I've finished 2666. What an experience.
I'm nearly done with Zama and waiting to see which books BookSpinBingo will tell me to prioritize.

pickTanti assaggi di grandi piccole storie straordinarie, ognuna con i suoi sapori, odori, emozioni e sensazioni. Storie spontanee d'amore e di dolore, senza filtri. Mi ha preso la mano e mi ha mostrato la diversità di ciò che è stato, è, e sarà.
pick@birdie_gw have you read this one? If not, put it on your list. C and I are going to Chile in October bc Isabelle Allende inspired me - specifically this book - and I‘m going to reread it in Sept before we go. We can read it at the same time if you‘re game!
pickI found this gem on the #ToBLonglist and it‘s right up my alley. I‘m quoting a blurb from the GR description because it‘s perfect:
“Fernandez braids astronomy and astrology, neuroscience and memory, family history and national history into this brief but intensely imagined autobiographical essay.”
"In its caves the salt moans, mountain of buried light, translucent cathedral, crystal of the sea, oblivion of the waves." - from Ode to Salt by Pablo Neruda
He certainly was very passionate about salt. ?

pick3.5/5
In Seeing Red, we follow Lina whose bleeding in her eyes is making her blind. Doctor appointments, family worries, her relationship with her partner, her anguish, her fantasies, her hopes, her fears: we're witnessing it all.
Lina Meruane is very good at materializing a scene through her writing. This book is definitely an experience to be read.
