July 2024 Reading List 📚🎧☕
Done:
Beartown by Fredrik Backman (Finally found the time to start and finish, not really what I was expecting when it was first recommended but a solid read overall).
Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki. (An interesting read, although I found the structure and content a little all over the place is some areas.)
Current:
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (opted for the english translation because the orginal may cause me to give up on german)
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Maybe this is the month when I finally finish this book. I fear this may turn into the Master and Margarita situation, except there's no cat this time)
To-read:
The Twins by Saskia Sarginson (re-reading this again, this is a solid summer read)
Confucianism: The 4 Books and 5 classics (This one may take a while, almost 3000 pages)
As usual, feel free to drop some recommendations please!
geisha are absolutely not prostitutes btw
They are the equivalent to strippers here. They never engaged in sex acts but if you look throughout their history they were not treated well. Most being sold into that profession.
