The Book of Chameleons | José Eduardo Agualusa
Pickpick

A complicated read, but it all ties together in the end. Narrated by a gecko, a reincarnated philosopher, events are observed and analyzed. The philosophical gecko then communicates with the other characters through dreams. #ReadWithMrBook @MrBook -narrated by animal

"I'm a liar by vocation," he shouted. "I lie with joy! Literature is the only chance for a true liar to attain any sort of social acceptance."

I had to share with my first #lpmbc @arubabookwoman @sprainedbrain @jmofo I chose this book for #ReadWithMrBook - narrated by an animal. I'm reading an interview with the author and it mentions that Jorge Luis Borges is reincarnated as the narrator in the book. I would not have known who Borges was if it hadn't been for Litsy and the Postal Mark-up Book Club. 😊😊

sprainedbrain It‘s wonderful how sharing books with friends expands our knowledge! 😊â¤ï¸ 4y

"The silence that hung between them was full of murmurings, of shadows, of things that run along in the distance, in some remote time, dark and furtive."
