A book

Hi Monday morning blogsters. One of the best things I've read in recent years is Snow by Orhan Pamuk. I read it about 12 months ago. I read it because I'd heard a lot of good things about the author. At first it reminded me of Dostoyevsky but as the story progressed it found its own feel. I liked peering into another world, another culture, and seeing things that are quite alien to me. The story is about a poet who goes back to his home town after 12 years and the things that happen on his return. It highlights some important political, social and religious issues regarding modern day, small-town Turkey. One of the most interesting parts of the book is about a group of young girls who go on hunger strike regarding the use of religious head-dresses. I think the book was very well written. I’m reading another by the same author (My Name is Red) and recently acquire a 3 of his novels (The Museum of Innocence).



Today I'd like to write about a book you read and enjoyed.
