While he's still a white guy, Saramago is NOT from the US (Portuguese) and the book is a translation, which I realize now was not one of the resolution options but maybe it should be because I've managed to hit it twice now. Also the book was published pre-2000 so fulfills on two counts.
Also the Sedaris book counts, and while I feel like that is sort of cheating, it is older than the 2000s so yeah. Maybe I should call those books "Resolution - lite"
ALSO today is Tom's birthday so HEY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU!
*Home buying and selling stuff (that I won't talk about yet because superstitions, but promise I will keep updates as things happen and are actually set-in-stone) as well as a snowstorm that sort of screwed up my Monday, though it did mean I got to hang out with some friends for extra time so that was pretty awesome. Even if I'm super tired and have crammed far too much caffeine into myself.
** As a reminder, as much for myself as for you guys, my resolution was to read more non-white, non-US, authors and read more books that are older than the 2000s. Perhaps amendments will be made to this.
