Back on audiobooks since I got a library card (yay free monthly subscription). It feels good. I've read a couple books this year already, which is a pitiful number, but I'm not going to feel bad about it. Some years you read a hundred books, some years you read one. Or none. Audiobooks will bring that number up quite a bit since I can listen to them while driving. I've decided to try some local classics that I missed. First up: a contemporary* novel about a mysterious vigilante serving justice to criminals in 1950s Warsaw. (Zły by Leopold Tyrmand, English title is The Man with the White Eyes). If you live in a city that had a book written about it, read it and you'll get a ping of dopamine every time a place you know is mentioned. I highly recommend it. *....I've always had trouble with this, how do you get 'contemporary' to clearly mean contemporary to the mentioned work and not contemporary to the text mentioning it? I guess I could rewrite that sentence as "a 1954 novel about a mysterious vigilante serving justice to criminals in post-war Warsaw."
