IT WAS A TIME NOT OF WHAT WAS THERE, BUT OF WHAT WASN'T
God, it's been ages since I updated this book blog. Let's do it in bullet points:
1. I went to Berlin a couple of weeks ago and bought some books at Kulturkaufhaus Dussmann. They have a really great English section, but they are a little bit too expensive for my taste. Ignored that this time.
2. Books read:
Sophie Hannah - Lasting damage
Gillian Flynn - Dark places
Siri Hustvedt - The sorrows of an American
Siri Hustvedt - The enchantment of Lily Dahl
3. I've really struggled with what to read lately, which is probably why I haven't updated this blog in so long (and that is probably why I have been reading things like Lasting damage.) I've started so many books, but just haven't been able to finish them. I firmly believe that you can't (or shouldn't) just pick up a book, any book, and read it. The time has to be right, but no book has felt right these past few weeks. Makes me feel really lost.
4. Soon the course I am taking at university is over. The only part I really liked was the English literature module. We had to do an essay on something we had read in the course literature and I chose to write about Susan Glaspell's Trifles. The essay was supposed to be quite short so I thought: why not share it? It's not great and there are some mistakes I can't be bothered to fix, but it isn't awful either. Anyway, since I can't work out how to upload it here, you can find it on one of my old blogs instead. It is in English. Click!
