The Robot Librarian's Reading Challenge discussion

This is a great way to explore literature from outside of your home country. And you can find books from just about any genre!

I'm thinking Dostoyevsky Reads Hegel in Siberia and Bursts into Tears translated from the Hungarian. That title alone, man!

I'm planning on The Seven Churches: A Gothic Novel of Prague by Miloš Urban.

I want to recommend the The Housekeeper and the Professor I loved this books so much!

I enjoyed the first book Before the Coffee Gets Cold this year, so I might read book two, Tales from the Café.

I used Anxious People by Fredrik Backman for this.

LOL I read East Asians Studies at uni. Books in translation have been a staple of my life for a very long time now. I have dozens of books in translation to read this year, same as any other.

For this purpose, though, I'll list the first Arabic language Booker International Prize winner, Celestial Bodies by Jokha Alharthi.

I loved What You Are Looking For Is in the Library

I read Around the World In 80 Days by Jules Verne

I read Houses with a Story ものがたりの家-吉田誠治 美術設定集 by Yoshida Seiji - 3/8/24

I read Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird by Agustina Bazterrica. ★★★

I loved Bazterrica's Tender Is the Flesh, but I found this one a little disappointing. Short stories are tough for me. I either love them or hate them.
