Sickly summer continues! I happened to read this after Everything is Tuberculosis by coincidence but I guess I should keep the theme going. Quite the challenging read because of pacing and vocabulary (extremely helpful for GRE prep, I'll say), but a timeless story with compelling philosophies around disease and life. I also wasn't expecting some of the character sentiments to resonate with me too! Tarrou you would have loved Twelve Angry Men.
