The old curmudgeon diary sequel! It’s honestly pretty fascinating to read about nursing homes in the Netherlands. Also just learning about the Netherlands in general through an old man’s eyes is pretty fascinating. I don’t think it will totally age well since it’s mostly current events and in Europe no less but I really found it engrossing.
