This was incredibly good. I was totally transported into a time and place that I know very little about, and feel changed by the experience, which is pretty much the crux of why I like reading.

Learning more about the author, his perspective on writing the book and how it intervenes in contemporary Brazilian politics has also been cool (one of many interesting interviews/articles: wordswithoutborders.org/read/article/2023-09/reading-to-coexist-a-conversation-with-itamar-vieira-junior-ana-laura-malmaceda/)

This book is so much harder than the other ones. And soo much longer. Also the first half is translated by a different person? I am struggling a bit.

Last time I read this was at least 15 years ago, its weirder and even more fun than I remembered.

LFG

False alarm, I did NOT hit my 25 books goal, I had some buggy metadata on a book, probably from when I imported some stuff from my old bookwyrm.social account a few months ago.

@astralstreeting wowww almost 2 months early!! Thanks for letting us all follow along. Does this pace of reading feel normal now, are you gonna keep it up? Or take a break?
