Re: What Are You Reading? Jan. 2023
Yes, it is. I’m enjoying although I’m finding the translation clunky at times.
I’m now reading via Pigeonhole Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, the story of the friendship between an octopus and a night cleaner working at an aquarium. This particular octopus is very articulate when he’s thinking to himself, he’s quite clever and he’s called Marcellus.

Yes I found it a bit clunky too, and a bit "twee".
