Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz

As I couldn't remember this book at all, I reread it and now I get it why I forgot it so completely. It's beautiful - it's a bit like reading a very long and mysterious poem in prose, but it was a book about nothing. There are some eccentric members of family, some strange neighbours, some more or less important objects, some half-cooked love story, a bit of magic - all this mixed togethed and served in a wonderful poem-prose. I've just finished reading it and I already don't remember most of it.  Definitely not for me and I'm not going to read this book ever again.

7 - a book you were supposed to read in school but didn't

My challenge this week is to read a book I was supposed to read in school but I didn't - well, such a book doesn't exist, as I read all my books. But, as I discovered lately, I don't remember some of them. So I decided to reread one of them and I chose: Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz I remember that I enjoyed that one and I hope rereading it will be a nice experience for me. We'll see! :)
