Hey everyone. I realize that we're technically not "transpacific" anymore... but that shouldn't stop us from reading!
I heard an interview with Turkish novelist and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk tonight on CBC. His works sounded interesting, particularly his novels Snow and My Name is Red (both translated from Turkish).
My interest was piqued and I thought to myself, those might be interesting books to suggest to the book club...
You must realize that I don't have these thoughts terribly often, so it's something of an event when it does happen.
Thoughts?

Hmm...I just ordered both on amazon...because who can pass up: An interesting book reccomendation, packages in the mail, and a 15 dollar price tag?
ReplyDeleteNot I.

ReplyDeleteBest/ worst reason to quit a job. Applause.
ReplyDeleteAlso down.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a job so I can read on transit.
Mwaha! Books acquired - and I tentatively dipped my toe into "My Name Is Red" as I waited for the bus to come home. So far it's very interesting and I'm excited to finish my other book (tonight!) and dive right back in.
ReplyDelete*Auto-back pat* That'll do, Marc. That'll do.
I just got My Name Is Red in the maaaaail...yeheyyyyy!!
ReplyDeleteI got them both out of the library the other day, they both look excellent. Are we reading My Name Is Red? Or Snow?
ReplyDeleteEither. Both. Whatever your personal schedule and interest allows for, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it'd be interesting if some read "Red" and others read "Snow"?
