Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on the 5000 subscriptions!! I’m finding quite tough to pick my favourite book so far this year. There have been many… I can’t decide between Atwood’s “The Blind Assassin”, De Bernières “The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts” (usually I’m not very fond of magical realism but this novel… it’s brilliant!) and “All Souls” by Javier Marías (because he has a quite special and beautiful style).
Btw, my twitter account is private, would you mind if I sent you the link to the screencap?

So much talk about The Blind Assassin this year! I loved The Handmaid’s Tale, but that’s the only Atwood book that I’ve read, so far. Her new one (MaddAdam) sounds really good, too.
And don’t worry about the screencap – I know ya. 🙂
LikeLike
I read The Handmaid’s Tale about a year ago and loved it! And I must say I even enjoyed The Blind Assassin more! About MaddAdam I read the first volume this summer and it blew me away, in more or less the same way The Handmaid’s Tale does. I mean it has nothing to do with it – I actually find it more ‘scary’ – but it is also an invention of a near future which (unfortunately) isn’t that unlikely.

Soseki’s Kusamakura is pretty much monologue, but I personally adore this story, sooo much. My own copy is a well-loved one (full of highlights, dogears, crumples…). People say that it is a haiku book, and Soseki himself mentioned that he wanted to give an impression of beauty to those who read this book – so no plot lines, or significant character development…
Perhaps it is not for everyone, but anyway, if you have time, you should check his work.
