Coincidentally (?), I just started a short novel by Pascal Garnier, "Boxes" -- from the blurb I gather things will turn out horribly, but meanwhile I like the little jokes he throws in.

I'm not reading this book right now, I did so a few months ago. I merely recommend it, it's an absolutely incredible true story which is now available on film, release date 2022-05-11.

I'm coming back to '1795' again, a scary read I guess.

I cannot read.
I am the letter and the text,
The Suzerain of nothing,
And the nonsense before the storm.

I have finished

Maren Haushofer: Die Wand

It was on my to be read list for some time. It came out in the 60's and is a nice reflection of what would happen if a person happens to be alone (cut off the rest of the world)

When I open a book that is well written, it's like stepping into another world and living with new people you have never met before, new thoughts, new experiences.

I believe Stephen King was my Mother's favorite, at least she had many books of his. I may have bought a few of them for her I believe. It has been awhile she passed back in 2015.

Great author.
'The Shining' is one of my favourite books.
