Chapu’s comments from the KC /int/ Book Club group.

hmmm... It's not always about how long a book is. Some books just flow faster than others. One Hundred Years of Solitude for example, flows like a river, it wouldn't surprise me that someone could read it in a couple of afternoons, a week tops. There are books that, even being short could take a longer time to read because the stile calls for a more reflexive reading. I am thinking about El túnel by Sabato for example. Maybe you can remember some examples for this in your language.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Those of you aspiring wizards should give a look at this book. Maybe it should be the next we read after the book of sand.

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With the Sea

recomending this one again, now with a propoer link.

Are you into some Mishima?
"the sailor who fell from grace with the sea" is awesome, with a subversive sense of morals. I would't mind re-reading it with you guys.
