Reading for pleasure or growth? WhatKamilReads 2019-12-21 | Hi guys, a few weeks ago I read a post on one of social media platforms that was addressing the guilt of abandoning books that don’t give you pleasure and advocating for no-guilt, reading for pleasure policy. It triggered a few thoughts in my head that I’ll share with you today. Let's be friends that would make the earth quake (no it wouldn't but might be still at least a tiny bit nice :)Instagraminstagram.com/whatkamilreadsGoodreadsgoodreads.com/user/show/23253765-kamil
Quichotte by Salman Rushdie - Living in the Post-Truth Era | Booker 2019 review WhatKamilReads 2019-11-09 | Here is my take on Quichotte by Salman Rushdie as a meditation on post-truth world we are living in. Rushdie took the classic Cervantes novel and used it as a medium to describe the era of relativism where facts are equal with opinions. I also talk about my bittersweet relationship with Salman Rushdie's most acclaimed novel, The Midnight Children.
