This books was my first read of the year and it was really interesting because it was basically a field journal of an anthropology student and their time spent in an African country of a people that many didn't really hear off. It gives a glimpse into the fieldwork of many students and the trials and tribulations but also jubilations that come with spending nearly a year away from home

This book reminded me what it's like to feel so close to characters and their lives that you want to spend every single second with them, and how it feels to miss them when the book ends. If you're at all like me and you love dissecting the subtle (often mundane or unglamorous) intricacies of daily human life, this book will blow you away. Savas writes in a way that made me feel seen and alive. I've been reading her other works and she's just a star.

A very interesting book about what we assume we know (and donβt) about other people !! interesting read that takes real life examples and dissects them very well imo

Animalia is novel by French author Jean-Baptiste Del Amo and it may be the best book i have ever read. It is set on a family pig farm around WWI and in the 1980s and is RIFE with disgusting beauty, shocking physicality, unusual astoundingly imaginative turns of events and both wonderful humanity and wonderful inhumanity. the writing is dense but never tedious as are the emotions and feral motivations it explores. i found myself laughing out loud not at how funny it is but at how incredible it is. i wish it were 3,000,000,000 pages long. it is his first work translated into english and my bandmate, who introduced me to it, is learning french just so she can read his other books.
