2014 was for sure an amazing year for us! Most of our weekends were busy and we were most of the time on the road to some new destination. We took the time, more than ever, to discover Romania and its beauties. Mountains were in the top, as we went hiking as much as we could and as much as the weather allowed us to…and sometimes even if the weather didn’t necessarily allow us to. Here’s how 2014 looked liked in between the borders of Romania.
I read The American Pastoral some time ago, which wasn’t exactly my cup of cake, but still decided to give Philip Roth another chance. And it was indeed a wise decision, as ‘I married a communist’ amazed me in every possible way: language, story, characters.
I’ve never heard of Salman Rushdie before and I can’t really tell how I got to buy this book in the first place. I know for sure that the reviews written on the back of the book and the fact that Salman Rushdie was sentenced to death after writing it, really raised my curiosity to the maximum.
So simple, but still so brilliant! I read it very fast, it immediately caught my attention, although at a glance, it seems as if it lacks its sparkle, its I-don’t-know-what.
