Summer 2020 Books - Part 1
I have got a few books for my summer vacations, which have been extended since the company went insolvent.
Siddhartha
Interesting read. I felt connected to the protagonist multiple times, although there were also times in the story that I thought some of his decisions were wrong, and I will/would not fall into the same traps.
I enjoyed reading about a well-written journey to enlightenment.
There are some good life lessons to be learned here.
Enhiridion
I expected more from this. The book is small, the phrases are few and did not seem to contain deep wisdom.
The old man and the sea
A masterpiece. I could hardly put it down, I read it in two parts, which is enough, since this is a short story.
The descriptions are vivid and captivating.
The backstory is intriguing and allows the reader to fantasize about it.
The actual story keeps you wondering what will happen next.
I would recommend this to anyone.
