Was curious what else apart dystopias? Burmese Days is about moral suffering of a lonely Brit living in colonial Myanmar. He is a disappointed man who doesn't feel being connected to compatriots. A deep dive in the lives of British colonial officials and businessmen of the time

I will love to read this.
That looks interesting read! I have only read 1984 from him. I should read that one next! Thanks for the recommendation.
Yes, it was a good read but rather about despair of a lonely person. Colonialism too, in background. The main character is critical to colonialism but his friend, an Indian, feels the opposite. So readers can listen & think themselves. The book can be curious who r interested in history.
yes, sounds interesting getting the two perspectives in one book! Good to see reality is not the same for two different people.
Are you reading an edition from Everyman’s Library?
Nope. Already finished the book. Wanted to say it in the snap but too few letters allowed, lol.
The cover looks great and somewhat similar to how Everymans Library make their covers.. their books are top notch, the paper quality, hardcover and special introductions
I also love the book quality - a good font of the optimal size, pleasant pages... But this time I read an e-book.
That's a very tricky reading.
Did you read it?
No. However, considering the theme, I think it's a good one.
