Book #2: “My Name is Aram” by William Saroyan
I finished this in the same day as the last book - it was sitting on Yvonne’s bookshelf and reminded me of a Tie These Hands song of the same name. The two aren’t related in any way, but the music certainly proved a nice backing to the book.
It’s a collection of short stories revolving around Aram, a young Armenian boy living near Fresno, California.
I kinda can’t believe you posted this. But I might as well embrace it - this be th before photo. Note our fake enthusiasm.This is my before picture.
So, I’ve been moved in for two weeks how, and I’m starting this challenge that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. The goal is to read 52 books over the course of a year - so roughly a book each week.
I did start this book before tour, so arguably it shouldn’t count. But I need a good jumping off point, and this book took a ridiculously long time to read (with not a very satisfying ending, at that).
There’s a huge likelihood that I’ll occasionally be reading children’s books to make up for lost time….but the goal is more for quantity rather than quality. That, and picture books are fun.
So, well done flash games are my guilty pleasure. This one is my new favorite - the ending only makes sense if you’ve played it’s predecessor “The Company of Myself”, though.
