The flamingoes stretched out their wings like ballet dancers on tiptoe, and in their dance, they revealed the secret of eternity.

The Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julian Carax. But when he sets out to find the author's other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence. Soon Daniel's seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.

Now that I'm going to Barcelona I've been thinking about re-reading The Angel's Game, which is one of my favorite books ever but feels rather macabre since it's the equivalent of "Yay! I'm going to walk the streets where my fav fictional writer David Martin lost his mind!"

I don't belong to any side. What's more, I think flags are nothing but painted rags that represent rancid emotions. Just seeing someone wrapped up in one of them, spewing out hymns, badges and speeches, gives me the runs. I've always thought that anyone who needs to join a herd so badly must be a bit of a sheep himself.

This is one of my all time fave books and I had such a great time re-reading it. It'd been a while since I last picked it up and I'm so glad I did. Definitely feel like I need to give the rest of a series another go too.

Hey, how has your week been so far? Have you been reading anything interesting? I finished reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It was a little bit different from the books I've read recently so it was a nice change. It's a science fiction story that plays around with quantum mechanics.

"
La justicia es una afectación de la perspectiva, no un valor universal. No voy a fingir una consternación que no siento, y supongo que usted tampoco, por mucho que lo pretenda."

Il folle è consapevole di esserlo? O i pazzi sono coloro che vogliono convincerlo della sua follia per salvaguardare la loro esistenza insensata?

Re-listening to The Angel's Game ahead of the Spain trip and lol wow I'd forgotten just how cynical David is as a narrator while simultaneously being hyper idealistic and romantic in nature? Which I guess makes sense given that this novel is basically a giant confession.

|E’ la tua voce che mi tranquillizza.
E’ il tuo modo di parlare, il tuo modo di chiamarmi,
quel nomignolo che mi riservi.
E’ il fatto di immaginarti perch�� non posso vederti.
E’ dovermi figurare la smorfia della tua bocca.
E’ che sei tu.
E quando si tratta di te, io non lo so che mi succede.
Per quanto cerco di trattenermi, se si tratta di te, io sono felice|
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
