2001: A Space Odyssey | Arthur C. Clarke

pick

While it is true that the AI is a better character than any of the human character and it is very dry, it does explain everything clearly and gives you a lot to think about. This is what books and Arthur C. Clarke can do really well. Ask big questions and really make you think.

A Sea Of Troubles: (Brunetti 10) | Donna Leon

pick

While not as strong for me as others in the series so far, there are so many personal thoughts and feelings from the characters in this book. Shifting perceptions culminate in a disastrous conclusion. Close-knit village, murdered fishermen, and a Brunetti who tries to get to the bottom of the silence and secrets. Quick read for me. #192025 #2001

The Falls | Ian Rankin

Inspector Rebus investigates the disappearance of a young woman who was involved in a mysterious online game. I liked the complexity of the mystery and the multiple facets of the investigation that involved several of Rebus's colleagues.

Sresendez12 @ShelleyBooksie it‘s one of the few instances where the movie pretty closely followed the book! Highly recommend reading it! 1y

The Purple Violet of Oshaantu | Neshani Andreas

pick

Ali‘s friend Kaunda doesn‘t cry when her husband dies. He had not been a good man and abused her so why should she be sad? Because her in-laws demand it, because that‘s the way things are supposed to go in rural #Namibia. Based on this main storyline, this novel explores the status of women in traditional Namibian society. A very good read. I am learning so much about Africa!

Suet624 I want to be where you are. In a car. With you. Looking at that scenery. 💝 2y

BarbaraBB @Billypar I felt that way too. I live in the city but we‘re having Easter break and drove towards the countryside yesterday. So much sky! 2y

BarbaraBB @Suet624 That would be fantastic! One day I‘ll come to Vermont and we will drive and talk and watch the scenery and listen to great music 🤍🤍 (edited) 2y

Suet624 That would be amazing. 2y

Prodigal Summer | Barbara Kingsolver

Set in Appalachian mountains this book perfectly combines intimate stories of people into the bigger story about nature and how fragile/sensitive eco-system is. Very nice story that makes you think about your own attitude towards nature …

Simona @4thhouseontheleft Thank you 😊 Yes, me too! I liked all of the characters and I wished to know more about them … how life was turned for them. 2y

Simona @BookBabe It was, and you can feel through pages how connected with the nature Kingsolver is. 2y

Simona @Librarybelle @batsy That is bike lane near my house, but since it‘s too cold and windy for cyclers, that is now my lane for walks. 2y

Oh, how I loved this book!! I loved everything about it, especially all of the wonderfully fabulous literary references! I don't usually end up reading the sequels to books, but I have a feeling I'll read what happens next in the life of Thursday Next. 📚
