pickThis book is one of the most special gifts I ever received and I plan to read it annually not only for the pleasure of reading it, but also because the purple prose influenced the way I have written all my college papers the past few weeks, and even more importantly was that I fell in love with the friend who sent me this book who has reciprocated my feelings during the time it has taken me to read the book. I Love You, Meine Frau.

pickThis was really haunting. So bleak, dense, required real concentration. I got a little frustrated at some of the misogyny (only the women are worried about their clothes matching when EVERYONE IS BLIND 😤) but still a pick. Def not light hearted.

Who is your favorite Death?
I absolutely LOVE a book where #death is a character, not just an idea. Death with Interruptions is not only one of my favorite interpretations of Death but is also one of my favorite books. I loved how Saramago wrote - all of his books are a bit stream of consciousness, and a whole lot of lyrical prose.

pickWhat if the story you know is completely wrong. What if Cain, because of his mark, lived outside the rules, outside of time. What if Cain & God had a theological argument that spanned centuries? This is one of those novels I wish I could read again for the first time. 232/1,001 #1001Books #BookSpin for August #Pop23 A Modern Retelling of a Classic (I‘m stretching it a little, but hey.

Livraria Lello, Portugal‘s most famous bookstore, publishes its own editions of classical books. They are gorgeous. I bought this one, a poetry collection by the iconic Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa.
