We are starting the second meeting of our book club, along with a recommendations for this month. I hope you’ll settle in nicely with a cup of tea, a glass of wine, hot chocolate, or a bowl of popcorn and enjoy your reading!
1. “A Man Called Ove” (rating 10/10): Frederick Backman: This is one of my favorite books. A beautiful, humorous, and emotional story about a grumpy and misunderstood old man who finds new meaning in life through unexpected friendships. It will definitely make you laugh and perhaps evoke a few sparks (read a lot) of sadness and empathy in your heart.
2. “Norwegian Wood” (rating 9/10) Haruki Murakami: The book is a masterpiece! It explores love, loss, and trauma. Murakami creates a mysterious atmosphere, immersing us in a 3D world of unique characters and unusual events. Something you haven’t read before.
3. “Lo que jode encontrarte un calcetín desparejado” (rating 7/10) Nando Abad: Translation in English would be something like: “The annoyance of finding a mismatched sock.” However, I am afraid there is only a Spanish edition for now! 😦 Let me know if you find the English version!
Anyway, I read it on Serbian. Such an entertaining book that I couldn’t put it down! The first 50-80 pages describe everyday life challenges, and I must admit it was quite boring. However, you won’t expect the escalation of events!! From a torn sock to murder? No, it’s not a crime novel. I hope it piques your imagination because the book is bizarre, fun, hilarious, and the events border on absurdity!
4. “The Four Agreements” (rating 10/10) Don Miguel Ruiz: Seemingly a book that doesn’t promise much. However! It holds a lot of wisdom for self-reflection and personal development. Through the prism of ancient Toltec philosophy, it will truly stimulate your thoughts on life, freedom, authenticity, and the purpose and destination of our lives after this one.

Knjizevni klub #2
Zapocinjemo drugi krug naseg knjizevnog kluba, uz preporuke za ovaj mesec. Nadam se da cete se smestiti fino uz neku solju caja/casu vina/toplu cokoladu ili ciniju kokica i uzivati u citanju!
1. “Covek zvani Uve” (ocena 10/10); Frederik Bakman: Ovo je jedna od mojih omiljenih knjiga. Prelepa, duhovita i emotivna prica o jednom dzangrizavom i neshvacenom starcu koji pronalazi novi smisao zivota kroz neocekivana prijateljstva. Definitivno ce vas nasmejati a i mozda ce i po koja isckrica (citaj mnogo) tuge i saosecanja zaigrati u vasem srcu.
2. “Norveška šuma” (ocena 9/10) Haruki Murakami: Knjiga je remek-delo! Istrazuje ljubav, gubitak i traume. Murakami stvara misterioznu atmosferu, uvodeci nas u neki 3D svet jedinstvenih likova i neobicnih dogadjaja. Nesto sto niste do sada citali.
3. “Bas je nezgodno kada nadjes rasparenu carapu” (ocena 7/10) Nando Abad: Toliko zabavna knjiga da ja nisam mogla da je ispustim iz ruku! Prvih 50-80 strana opisuje neke svakodnevne izazove zivota i moram priznati da je bila poprilicno dosadna. Medjutim, necete ocekivati takvu eskalaciju dogadjaja!! Od jedne rasparene carape do ubistva? I ne- nije krimi roman. Nadam se da vam je zagolicalo mastu jer je knjiga bizarna, zabavna, urnebesna a dogadjaji na granici apsurdnosti!
4. “Četiri sporazuma” (ocena 10/10) Don Miguela Ruiza: Naizgled knjizica koja ne obecava mnogo. Medjutim! Toliko ima mudrosti za samoproucavanje i licni razvoj. Kroz prizmu drevne toltecke filozofije, stvarno ce vas pokrenuti na razmisljanja o zivotu, slobodi, autenticnosti i kako i zasto smo dosli i gde se mi to odlazimo nakon ovog zivota.
