'The Book of Disquiet' has no beginning; has no end. It is in the air and around us. It's me, and it's you. It's everything, but it's also nothing. And precisely because it is also nothing, it is everything. What a beautiful edition, my god!!! 😭❤ PS: 'Blindness' is REALLY impressive! The "Taken" reference! Hahahha Liam Neeson would be proud 😂

[@juanastudies4128]

Fernando Pessoa is my favorite poet and writer of all time. A few years ago when I was studying it for school, I almost cried reading him (I'm Portuguese). And believe me when I tell you that in Portuguese, his writing is even more beautiful and touching. Aw, I love him. He only published 1 book while he was alive and only got recognition after his death. He was a very complex person and it translates beautifully to his writing. He is most well known for creating "heteronyms" where he writes like he is other people. And he's amazing at that. My favorite one is Álvaro de Campos.

I read "Blidness" as a pre-teen and it scared the hell out of me. Re-read it a couple years ago and got spooked again - and was surprised that my parents, who had already read, it, were like "sure, kid, go read it, have fun" lmao. I hope you enjoy it!

[@goonzie95]

theres also a movie by the same name.

[@WeirdTangent]

Start with _The Martian_ by Andy Weir! His 2nd book, _Artemis_ is also good but his brand new one _Project Hail Mary_ is really great! Be prepared for some science with your reading though!

[@WeirdTangent]

BTW... I read the Kindle version of _Project Hail Mary_ but I've heard, because of plot, the audio version was really done well and is possibly even better than reading it in print!

[@CanalPanendithas]

Love how you're gettin into portuguese language literature. José Saramago, Fernando Pessoa and Machado de Assis are authors whose works are a world of their own! ''Essay on Blindness" is quite a tough ride, his prose style will leave you breathless, and the themes are not light. Extremely worth reading. Much love from Brazil :)

[@Freakingcurly]

That «El fantasma de la ópera» is really fancy! Alianza is a really nice editorial house but also a really expensive one! I'm so glad that you now have it in your collection 💞

[@thJune-ze7dn]

I really really really love The Book of Disquiet, I really hope you like it. It's something I would love to collect different editions of because there's so many different versions of it. No-one's quite decided on what the "definitive" version should be. It was literally locked in a trunk for decades before they discovered it.

[@spiritedmay]

omg its so crazy to me there is not one but TWO (2!!!) books by portuguese authors!!! we have such underrated works (underrated as in, by the public) and it makes me so happy to see a foreign booktuber talking about some of them (and a famous one at that!) 💗🧚🏻💚

i just bought 4 books on Thriftbooks for just under $20. So far only 2 of them have arrived and they’re in rlly good condition. Maybe check it out if ur looking for a more affordable alternative. And it’s better for the environment lol

[@yoshiforpm]

Used books are a wonder, depending on where you live and what’s open at the moment. Thrift stores can vary wildly in content and availability. Also, library sales. When it was open the University of Toronto library used to have weekly sales and the Vancouver Public Library has a huge annual sale (or did, anyways). Also remaindered books. I got a lot of books for $1 each at a table in the back room of a book store at a local mall when I was young.

[@michegr9252]

The Martian is one of my favourite books, the comedy and almost mundane astronaut comfyness made it one of my most enjoyable reads, big recommend to read first. 21st century sci-fi with astronauts is a niche that needs more love.

I read the Joy Luck Club last year and it was a very good reflection on mother and daughter relationships, so beautiful, but also painful, and a very interesting testemony on immigration and what it does to the people who immigrate and to their children, who're already born in the new country.
