This one‘s up next. It‘s a reread. Being lost in the hush of an endless dusk these days makes book like this comforting.

Blindness | Jos Saramago

Mehso-so

I‘m still considering all of my feelings about this book, but man is it bleak.One day out of the blue an epidemic of white blindness strikes every person in a large city except one and we witness the collapse of society as we know it. The author makes some unique choices—none of the characters are named and the text is presented in block form with no quotations.It definitely requires a deeper analysis—what is the blindness supposed to represent?

TieDyeDude This is the only book I re-read immediately after finishing it the first time; however, I never enjoyed analyzing the meaning in books. I'm not sure if the blindness has a real-world correlation or if it is just a catalyst to examine the fragility of society and morality.
I have only read a couple of his books, but they follow the same writing style and I find him to be a stimulating read. I recently read All The Names, and it was excellent!

Took a punt that a graphic novel called “Portugal“ might contain the word #Portugese, and I was right! #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Am I enjoying it? Not really. Angsty artist dude treats woman terribly because angst, travels to find himself.

Also, Lettering Hall of Shame, gold star edition.

¡Wow! Esas últimas 50 páginas me debilitaron.

I finished another book in this series. It was likable but wasn't my favorite out of the series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

For anyone who likes WWII novels, or spy stories, this is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the setting, the intrigue. I learned a good bit about aspects of the war with which I was unfamiliar. A new-to-me author, I thought this was well written and definitely worth the time. Recommend.

Picture has nothing to do with the book; we visited a nature preserve the other day.

That was the summer when we discovered that we were surrounded by colourful creatures that only our phone cameras could reveal....

All around the world, crowds gathered, armed with phones, to hunt Pokémon. In the end, technology not only condemned us to live in the isolation of a virtual world, it also allowed us to be closer to one another. Body to body. Jorge went out hunting for Pokémon and I went out hunting for men.

Hubby gave me this for Christmas, and I started it this morning. I‘m already intrigued. WWII fiction; he knows me well😂

Lista_0522 I‘m not usually into historical books based around the time of war (I hate when the best characters die🥲) but just looking at the cover, this looks like it would be good. Or at the very least, my interest is peaked! 3mo
