Welcome to Litsy!

The Chabon & the Bowles are still on my TBR, but all four of these titles made me think of sweltering heat & #summernights I might have to add the Chabon to my #24in48 stack. I recently reread The Stranger & find Camus to be much more affable, & aesthetically pleasing, than Sartre.

(Amazing invitation to a fight:) 'If I'm mistaken as to the actual nature of your lower extremeties, I beg you to join me in the courtyard of this house, at your leasure but preferably soon, so that, with the pedagogical instrument of your choice, you may educate me.'

A story about the adventures of 2 Jewish bandits who get roped into a rebellion a plot for the throne of the kingdom of Khazar. Not one of my favourite Chabon books but still a decent read.

This was a quick, somewhat enjoyable read. I like Chabon. Wonder Boys is one of my favorite books. This one was definitely a departure from his usual fare. I liked it in principle, found the characters interesting, etc., but it wasn't very deep at all. I know he was going for "Jews with swords" (in his own words), but I'd like to have had him slow down and explore the characters and world a little more. Overall, just so-so.

Thanks @rohit-sawant for tagging me! I feel like a #rainbowbookstack is called for today 🌈🌈🌈

#thisshouldbeamovie It would be a rollicking one. #seasonsreadings #day10 @RealLifeReading

#setineastreneurope #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading Well, Zelikman and Amram are running around the Caucasus Mountains.

Written in the spirit of the old adventures novels with twists and turns in every chapters. I enjoyed it a lot. It's part of the charm of the story that there is some over the top elements and twists. I liked the atmosphere, the characters, especially Zelikman. It's a fantasy romp in a fantasy central Asia in the 10th century. Short yet lively book. It's a nice way to escape reality for a few hours. 💕💖
