February has been a very enjoyable reading month for me. I’ve kept to my strict abandonment policy and been rewarded with one good book after another.
Book of the Month
Books reviewed in February:
Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick
The Death of Grass by John Christopher
Care of Wooden Floors by Will Wiles
Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson
A Novel Bookstore by Laurence Cossé
Purgatory by Tomás Eloy Martínez
The Twyborn Affair by Patrick White DNF
Plans for March
I’m going to finish The Half Brother, an amazing Norwegian book, which has been dominating my February reading time because it contains 750 pages of tiny type. I also hope to read most of these:
A Death in the Family by Karl Ove Knausgaard
The Golden Scales by Parker Bilal
The Great Singapore Penis Panic by Scott Mendelson
The Boy Who Fell To Earth by Kathy Lette
Death in Breslau by Marek Krajewski
The Roundabout Man by Clare Morrall
We the Animals by Justin Torres
I hope that you have a wonderful March!
