I really like reading books, so here are some books that have read this year with a sentence or two (or more lol) on personal thoughts about them. There is another list of books read up to a certain point this year, please click here to read and scroll down to half the page: https://ranfren.neocities.org/log/log8/log8.html

Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica (fiction, 2017):

A metaphor about corporations and corruption and how they will still want to make money regardless of morality, even influencing consumers to change their viewpoints
of morality overtime to benefit them regardless of how inhumane it is.
A gritty story that’s not fun to read exactly, but glad it exists (hopefully this never happens in reality. My meat won’t taste good.).

Bambi by Felix Salten (fiction, 1923):

Blood, blood, blood. Didn’t expect this much blood. A character who at the beginning thought dead comes back and is killed
for real. A lot of death. Description of intestines pooling out. The movie everyone remembers
as the mother dying as the saddest part, but in the book that doesn’t happen the same way. Instead Bambi’s mother to make him more independent overtime starts disappearing to distance herself from him, which made me feel more sad than the movie depiction. Man/Human is also seen in the flesh in this
book, and I liked the way that the author wrote from the viewpoint of a deer who had never seen a human before try to understand what he was even looking at (Felix has made me realize that we are the true cryptids of the animal kingdom.)
The part where man also mimicked the deer’s voice using the deer whistle was unsettling, and Bambi 2
the movie by Disney actually adapts this scene that wasn’t present in the original movie.
The message of the book is that you must live life alone, and even if you try to avoid that, we all
die alone in the end. But its not in a sad way exactly, but on a more realistic viewpoint of having
to get used to living on your own. Watership Down on acid.
