Salim
Salim is starting The Rembrandt Heist: The Story of a Criminal Genius, a Stolen Masterpiece, and an Enigmatic Friendship

Salim
Salim is on page 21 of 359 of The Seventh Function of Language
The pride feels _translated_, which is an injustice to the text.

Salim
Salim is on page 35 of 496 of Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe
The text and narrative are dry for such an exciting topic (and for a typically energetic writer)
