I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 85th

Join the fun if you want!

Kill Your Friends | John Niven
Pickpick

Amo John Niven e finalmente hanno pubblicato in italiano la sua prima opera. È un romanzo da black-comedy oscenamente bello, pieno di ironia. Finalmente un bel libro in questo 2019 di fregature.

Let me tell you about purgatory. Shortly after politely being informed of my death, I'll be led into a personal waiting room with several items. There's a bookcase, a chair with no foot-rest, and a stereo. A small table next to the chair includes my reading glasses and my favorite mug, full of tea. "Why, this suits me just fine!" I think. Wandering over to the bookcase, I notice: it's full of all the books I've abandoned in my life.

kidamy I choose one at random before approaching the chair. The chair is, well, it's fine. But, you know, it could really use a foot-rest. No matter. I open the book to where I left off and settle in. Minutes later I notice I've stopped reading and in just idly staring at the page. I reach for the mug. 7y
kidamy The tea is warm. Ish. It's warmish and it's not very strong. I'll enjoy it, but it's not quite to my liking. I approach the stereo. It's a six CD carousel, full of my favorite bands! Full of...my least favorite albums from my favorite bands. 7y
kidamy I look around the room and sigh. There's no art on the walls. It's bright enough, but there's no lamps. "Where am I, really?" I think to myself. I approach the door to ask what's going on and I hear the click of the lock. Guess I better get reading. 7y

The commentary is a bit dry, but it‘s very comprehensive. I‘m enjoying it so far and it‘s making me listen to a lot of Stone Roses :) #britpop #oasis #stoneroses #blur #suede #music #alternative #nonfiction #retrospective #currentlyreading
