A bit slow when I read it, I was not in the proper time to truly experience this book. Still want to read it though
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Lovely little book. I finally get the references to the rose and the fox in contemporary pop culture and media.
And it’s a beautiful exploration of what home means, and love and friendship as well as what one’s purpose is.

Skinship by Yoon Choi
A short stories on the experience on the Korean American diaspora.
As with many short stories, some were a hit and some were a miss as they went on topics/ issues that I wasn’t particularly fawning over

The Happiest Man on Earth: The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor by Eddie Jaku
Absolutely beautiful little book about Jaku’s experience as a young man coming into his adulthood at the same time as the Nazis’ consolidation of power. A short concise book of his experience under Hitler’s rule and the atrocities, but also ultimately a book about family, and love and hope and the light at the end of the tunnel and happiness.
I loved that even while working to this message of hope, he doesn’t hide his frustration and anger as he experienced all this this, nor does he imply that in happiness he has somehow understood.
In love with this book, this story and my eternal friend Eddie Jaku.
