pickIn this novella, based on a true story, รric Faye recounts beautifully and poetically how the main character, a single man in his fifties, discovered a woman was using his place when he was absent...
The themes of solitude, intrusion, and meaning of life are very well explored despite the brievety of the book.

Meh. I thought this very short read was going to be more #ThoughtProvoking than it turned out to be. I'm not exactly sure what the author's intention was... I enjoyed the double perspective but this didn't do it for me.

Okay I'm jumping in to #31bookpics by @howjessreads! I hope I can be as consistent as I was in September ๐ช
This is the book I'm most recently #currentlyreading. Published as 'Nagasaki' in English, this French novel set in Japan tells the story of a man who finds his quiet household and simple life disrupted by small amounts of food disappearing and decides to video monitor his home... I don't know what he's going to find...
What a lovely assortment of carefully selected books that just fits me to a T! Not a one had I already read, and are they ever my kind of books! Thank you soooooo much, @erzascarletbookgasm !!!๐ป๐๐ป๐

pickI visited Nagasaki in 2005 and am drawn to any books I can find about this city. This pic shows the book with some of my photos from a memorial to those killed by the atomic bomb.
Nagasaki is about being on the edge of society. I wasn't sure how to rate this book. It wasn't long enough and was so understated that it was easy to miss the depth of the story. I have continued to think about it and pick through its meaning so it deserves a Pick.
This photo has NOTHING to do with this book, but it does show the reason why I haven't yet finished this book today. The book is just across the room... But with Lola cat on my lap it's like it's a million miles away.
