#BookReport 05/21

Three books this week. I enjoyed Deacon and the tagged one. The Group was an okay read yet I do look forward to tomorrow‘s #bestbuddyread (those girls hardly seem best buddies though!)

I‘d like to spend much more time reading than I‘m doing at the moment!

“In #Tibet, religion permeates every grain of earth. Man and God are inseparable, myth and legend are intertwined. People there have endured sufferings that are beyond the comprehension of the modern world. “

This quote describes perfectly what this little book is about. I can smell the earth, see the mountains and feel the harshness of living on the Tibetan plateau. A banned book worth reading.

Finished this early this morning due to stormy weather and too many things in my head 😑😐🤔
Can't say I enjoyed it but I am relieved I've read it now.

So I got this when it was first published but could never get past the first chapter as it played on my mind.
I'm trying again!
Sometimes I find that I read things totally differently after years have sped by. Sometimes not!

A vulgar, obscene book...
Jian goes on to explain that in describing the book as pornographic, the state inadvertently promoted it to readers who would never ordinarily have read it!

You know, it‘s a vulgar picture of very raw humanity to the preconceived notions of what the Tibetan people are thought to be. At some points though it was a bit much to read, focusing on the bases of human nature to the point it got old really quick. It was ok, not something to praise like everyone thinks. Read at your own discretion.
