Despite having the absolute best cover of any of the NBA longlists (according to me), this is so far the weakest read for me from the translated lit list. It‘s not a bad book, but it‘s mix of dreamy/fantastical with reality and the lack of clarity on which is which doesn‘t go far enough. It gives a good commentary on a state‘s decision to jail those making dissident statements, which is timely. Between pick and so-so for me.
squirrelbrain Hmmm… I can get this on Everand (digital print, not audio) but I‘m not sure I want to waste a credit now. Maybe I‘ll wait until I see what else I can get hold of and from where. 3w
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain That seems like smart planning! I didn‘t even know Everand had gone to a credit system now. It never truly was “unlimited” reading, so I guess they‘re being more straight about that now? 3w
squirrelbrain Yes, they have two options - 1 credit per month or 3. I went with the higher option, but I‘m struggling to use them sometimes and then you lose them. They do have some ‘Unlimited‘ books, but that‘s a bit like KU - they‘re books you wouldn‘t want to read anyway! 🤦♀️ 3w
