Journal Entry 1 by wingvioloncellixwing from Groningen, Groningen Netherlands on Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Moving book about a young British man, Daniel Rooke, who is part of the first expedition to Australia. For a book review, see http://musingsofaliterarydilettante.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/the-lieutenant-by-kate-grenville/

Here's a quote from the book:

Warungin did not seem to find silence awkward. For Rooke it was like looking into a peculiar sort of mirror. Among his own kind, he was the one who made others uneasy with his silences. It was humbling to learn how to do nothing more than sit. Sometimes Warungin arrived with other men. Then Rooke sat like a child, wordless and ignored, while they talked too fast for him to catch any sound that made a word he knew.

I received this book in Sevilla from a friend, thoroughly enjoyed reading it in Barcelona, and will soon pass it on to another friend in Valencia.
