Good. Also recommended- The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski, Times Arrow and Zone of Interest by Martin Amis, Mother Night, Bluebeard, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Just a few off the top of my head. Although one will find the books I've recommended in the fiction section I believe this to be categorized under autobiographies like the Diary of Anne Frank. It's interesting that subject categorization is often not mentioned. How does one even find the book on a shelf if they are searching in the wrong section? As in; the college student who said I must read this wasn't aware this wasn't a work of fiction. More of a memoir. Or it's a translation from Yiddish to French to English and that this is its second translation. Or how about the fact that this is the first book in a trilogy, Night, Dawn, Day. I'm not a fan of translations or nonfiction so this is definitely an exception of a book. Plus it's easily read in three or four hours. I will never pay a 'Professor' of any academic institution to 'teach' me. But some will never read but what others they've paid to require them to read in order to gain the requirements for their academic certification but will only learn what they are taught and nothing else. This is why people with an expensive education are the most boring especially if they have a degree in art, philosophy, or English because the think they are superior for institutionalized dogma.
