Chapter 23 has monkeys in it
"A monkey jazz band was now disporting itself frenetically on the stage behind the tulips, where the King of the Waltz had played before. A huge gorilla with shaggy side whiskers conducted with a trumpet in its hands, bobbing up and down clumsily. In one row, orangutans were blowing into gleaming trumpets. On their shoulders sat merry chimpanzees with accordions. Two baboons with manes like lions played pianos, which were not heard amidst the thunder and squeals and booming of saxophones, violins, and drums in the hands of gibbons, mandrills and marmosets."

Book Burning Memorial at Bebelplatz, Berlin
Greetings Booqclubers,
I just wanted to share this with y'all. I think it's quite an evocative piece.
Empty white bookcases commemorating the book burning parties of them Nazi motherfuckers. For more visuals go here.
How's the reading going? Shall we meet after the holidays or before-ish?
Maybe we can have a mid-book discussion if need be. Or not. Or whatever.
But regardless... READ ON mateys!!
