At the moment I’m reading Dead Souls by Gogol. I’ve been at it for a while. It’s a bit heavy for a summer read, but I’m enjoying it somewhat. It’s fun to see all the colorful characters that come across, but I have the idea a lot is going over my head as I’m not that familiar with the Russia of that time. It’s sad quite a bit is missing of the second part.

Only about 70 pages left. The next book will definitely be something lighter…

How is it typically celebrated?

Het lijkt iedereen zo weinig te doen om me heen. Je ziet de levende wereld gewoon keihard achteruit hollen, en we gaan allemaal vrolijk door met ons leven…
