Blindness by Jose Saramago
This is about an extremely infectious strange epidemic of blindness. Told in third person and the first 33% takes place in the quarantined place for the blind. I'm trying to understand what is any good about this book. The author won a nobel prize at some point so perhaps there's a pretentious emperor's new clothes thing going on. Other than that I guess some people would find his insights into people's psychology, etc interesting. But my own are far better and as such there's nothing worthwhile about this. I stopped 33% in. Yes, people are blind. It's very infectious and happening very suddenly and people are acting as one would expect. The insights are uninteresting to me.
