The only #GoodReads giveaway I've ever won was a copy of #SalmanRushdie's #MidnightsChildren, but if there is any justice in the world I will also win a free copy of #RedSideStory by #JasperFforde, a book I've been waiting impatiently for ever since I first read #ShadesOfGrey in like 2010 or something. https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/383119-red-side-story

#Bolano #2666 捏着鼻子听了10个小时，还没get到。我弃坑了。。。
虽然没有很喜欢#MidnightsChildren 但一时也想不到什么别的作家。好在图书馆不知道为什么收了很多#SalmanRushdie 的书。看来接下来的两三个月要进入南亚次大陆了！
印度、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡，喜欢这些地方的英语作家讲的五彩斑斓的故事和他们那种若即若离的感觉，却一步都不想要踏足。想去的地方，只有台湾、日本。

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon mine is tiny, but it’s all big, difficult books I’ve been meaning to read for decades. I’m very good at avoiding them and diving into the next fantasy or thriller I come across. Just managed #MidnightsChildren and have #100YearsOfSolitude lined up so maybe this is the year :)

I have mixed feelings about it...
