The Confessions of a Bibliophile: Jonathan Safran Foer

Obviously my mother was a bit shocked about the gif in my last post, so I will keep this one very innocent and write about an author I quite enjoy reading.

I first read Everything Is Illuminated in Swedish back in 2003 and I have read it two or even three times in English. I was either crying or laughing, the letters from Alex are so cleverly written and the stories about the shetl are captivating and rather bizarre.

I can never remember the proper title of this book, even if I have read this one three times, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is written from the perspective of 10 year old Oscar, whos perceptive and reasoning is both relatable and outlandish.
