I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Could this have been any longer and more pointless? No. I can‘t believe I actually suffered through this entire thing.

You don't want to be content with yourself. People who are, are insufferable, the walking dead. But, you don't want to be entirely driven either because then you just skate over the world and never touch it. We judge narrowly, by measures rather than by the soul. You see, everyone, no matter what his accomplishment, is made to feel insignificant by the scale of things. Not by nature but all the things that are done by groups. Economy. War. Cities.

#recommendsday. This book had such an effect on me. I came to care deeply about these characters. Great story, beautifully written.

Some of the most beautiful prose ever written.
