Can you guess which book this is? #tgif #bookstagram I read Normal People quite late, finished it last week—but having read two of Rooney’s novels, I’m realizing that I’m attracted to her writing the way I’m attracted to Hemingway’s style. Hemingway is the only other writer whose simple, concise words have a soulful effect on me, and it makes my heart happy that I’ve found a writer of my generation whose writing style speaks to my soul in the same way. It’s an amazing experience for me as a reader when I don’t identify with the characters, but the writing is so well constructed  that it speaks to my soul. 515 pages later… The Turkish writer Ayfer Tunç, one of the most talented fiction writers of contemporary Turkish literature, deserves so much more recognition. A gorgeous day to read outside with my buddies. Cyprus was the second country in my #readingaroundasia project. Here are some of the books in various genres from and about Cyprus I’ve listed. More wisdom & one of my favorite lines from de Button’s experimental novel The Course of Love. This is awfully satisfying to me… As I’m (slowly but surely) making progress in my Reading around Asia project, I’m going back to creating individual reading lists for the countries I’ve covered.
