The Chilean-American actor, best known for his roles in Game of Thrones, the globally popular series The Last of Us, and The Mandalorian, as well as films like The Equalizer 2 and Wonder Woman 1984, recently shared on social media that he’s reading one of the best-selling novels by Polish author Olga Tokarczuk.

While relaxing in the sun during his vacation in Mexico, he picked up the English version of her book Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.

This isn’t the first time Pascal has shared a book by Olga Tokarczuk. Back in October, he posted the cover of the same novel and recommended it to his fans.

Hollywood stars seem to love Tokarczuk’s work as well. Just days before Pascal's post, pop singer and Grammy winner Dua Lipa called the same book "fantastic" and "absolutely stunning."

Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman also praised the novel, describing it as a magical blend of mystery, dark comedy, politics, and philosophy.
