00:00What did I read in May?
00:01Hazel said no. It's a very infuriating story, recommended if you want a book that talks about themes.
00:07important, with sensitivity and simplicity, making them accessible and without ever being heavy.
00:13In my opinion, it's a perfect summer read.
00:15An undisputed masterpiece, whose power lies in the fact that this book will remain forever relevant, Animal Farm.
00:22A satirical fable, I would say, very successful, which makes us reflect on how often revolutions born to create equality can transform themselves
00:31in oppression.
00:32Do yourself a favor and read it.
00:34Ken Greenhall's companion, highly recommended if you like Shirley Jackson atmospheres, so a little gothic, a little
00:42disturbing and with psychological distress.
00:44Super enjoyable for the writing, which is extremely refined, elegant, but never heavy and at times even poetic.
00:51It's a dark meditation on the freedom of how one ends one's days and the hypocrisy of normality.
00:58I Who Have Not Known Men is a crazy dystopian and philosophical novel, especially because once finished you
01:06will leave you staring into space for hours.
01:08It's a story that raises a thousand questions. You get to the end thinking you'll find the answers, but you don't.
01:15It's a huge reflection on reality, existence, freedom, and solitude.
01:22And it really leaves you with a lot to think about even after the last page.
01:26In the Heart of the Cat, by Gina Kyer, a book I've already talked about, which I really liked,
01:31which in my opinion perfectly represents the concept of a simple, yet highly impactful story.
01:36Finally, Beautiful Boy is a memoir in which David Sheff recounts his son's addiction to drugs.
01:43It is an extremely intense and touching read, precisely because we see the point of view of a parent.
01:49He is honest and deeply human, capable of describing the complexity of a situation that is often too easily judged.
01:57In reality then May ended with the beginning of this journey, the loneliness of Sonia and Sanni,
02:02which obviously given the size I will definitely bring with me for this week, even though I'm already halfway there.
02:08The backup is finished, if as always you said something, you intend to do it and you have any opinion about it,
02:15If you like, I'll wait for you in the comments.
