Hotels of North America | 
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such an interesting way to tell a story, but the material was, at times, just as sleazy as the motels being reviewed. That being said, I was laughing out loud so many times and touched by some of the more poignant stories/“reviews”.
So it‘s still the #MonthofRereads, and I was looking for something different/weird. I remember finding this book strange the first time I read it, and it still is. It‘s sardonic without being funny, at least to me. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
But I‘m compelled to keep reading...
so-soAnd quirky and different it was! This is a book of hotel reviews but it is really the story of this man's life who wrote them. A character called Reginald E Morse. It is an odd collection of which makes you feel like you are meandering through his thoughts on life. It is quite a sad collection. I like the fact that the reviews aren't chronological. It is very well written but still didn't really grab me.
My hotel room has built in bookshelves. I'm only here four days, but I feel obligated to fill them. It feels like such a waste for them to sit empty!
I have two non fiction books going right now, but I think I have to switch to fiction for #litsypartyofone . Don't want to fall asleep before the party gets going! 📚
panEach chapter is a review of a hotel in a narrative format, and they are all beautifully crafted but unevenly interesting. This book has a lack of narrative drive-- there was no question I needed to know and honestly, I thought about putting it down several times. Self-consciously clever. I can appreciate that it is finely crafted without recommending it.
I just started this book and I'm finding humor in the main character/narrator for his so far, one to two star hotel ratings! 😂
pickAn opportunity to escape into a philosophical brooding character through the writing he shares in online reviews... I have not stopped thinking about ideas from this book since I read it this fall.
