First book of the year done! I'm still thinking about what I truly thought of it, as it was a lot to process.
ReplyDeleteMy first book of the 2019 Challenge really engaged me. Sylvina Bullrich was a powerful Argentinian writer of the 1950s and 60s. I would never have found her if was not the requirement to read a book from the Americas. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI choose Walden for this category, since Thoreau is still such an American legend. Whew, lots of pre-conceptions were blown on their heads though.
ReplyDeleteI chose Mark Twain for this category. Even though I haven't read anything of his, I chose a less commonly known publication - The Diaries of Adam and Eve.
ReplyDeleteFifth book of the year done!

ReplyDeleteLinked to my review of The Home-Maker.
ReplyDeleteFinished One Hundred Years of Solitude and had the odd experience of enjoying and hating this book at the same time.

ReplyDeleteMalcolm Lowry's Under The Volcano. Whew! Good, I thought, but grim.
