30 Days Book Challenge Day 23: A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
I’ve been trying to finish the classic series Buru Quartet from Pramoedya Ananta Toer for some years, but found myself stalling to start the last book House of Glass. The sudden change of narrative point-of-view, and the sense of impending doom and loss made me hesitant to go through it. The series covered the rise of Indonesian independence movement in early 1900. And frankly, the exile of the hero, a pioneering journalist who launched the first Indonesian newspaper, that started the finale book daunted me. The series is already hard to read as it is, and knowing that it wouldn’t end well for him is something I have to brace myself for sometime soon.
