“And there I was, the reluctant nudist, punished to the maximum extend if the law, one ankle bracelet short of an orange jumpsuit.”
pickInstantly hooked. This book was just too quirky to let go of. Who knew a story that takes place almost exclusively inside an apartment building (with the exception of an act of “Deliberate Exposure”) could be so exciting.
Dropped the ball on reading recently, but picked it up again on vacation to Portugal. #whatiread

Almost a series of short stories rather than a novel, Towles recounts the house arrest of Count Alexander Rostov in the Hotel Metropol in Moscow for the crime of being an unrepentant aristocrat and the many characters he encounters during his decades of confinement. The many tales are beautifully and sometimes humorously told. My favourite perhaps being the removal of all labels on the wine bottles in the cellar. Lovely

There really is no other choice for this prompt.
pickPeople have told me to read this book since it first came out. I put it off because historical fiction has to be a genre I'm in the mood for in order to appreciate it.
This book deserves all the praise it has received. The writing is simply exquisite, and I was drawn into this world and the characters and felt like part of the hotel.
Really beautiful story that I should have read sooner.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you have a beautiful day! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions.
