Finally found a good Dutch SciFi book and the #bookworm in me is zo blij!
Storing by Jan D. Westerman
I was skeptical because he is from 1933, and old people tend to write in Dutch very dry. But nooooo! He's good!!!!

So here is the Dutch book I just got for free once cleaned (there's still some of the sticky stuff, I could post the pictures but idk since they reimbursed me I don't want the poor guy getting fired for food), De Avonden by Gerard Reve (The Evenings in English I think?), a nice evening read 😁 A Dutch classic right at my reading level and in the kind of setting I like 🫶 #dutch #dutchbooks #dutchliterature #books #classics #dutchclassics #literature #reading #readers #readingcommunity #booklovers

I have been talking about this book to many of my friends over the years but the English translation has been out of print since 1989. Finally I found an affordable copy of J.Bernlefs Dutch classic online at a second hand #bookshop in Boston. Not even the biggest of surprises since the story takes place in #Massachusetts. And got it delivered here in #melbourne
But now others will have to read it, because I want to discuss this book with the people here in #australia that didn't grow up with this book on their high school reading lists. And the book is certainly a better read once you get a few years older than you were in highschool.
