Dominika's Reading Challenge

I'm so glad I decided to read this book! Not only was it engaging and really informative, but also so well-written, that reading it was a real treat. I especially liked the first part of the book, where the author wrote about her early life in Romania - by the way, after reading this book that country seems an extremely scary place I'd never want to visit. The second part, where she writes about other people, was less interesting for me and I did not enjoy it as much as the first part. I was afraid this book would be very sad and depressing - it was sad and scary and difficult to accept, but I couldn't stop reading it. I think Herta Muller is an extremely talented author and this book was fascinating.

I'm going to cheat a bit this week (again :) ). I got a prize-winning book this week, but I don't have one with me, as I'm still at hospital. So I decided it's going to be a prize-winning author instead.  I chose: Immer derselbe Schnee und immer derselbe Onkel  by Herta Muller . As far as I know, this book didn't get any prize, but this author got the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature, so it has to be enough. I just hope this book is not going to be too depressing!
