Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m on hols & some op shops have opened back up. 🟰 $19.50. The fan was $3 & is going to be my prac fan for my ballet exam dance this yr. Giselle. 1 of the skirts was a 16 in the kids section so was only $4 the other Ken Done like 1 was $2 as it was 50% off as were all green 🏷 items. The 👒 surprisingly fits my big head & will be a quick drying 1 for the pool plus it‘s a fun print. The exercise videos are ones I used to do as a teen on VHS.

Tried to find an author named Patrick on my shelves for this #stpatricksday challenge.

This novel (but based on real-life events), published in 1960, follows the epic journey of Voss as he crosses the Australian continent in 1845.

I think the cover is quite amusing, but makes the book look very ‘of it‘s time‘. I haven‘t read it but one can perhaps imagine..... 😬😮🙁

A naturalist who bulldozes the pretences of high society while trying to lose his own may not really sound exciting for all. It takes something (not just patience!) to get the pulse of Voss. The movement is almost like Inarittu's movies (say like 'Dog's Love') only with an unmatched intensity. Read for the exciting exploration of human psyche starting from the question 'Who am I?' (or in David Lynch's language, "What year is it?").

I quit. I have read more than half of this novel on the journey of Voss through Australia, but I have to admit I am really not interested in the outcome. I did like the conversations with and letters to Laura, but even those couldn't convince me of the need to finish this one.
