Ship of Theseus

I have NO CLUE what this book is about but I‘m SUPER INTRIGUED!! It‘s jammed packed with postcards, newspaper clippings, notes, personal letters, receipts, a napkin turned into a map. It‘s BONKERS!! And I‘m SO.HERE.FOR.IT!!! Thanks @BarbaraBB Have you read this @vivastory ??? I‘m pretty sure I stacked this after seeing a review from @TheAromaofBooks what did you just get me into???? I‘m a bit overwhelmed BUT in a REALLY good way😎

Empire Falls

Megabooks Stacking!!! Also I‘m thinking your bday present will probably be late. 😩 3y

BarbaraBB I know, that‘s why I bought you this one. It‘s just as good! I hope you‘ll enjoy it! 3y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! I really enjoyed this one despite (because of??) it's mind-bendy qualities. There are so many different ways to read it so you have to choose which method works best for you. I found this article helpful in summarizing ways to tackle the marginal notes - https://themisanthropologist.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/how-to-read-j-j-abrams-s - there are some minor spoilers for the book because this person summarizes the story, but if you skip down ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to “How to Read the Novel“ the person who wrote this article has some different perspectives on reading all the moving pieces. Overall I really did enjoy this one, but the writing itself wasn't amazing. It's definitely a story that you just have to ride it out haha Can't wait to hear your thoughts!!! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks, Sarah!! Im happy I‘ll be Buddy reading with @vivastory I think that‘ll help me process each section. Im gonna check out that article !! Thanks 😊 super helpful @TheAromaofBooks 3y

Cinfhen You‘re so sweet @Megabooks it‘s not even necessary / you gifted me an audio recently…did you forget??? 3y

Cinfhen @Flaneurette did you have a certain system how to read the novel? Which strategy did you use @TheAromaofBooks @Maike ??? I‘m thinking of reading each chapters text first/ then going back to the comments/ insets before I start the next chapter. Does that make sense?! 3y

TheAromaofBooks I kind of did it all at the same time, but when I was done reading the whole book, I went back & read all the marginal notes again in order, which meant going through the book multiple times. But I'm also someone who doesn't mind spoilers, so during my initial read-through I didn't mind that I was finding out what happened with Eric & Jen out of order haha 3y

Maike I also did it all at the same time, but I‘m not sure I would recommend it. I‘d suggest reading the novel part of it first and the margins on a second go. 3y

Cinfhen I‘m definitely going to avoid trying to read it all at the same time @Maike @TheAromaofBooks that seems wayyyyyyyy to overwhelming 🤪 3y
