#AboutABook Day 31: #FavoriteOfJuly - read while I was in Indonesia earlier this month. The bittersweet ending smacks of the bitter realities most brilliant people have to contend with: the need to survive in the here-and-now taking precedence over unrealistic dreams or lofty aspirations.

#AboutABook Day 16: This is almost a #Memoir of sorts by Indonesian author Andrea Hirata. I read this while I was in Bandung a few weeks ago and enjoyed it tremendously. Here is my full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-qAU

Hahhaha, accumulated books from August and September. Anyway, so stoke to read Rainbow Troops by @hirataandrea 💙

P.S Is it too late for me to collect Diary of A Whimpy Kid books? I hope not. Hahhaha, also, @titawitty journal is a must have. 🤣

Mehso-so

Not so much a novel as a memoir about the author's childhood on Belitong Island, Sumatra, Indonesia. Many fascinating vignettes about growing poor in a country rich in mineral assets, and the effect that social and economic stratification has on education. What's in this book is good, but feels incomplete given it is supposed to be a novel. https://cannonballread.com/2017/07/indonesian-best-seller-about-poverty-educatio...

pure and delightful childhood memories and the ugly truth about how education is actually a privilege in the poor area in Indonesia.
