16. Isn't retirement great?

Klara and the Sun sounds great. "A thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?"

Ishaguro won the Nobel Prize In Literature in 2017, and the Nobel committee described his books as "novels of great emotional force and said he has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."

I look forward to your thoughts on it.
