Weekend Reading - September 26, 2016

Known and Strange Things by Teju Cole
4 stars



Essay collections, in general, I find really hard to review.  While all of these were beautifully written, I thought some were definitely more interesting than others (which happens when a collection is put together).  There was a common theme of passion; reading, photography and travel.  While I mostly loved the reading and travel sections, I skimmed some of the photography.  I would recommend keeping this collection on your bedside and dipping into it after a long day as it is very calming.  This is a well known, highly esteemed author and the essay collection reflect that well.  I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
