Last Wednesday of August, what are everyone reading? Any nice summer-y books? 👀

A book club opted for Brave New World so I just started that today. Not sure how I haven't read it before.

I'm also working on a short story collection called The Encyclopedia of the Dead. I picked it up in Zagreb when I was looking for an English translation of a Croatian author I could take home with me.

I liked Brave New World when I read it for school, though I haven't read it since. I wonder what I would think of it now.

Same.

Oh I read Brave New World ages ago. I don't remember much of it, maybe it's due for a reread...

I read that in sixth grade, one of the first dystopian novels I had ever read right after Fahrenheit 451. It's really interesting how early that one was written— we hadn't even figured out DNA yet.
