Vargas Llosa--Feast of the Goat--last days of Dominican Republic's dictator--Trujillo

https://www.amazon.com/Feast-Goat-Mario-Vargas-Llosa/dp/0374154767
I had this book. I got on a plane and someone was reading it.
One scene that stays with me is when Trujillo got old and became incontinent.
This book in somewhere in my boxes.
I changed subway lines, and in 15 minutes, I saw Gary Jenning's Aztec in the hands of 2 people, at the time I was reading it too.
This doesn't happen now bc I travel less
I don't commute to work.
People read on tablets or Kindle, don't read print books anymore.
A pity.
Kaung.
