I need to read this soon! It‘s on the #1001BooksToReadBeforeYouDie list!
pickSet before World War I, 2 sailors, Davies and Carruthers, are set against the secret forces of Germany. They uncover a plot which threatens personal as well as national security. UK has since developed a naval base at Rosyth. Davies suspects the Germans are doing something sinister in the German Frisian islands. This is said to be the first spy novel and was published in 1903. The information about yachting was a bit too detailed. Recommended
1. No I usually do not read the previous book again.
2. I have probably 200 or more series that I am trying to catch up on.

description
The story of a writer's singular journey—from one place to another, from the British colony of Trinidad to the ancient countryside of England, and from one state of mind to another—this is perhaps Naipaul's most autobiographical work. Yet it is also woven through with remarkable invention to make it a rich and complex novel.
Read this in 2015. #1001BooksToReadBeforeYouDie
Day 10 - #SpringBreak #MarchMadness #1001Books
I read this book in 2015:
Story of the writer's return, after 15 years, to a village in Slovenia where Alpine and Mediterranean worlds meet. He describes the experiences of the people who live there. The events the characters go through gives the reader feelings of joy, compassion and love. Reminded me of my grandfather who also left a nearby Croatian area in 1914 because of the onset of World War I.

I own this book and look forward to reading it soon. It is on the #1001bookstoreadbeforeyoudie list.
pickI found this book to be amazing. The psychotherapist part of me loved it the most. I may be wrong in this but I think those who do not do my job may not be aware that such toxic, incredible, unbelievable...people and relationships actually exist undercover among seemingly “normal”people. This novel is fiction but, truly, as Dowell says, “It‘s a queer and fantastic world...with broken,tumultuous lives” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
