2021 Book List
I saw that in 2020, I didn't read a lot of books and I read even less this year. It is embarrassing that I couldn't be more disciplined in reading and just set aside time to read. Anyways, completed books this year are:
- Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo - A really interesting read and I do recommend it to people wanting to read something different.
- The Topeka School by Ben Lerner - Aah, this one is difficult.
- The Dutch House by Ann Patchett - I like it.
And that's it. I know it's shameful that I only read this much. I am still reading
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles which is actually a really good book and under normal circumstances, I would have finished it faster because it is such a good read. Side note: I said normal, am I still subconsciously not acknowledging that normal is what is now, that I should move on and change things to fit this "normal" rather than thinking that we'll one day go back to the "old normal"? Gosh, I don't know. Anyways sometimes a book, as I read it, speaks to my current situation and I pretty much then always illogically think there's a sign. With
A Gentleman in Moscow, I can't help feeling that a lot of it speaks to my current situation, namely how our living situations are not ideal. So I'm really invested in seeing how the character goes through it all. I'm curious to know how it will end. If it's a good one, maybe it will be a sign for me that in the end there can be good days.
