One of the most weird - but also most interesting - books I ever read, a reader is trying to read a book called "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller". The book is partly about the reader's life and partly about the books he is trying to read.
One of my favourite books ever.
Read my original review here.
Oh neat, my favorite by Calvino.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, yes, right now all your comments go to my spam. I need to start checking everyday, otherwise, when I click approve, then I have to scroll down too long to find t in my list of approved comments to be able to add any comment to it, and right now, I honestly don't have time. But if I actually start by checking the spam section before the other comments, it will be easier to track yours and really answer to it.
Sorry to hear that, Emma. I think Blogger wants everyone from WP to join them and vice versa, there seem to be nothing but problems at the moment. Oh, but it's easier with Blogger. I get a notification before I can go to comments, then I approve and have the comment directly at the top because they sort them by date of comment, not by date of post. Still, such a nuisance. :(
DeleteI love this book! It's so quirky and unique and totally compelling. You make me want to check it out and read it all again. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lark. It definitely is one of my favourites and I will have to read it again, as well.
DeleteWeird AND interesting? Sign me up... [grin]. I've heard about this book over the years but never picked it up. Maybe next time I see it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd love it, Kitten.
DeleteI'm reading a weird/interesting book ATM - 'Frankenstein in Baghdad' by Ahmed Saadawi. It's a satire/metaphor about the American occupation of Baghdad after Gulf War II based around the original Frankenstein idea. *Strange* but really good!
DeleteThat does sound very interesting, Kitten. I'll have to explore. Thanks.
DeleteI found this book very peculiar and was lost after having read it. Maybe I have to read it one more time, and just take a chapter at a time.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear, Lisbeth. I just suggested it to my book club and this is our book this month. I hope the others will like it.
DeleteKeep me posted on what they think of it.
DeleteThanks, Lisbeth. I will.
