[@lar6354]

Chapters 5 + 6 while the author and Bryan were on their epic surf trip

[@MarkoAyling]

LAR totally. That was legendary

[@lar6354]

@@MarkoAyling ​ it was : ' ) i don't know about you, but I was feeling like jumping ship from my current life. Would you ever do a series of videos kind of inspired by that book w/ your brother?

[@MrFootballSkills6]

Just finished it. Awesome book. Excited to go to some of the spots but also sad that I'll never get to experience the excitement of finding a spot that nobody has surfed before. Times have changed so much since Brian and William went on their world surf tour.

[@GUARDONISSIMO1]

Yes... thought he greates regret may rather be: "sad that I didn't have the courage to dedicate completely my life to surfing such as he did"

[@ablurida]

Ooh! Candles in the background I feel like I'm on a date with Marko 😏 😂 This is probably what he would do on a date tbh

[@Chet6751]

[@bmac53]

[@MarkoAyling]

Yew!

[@xusanchez6142]

Loved the chat! Now I’m curious about the book, and also about the stone on your ring... is that turquoise? 🙃✌🏽

[@queenshe5977]

Sounds super interesting! I’m downloading it on audible app right now.

[@MarkoAyling]

I haven’t heard the audible version. Let me know what you think!

[@GUARDONISSIMO1]

extradordinary book!!!!!! Simply too emotional, goosebump-creating, wonderful and realistic depiction of what really being a surfer means (no matter how many waves you are able to rob the nearby cooks or how idiotically localist you are or how many aereals you can pull off... rather, despite of all this). Must, MUST read for every reader, and surfer(reader)(being it quite verbose and elevated). Only slight critique... sometime too long technical description of waves and manouvres.
