RJvanRenesseA few favourite books I read long time ago.
.
In no particular order, top row to bottom row, left to right:
Umberto Eco "Foucault's Pendulum" (Dutch translation); Haruki Murakami "Kafka on the Shore" (Dutch translation); Gabriel García Márquez "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (Dutch translation);
Milan Kundera "Immortality" (Dutch translation); Donna Tartt "The Secret History"; J.M. Coetzee "Waiting for the Barbarians"; David Mitchell "Cloud Atlas";
Richard Flanagan "Gould's book of fish"; Tony Morrison "The bluest eye"; Salman Rushdie "The Enchantress of Florence"
I've read most of these more than a decade ago, and although I would struggle to accurately explain the plot, I still remember how it felt reading these - how it felt to be drawn into by the prose, and immersed in the story. These are obviously all very different books, different in subject, style, themes, and times, but all share a degree of magic realism, and a sense of alienation.
