The bluest eye

I am currently reading The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison. It is a really good book. It is sad, powerful and funny and written with a lot of naivity sometimes. When I say 'funny', I mean that some paragraphs make me smile or laugh, but make me feel uneasy and guilty at the same time because of the themes covered by the book, namely racism and child molestation.



By the way: I have not finished reading the History of the World yet! I think this one will keep me going for the next year or so. You cannot really take it with you when you travel, it is half the size of the coffe table!!!
