Books to read
I was poking around on LibraryThing.com, as I often do, and noticed that there were 90,000 titles tagged “to be read”. Of all of the tbr-tagged titles, I had read 3 of them; my favourite by far being The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. This is an engaging and poignant tale of a man who pops out of present time to travel either into the past or future. His wife is left alone, never knowing when or where she will see her husband. It is an interesting comment about loneliness within a relationship, as well as a compelling and modern exploration of how deep love can withstand all challenges.
Another book on this list that caught my eye was Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi. Definitely next on my own ‘to read’ list.
