Book Binging: All The Names
All The Names by Jose Saramago
When I finished this book last night I was at a loss. What gives? Should I have not read it during those intervals when I was tired and my lids were drooping. Somewhere in that in between of awake and asleep, did I miss the finer nuances of this Nobel prize winning author? Then I realized it was just the ending that through me off and leaves me with a sense of now what?
I loved reading it. It is bittersweet and just plain funny at times. It is honest about people's relationships with each other and with themselves. It is about loneliness and how it can be channeled. It is about the fact that despite all the names which in the end are meaningless we all hold a true desire to search out love regardless of whether we find it or not.
