Finished this wonderful book “The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida” by Shehan Karunatilaka on the train this morning. Now in that post-book mourning phase. It is a wonderful, beautiful, gripping story and really: just get yourselves into it. Will certainly read it again, once I’ve lent it to the many people I’ve promised it to! #recommendedbook #Goodreads

“How strange space is, and how capricious the laws of optics and perspective, that they should permit even the smallest child to cover the sun with one of his fingers." -- Karl Schwarzschild, quoted in When we Cease to Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut.

The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis: Solid characters, interesting story with some surprise, correct Spanish inserts! (I guess the Japanese too). Enjoyable.
