Thanks for your post about the books you have read and thought and written about in the last year. There are some I have read and like as well. But are there some which you’ll read again and again. For me this is the test of the book as well my reading. Han Kang’s The Vegetarian is one of them. I have already read it twice and will read it again. I like her Greek Lessons and The White Book quite a lot. I read the books again not for the plot but for the language most of all and for the ideas and emotions. I apologise for this indulgence. You already know all this.
Let us keep reading and learning about the world but most importantly about ourselves. Read less books but read them more than once.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment, and for reading my substack. I really enjoyed reading Han Kang’s The Vegetarian—and the prose really stuck with me. I am now reading Human Acts, and thereafter, I will read Greek Lessons. Now, with your very kind endorsement for Greek Lessons, I am very excited to start reading it.
