For myself, I'm going to be reading Hiding in the Open, by Sabina Zimering. It's a memoir by a Holocaust survivor who now lives here in the Twin Cities. A while back, I was substitute teaching at a school where they honored her as a woman of substance. She said a few words that day, and seemed like an inspiring person! I can't wait to read what promises to be a moving and amazing story.
What are you reading this month?
This sounds like a great read! I'm going to put it on my list :) I've just finished reading The Prague winter by Madeleine Albrigh: it's a wonderfully written history of former Czechoslovakia (the country where I was born before it split in two), the world war 2 and the holocaust. It was a breathtaking read! And right now, I'm reading The Great Gatsby: getting ready to see the movie :)

I wish I had a little more free time, so I could dedicate it to reading... I want to re-read "Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov. I have read it in Russian version, now I want to read it in English.
ReplyDeleteI actually read movie review. Supposedly, it is very moving.. Now I want to do both: read the book and watch the movie:-)
I just finished reading Master and Margarita for my Russian lit class! I really liked it :). Of course, I read it in English... It would be amazing to be able to read it in its original language!
DeleteMy choice - Moon and Sixpence - W. Somerset Maugham. Actually, he is my favourite writer, I adore all of his works!!! "Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov is a great book as well, I saw in comments you want to read it, I highly recomend it to you too!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time!
Best wishes, Alexandra
