November #bookspin along with another favorite author. Focus had been a real struggle lately so only creeping along with both right now.

pickOnce again I am conflicted as to how to rate this. I think the beginning of this could have benefitted from better organization. There was a lot of information thrown out, out there that eventually started to make sense, is my only real issue.
I am always fascinated by “exploration“ type books even if a lot of them are motivated by greed and colonialism. There is still so much merit there.
Travelled about 6,900 miles from Vancouver, BC to São Paulo, Brazil, with my parents in 1982. #majicmonday

panThis started as an interesting story of an angry man living through his brother‘s slow death from AIDS. The writing and tone is a bit manic and in your face, but once I adjusted to it, it worked. But what ruined it for me is the main character is deeply misogynistic without examination of this and it gets so thick by the end it was just bad.
bailedIt started out great, but by page 121 my desire to read was almost non-existent. #HailTheBail 🙌🏼

pick#FoodandLit A little behind this month! I found a Bolivian restaurant about 40 min from me. I ordered beef saltenas, pupusas revuelitas and pork chicharron con yuca b/c they ate a lot of pork and yuca in the jungle. The book was good. Looking back it was a sad book after all the jungle adventures but I enjoyed it and was glad to see the main character‘s growth. Bolivia
pickWhat a magnificent tale of loss, grief and ethical uncertainty.
Typically, I'm not a fan of the literary genre, but this one really fascinated me.
This enigmatic, heartfelt journey through the Amazon, being immersed in a different culture while grappling with personal inner turmoil just worked for me.
Now I will also need to explore Bel Canto.
