Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! I read "An Apprenticeship, or the Book of Pleasures" by Clarice Lispector. One of Brazil's leading authors. It's haunting, deep, and personal. A great book that doesn't follow the path of a traditional romance and instead inspects one side in a personal reasoning for finding her humanity.
