I thought it would be appropriate to read these collected columns while on vacation myself. I‘m not getting as much reading time as I wanted because it‘s my parents‘ 50th anniversary trip. I may hide out at the pool later and be all antisocial with my books though.
pickA must-do for all bookish people when visiting Istanbul: The Museum of Innocence. Based on the novel by Orhan Pamuk, this museum visualises the story in objects: one little glass box per chapter. Together they form an hommage to this beautiful city.
Literary pilgrimages around the world collected into a book of essays? Yes, please! And a sneak peek at one of the bookmarks I made for the exchange.
It's here! I got #orhanpamuk 'a signature in my #Istanbul book. Super excited to have met him. Have you checked your local library/bookstore to see if exciting authors are visiting your town?
What are the odds?! The #NobelPrize writer you are currently reading is in your city and you get a chance to hear him speak AND get a signature from. Have you read #OrhanPamuk? I'm currently reading #Istanbul and just got #theredhairedwoman. I'll post his signature tomorrow! So excited! 💜📚🙆🏻
"True literature itself is a flight of fancy, and appreciators of it are all too familiar with the discombobulating feeling of finishing a novel and being slightly surprised to be at home in a recliner rather than hundreds of miles-and hundreds of years-away. Above all, Footsteps' essays are for the avid reader who can travel by simply turning a page. Turn these, and they'll take you around the world."

A Strangeness in My Mind by Orhan Pamuk contains some beautiful and evocative sentences about this state of being and how it can influence the shape of being.

Loneliness is an indescribable malady - and yet one which can, perhaps, be called a fount of wisdom. Although, occasionally, it chooses irrationality to have a drink with; it also allows itself to be examined by objectivity, albeit discreetly - so that genuineness has a chance to thrive.

Happy Hump Day, #readathon-ers! Who else is dreaming of escaping to new locations on this midweek day? Why not add some travel writing to your stack? These essays look like they'd make for perfect #24in48 armchair travel...
