It's always a treat to see Pip. Night is an extremely powerful book. I reread it a few years ago and I found it to be more powerful than when I first read it in high school.
I don't know if you've read his essays, but Borges is more insightful and fascinating about a work like The Divine Comedy, Hawthorne, Don Quixote, than most critics. He had an incredible memory. After he was blind he continued to write and lecture on Kafka, Arabian Nights, Divine Comedy....He would dictate lines to friends and those who visited him and ask them to write it down and re-read it back to him. Remarkable man.
One of these days, if you ever have the time, please consider doing a video on your go-to source for audiobooks and, if possible, what you think is the best deal. Glad to see you're getting more into Borges. Cheers.
Glad to see Pip earning his salary. Pip doesn’t appear to have hate in his heart, but I would suspect a bit of mischievousness. Chekhov’s plays? You can keep’em - but his stories? Mmm mmm. I didn’t much like Borges when young. Time for a revisit? You read a lot of interesting stuff - even if no corkers.
Just reading my first Phil K. Dick - Ubik. Best wishes and happy reading from over the water.
_Killin'_ it! 🎉
Yes, it’s time to read Night. I just borrowed from hoopla as the wait list on Libby is many weeks.

@@unstopitable I have been pondering an audiobook video .
Well I managed to finish 21 books this past week. Only one was long the rest just easy paper backs. It is great to clean off some of my shelves !!!
21 in a week? 😮 Even if they were easy that is what I do in a month.
Making great progress!
Nice progress!
Must get to Borges 😢
@@allenmahan9393 I’m always on the look out for used copies of Borges for you, but no dice.
Me too, I have the same books Greg has. Might have to wait until January
@@anotherbibliophilereads Thx! 😊

I think a certain doctor could have used the Read What You Own challenge.
