Day 13 → A fictional book
Any fictional book? Okay, I'll go with the one I just read for school, Time's Arrow by Martin Amis. It reminds me a lot of Slaughterhouse 5, with a non-linear narrative and WWII and a dark sense of humor. Which happen to all be things I really like in a novel! It's a fairly simple plot that's told in a way that really requires the reader to think and get involved in the story- the kind where when you stop reading it takes a second to reorient yourself to the real world (at least for me). I love it when books that start off as school assignments end up becoming favorites, and this looks like it might be one of those. I might actually want to write a paper on this.
Also, for those in the US this Saturday is Free Museum Day. It's limited - you get two free tickets to one museum, but hey, it's better than paying full price.
