This October I read three books, a bit below average. But I’m steadily on my way to cross the 50 books a year mark I set for myself a few years ago. Here they are:
- Último caderno de Lanzarote, by José Saramago
This is the last of 6 books, chronicling José Saramago’s daily life in Lanzarote, the place in Spain he chose to live with his wife, Pilar del Rio. This is a special volume, written in 1998, the year he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. - Depois a louca sou eu, de Tati Bernardi
A book of funny yet serious chronicles, from writer Tati Bernardi. She struggles with mental health issues, namely panic attacks. The way she writes about it is disarming, yet humorous. A great discovery. - Less is Lost, by Andrew Sean Greer
A sequel to the great “Less”, “Less is Lost” follows Arthur Less, a gay white middle aged writer, as he travels through America. Funny, soul searching, and touching at the same time.
