Anyone else watching the World Cup? Who are you cheering for? Eduardo Galeano is definitely one of my favorite authors, and this book made me appreciate soccer even more. -Becca

Our cat 🐈 Oracle says a win for Germany tonight... so I will hope for the best! ⚽️
I‘m back in a deep reading slump and I really only read the books for my Literature I exam. I finished Mrs Dalloway (boring and confusing) and Mrs Warren‘s Profession (okay).

Pickpick

Galeano is a genius... For RealZ. I read this book in preparation for a trip to the World Cup 2002; I was looking to learn about soccer but not the rules. I wanted to understand it from the inside. Galeano gave me that and so much more. Galeano blew my mind. Galeano is a genius.

PapiJ Agreed. Don't forget kudos to Mark Fried. Translation of a book that is genius into another language while retaining the genius and beauty of the language is comparable to creation of the original work. 8y
SistaPip @PapiJ you are so right. I hadn't thought about that...! 8y
