Hi there, friends!
How times flies, it's already September :O
Hope everyone had a great month of August, with the best to come in what remains of 2022.
Sharing my reading update...
August 2022: Ministry of Moral Panic
The short stories' format is always easy to manage and the slice-of-life themes conveyed in this book are rather endearing and quite uplifting, in a humorous manner. It's always interesting reading real life stories from perspectives that differ widely, although it's based on my neck of the neighbourhood. For visitors/ readers from other countries, they might glean some interesting insights into life in this part of the world through this book.
September 2022: Dumb Luck
For this month, I'll be reading my first Vietnamese novel, written by Vũ Trọng Phụng (edited and translated by Peter Zinoman). Banned in Vietnam until 1986, this 1936 novel supposedly provides a critical and satirical glimpse of late colonial Vietnam.
Have a lovely September ahead, folks! <3
