I was not convinced but still worth reading

Another section: these books could have needed re-editing.. still memorable but I'd recommend something else.
(1) Nora Okja Keller: Comfort Woman. An interesting topic: the daughter tells the story of her mother who was forced in prostitution by Japanese soldiers during the 2nd World War.
(2) Ruth Ozeki: My Year of Meats. Food industries and relationships. Food industry part quite interesting, but you'd learn more about it from non-fiction.
(3) Jonathan Safran Foer: Everything is Illuminated. It's difficult to combine war memories with comedy. I think Foer succeeds in some parts.
