Super, non mi ricordavo di averlo letto e nob mi ricordo bene la storia. La sensazione lasciata dal ricordo però è super positiva. Mi ricordo una lettura veramente geniale e imprevedibile. Molto bello

Just finished this 600 page book! The story was rich with imagery, and revolved around Mevlut. A boza seller that moved from his village to Istanbul as a child. You see the growth of the city throughout Mevlut‘s life, as he stays loyal to his city and the people he loves. This is a book that needs to be savored!

Billypar @TheBookHippie I visited Harrisburg a few years ago, and they have one of the best bookstores I've ever seen. I was from Lansdale, closer to Philly. My dad was Coast Guard but he left after I was born so we didn't move around. 3mo
Billypar @TheBookHippie I was born in the 80s, and I grew up hearing all the lies about how bad disco was supposed to be, lol. That must have been incredible to experience it on the dance floor! 🕺💃 3mo
TheBookHippie @Billypar it was a beautiful time in my life. They lied because they didn‘t like gay people, it had nothing to do with the music . The music was everything. 🪩 3mo

Billypar @TheKidUpstairs It might be this brown creeper I saw once. I couldn't get enough of its strange waddle up and down the tree trunk. You? 3mo

Started this one last night. This has been on my TBR list for maybe 4 years now. Wish I would have picked it up sooner. The storytelling is wonderful so far- It‘s over 650 pages, but it‘s moving quickly!

An intricately detailed, meditative account of obsessive love set in 1970s Istanbul, this novel brings its narrator's world to vivid life. Kemal, son of a wealthy family, seems destined for a happy marriage and bright future until his fixation on a beautiful shopgirl becomes the focal point of his life. Somehow this hyperfocus gives the book a surreal air, the internal workings of Kemal's mind taking precedent over any other point of view.

#IdiomInsight Day 5: There are definitely some #CutCorners in this lemon cheesecake with lemon sorbet on the side. Taken a month ago while in Bodrum, Turkey. Naturally paired with a book by one of Turkey‘s finest novelists.

#BookBinge Day 13: This one #InvolvesFuneral towards the end owing to a family curse. Paired with Turkish tea in Mado while in Istanbul 2 weeks back. As I noted in my review yesterday: “I would have to say that my reading of this novel had been significantly enriched by my being in Istanbul at the time that I was reading it.” More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-pAz

This was quite an interesting read. Pamuk certainly has his own unique style of writing. The story is at the same time boring and interesting and you kind of want to not finnish and still you really can't. I think I would have gotten more out of this if I knew more about Turkish politics. I think I want to read more of him just to understand a bit better how he builds his stories. It feels also really unique.
