Slovenology
Slovenology: Living and Traveling in the World's Best Country | Noah Charney
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Slovenology is part memoir, part essay collection, part travel writing, and part guidebook. It is meant to act as a guide-in-hand while visiting Slovenia, but it can be read just as well from the comfort of your own home to give you a deep%er and more colorful sense of what it's like to live in this remarkable, little-known country.

I‘ve learned so much about my Slovenian heritage from this fun memoir/travel guide #setintheBalkans for my #ReadingwithMaja challenge. I can see why author Noah Charney is considered Slovenia‘s biggest cheerleader. I loved his funny & colorful stories about this beautiful country and all of its hidden gems. I even discovered new musicians, traditional foods and Bill Murray trivia! My only gripe: no photos were included.

PurpleyPumpkin No pictures??? Ahh seems a shame as I‘m sure they would have added a lot to the author‘s story. Sounds so interesting! Hope your September is starting off well. Fall temperatures have definitely arrived in my area! Here‘s hoping for a pop of warm weather later this month before the cold temperatures descend for the winter!🍁 3y
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin Hey my friend! Happy September to you! Thx for making mine so much fun already with all the birthday goodies. Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! 🌞 3y
PurpleyPumpkin Yay, so glad you enjoyed the care package! It was an absolute pleasure putting it together for you. 😉 The weather here is still mild, but fall is definitely in the air. 🍁 Hope your weather is still warm. ☀️ 3y

Here‘s my list of a few Slovenian authors translated into English. It‘s a pile in different genres, from philosophy to crime novel, fiction and nonfiction. I hope that you will find something for you.
