This week’s topic is a Times of Day. Meeghan says, well, as last week, I have no idea what Meeghan says. She published a list for the remainder of the year with no extra explanation. But this topic does not really need any explanation, I think.

Everyone who is only slightly interested in world peace should read this and see how much heartache there can be, how much trouble things can cause if not thought through well enough.

Calvino, Italo "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller" (I: Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore) - 1979
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.
I love the Kingsbridge series. This one is just as fabulous as the ones before this, or the ones that come after, chronologically in the story.
Haig, Matt "The Midnight Library" - 2020
Have you ever wondered what your life might have been if something had or hadn't happened? If you hadn't visited that school you went to, if you had decided to get another profession, if you had met another partner in life? Well, here you can find how it might be if you could explore your life in different circumstances.
Mercier, Pascal "Night Train to Lisbon" (GE: Nachtzug nach Lissabon) - 2004
A Swiss Professor of ancient languages happens to meet a Portuguese woman and finds a book in Portuguese, so he gives up his whole life and goes to Lisbon to find the author. He is going on a quest, tracking down the origin of the book and the life of the author. But in the author he also finds himself.

This is one of the themes I'm working on (mostly in my mind at the moment). Its a fun way to sort books for future reading. I have so many unread ATM that I'm constantly looking for things like this to help me decide what to read next! [lol]
ReplyDeleteFun theme! I'll have to remember this one for when I need an extra post. :D
