And the book of the year is../ A knihou roku se stala…

I don’t know how about you but I like to read (the proper English word for it would be a “bookworm”). I make myself read Czech books as well so that the Czech reading part of my brain (called the “czechothalamus“) doesn’t completely shut off. That is also why I am always on a lookout for a good Czech book. The Czech newspaper Lidove Noviny recently announced “The Best Book of the Year” called the “Lexicon of the Czech Literature“. It consists of 4 parts and contains a mixture of authors that were published exclusively by the Academia publishing company.

• 2nd place won a novel by Tomas Zmeskal called “Milostny Dopis klinovym pismem” (Love letter by cuneiform)
• 3rd place – Cormac McCarthy: “Cesta” (The Road)
• 4th place – Tereza Bouckova: “Rok kohouta” (The year of the rooster)
