This book messed me up

[@Paromita_M]

I really liked the Notebook trilogy by Agota Kristof (that's how it is published in English) and yes, I agree with your point about how unsettling it was. Not sure I would be able to reread it soon. Happy reading!

Unsettling is the proper word.. I am not sure I’ll revisit that one ever, but It was truly fascinating.

My favourite book in March (excluding rereads) was Songs of Mihyar the Damascene by poet Adonis. Among rereads my favourites were The Wall by Marlen Haushofer and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

Cool! Adonis is one of those names I have heard several times, but never checked out. Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorite reads, but I have only read an abridged version, so I’ll have to do the real deal someday.

You always intrigue me with books I've never heard of, The Notebook. Well all of these actually, although I've heard of Murakami and Chabon. I just finished The Kingdom of the Wicked by author and composer Anthony Burgess (who wrote A Clockwork Orange), and it was wicked good. Fictionalized account of early Christendom and the contemporaneous Roman and Jewish societies, its four primary sources were all classic texts from the period. They was some mean Romans, boy, I tell you what.

The Notebook I really liked but I get how someone could find it a bit too "unbelievable". I have to say that when I looked up your book and read about it on wikipedia I still feel like I have no clue of what I could expect from it 😅

I have 3 or 4 Chabon books that I picked up when I was volunteering at the bookstore but I don't think I've read any of his works. I have only ever heard good stuff though. I rarely like short story collections. Even if I really like the author otherwise.

I read Tvillingenes dagbok almost three years ago, but I found it very far fetched. I just wasn't able to believe in the story. Nope, not my cup of tea.

[@becomingabookworm]

Oh yes! I can see myself going the same direction. Sometimes that feeling can ruin a read almost in advance.

The Notebook is one of my favourite books. I've still not read First Person Singular, which is the only Murakami I haven't read. I think I'll just wait for his new novel out in November (in English). I'd recommend A Little Luck by Claudia Pineiro, which I the kind of book I needed recently to get my out of my reading slump.

Thanks for the tip! Looks like an interesting read! A plus that it´s Argentinian because I don´t think I have read any books from that country! The new Murakami is actually being published in Norwegian in a couple of weeks so I am going to get to read it soon. Super excited!
