Welcome to Litsy!

I‘d say pick with an *. I went to audio, about the time I would kind of get bogged down, I would end up becoming interested enough to go on.It‘s frightening to see how an author can be lionized , his or her writings used as propaganda one moment , then weaponized against them in the next.The author is an academic, it felt like taking a semester of political history. Spys & intrigue , some escape in the nick of time , some meet brutal ends.

So I go to a “new to me “Library to get a copy of the
#nyrbbookclub book and I see this 692! page
#chunkster in the new books section! Like I need another ginormous book to read! Orwell,McCarthy,Greene, Hemingway,sheesh , couldn‘t help myself.
