A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

3.0

---

I feel differently than most folks about this book. He was privileged. How very haughty of him to proclaim in the beginning that gentlemen don’t work. How privileged of him to be “imprisoned” in a fancy hotel. His family accumulated wealth while impoverished people existed all around him, how surprising he finds it. In some ways he disgusts me with naïveté. It’s easy to be a gentlemen with legs full of gold coins. Money affords you a lot of leeway.
