I've reserved Our Share of Night from the library having heard you talk about it. I'm one of those folk who tend to break up longer books by reading shorter books in between, but I did have a moment with a recent read when I reached the end, a great revelation happened - which had been hinted at in the beginning - and I'd completely forgotten which I cannot deny did dampen the impact. I'm also hearing a lot about Solenoid at the moment. Either way, I hope that you find some new favourites among these books.

I am extremely jealous that you not only got to see Nadine Gordimer in person, but got her autograph as well ❤❤❤ She is incredible, and I think your strategy is perfect, take the entire year to read her stories if you need to, the only way to read her wrong is to read her too quickly. Our Share Of Night has been pre-ordered here in the US. Really looking forward to it. Other long books on my TBR this year are Underworld by Don DeLillo (on TBR for 10 years) and A Sport of Kings by C.E. Morgan ( on TBR for 5+ years). Great list and great video!

This month I finished Vasily Grossman's Stalingrad which I started last year but had to put on hold because I was traveling and didn't want to carry a 2.5 lb book along with me. Afterwards I read the sequel, Life and Fate. So glad that read these books which are considered the War and Peace of World War II. This year I plan to read Hans Fallada's Every Man Dies Alone (another WWII novel) and Gulag by Anne Applebaum. Like you I definitely feel that reading a big book by itself from start to finish is the way to go.

Catch-22 is pretty simple: If you want to get away from war then you're not crazy, and if you want to stay - and fly more missions - then you're crazy. It sounds like a joke, but the fact is that the regulation governing sanity is designed to weed out the homicidal maniacs, who aren't moved by war's brutality. As for the others, one hopes the hardships are spread relatively equally, and, as in life, some people cope better than do others. [I don't think there any spoilers there]. The movie, starring Alan Arkin, is pretty good, but if memory serves there's a newer version - maybe a mini-series? - starring Geoge Clooney.
