Returning to the #2017manbookerprizelonglist for my #currentread.

erinreads Can't wait to get a copy of this. I love Jon McGregor! 7y

SharonGoforth @erinreads This is the first time I've read him. I've just started the book, and I love his writing already. I will need to look for his other novels. 7y

erinreads @SharonGoforth I highly recommend

So Many Ways to Begin

BarbaraBB Then you should read the fantastic

If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things

Days Without End | Sebastian Barry

pick

Finished this morning. This is actually a toss up between a pick and so-so, but I'm giving it a pick because of Barry's explorations of identity and relationships. Those explorations make it worth reading. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 #2017manbookerprizelonglist

Solar Bones | Mike McCormack

You know it's a good #bookmail day when your Book Depository order arrives and includes a signed copy of one of the books you ordered. Pretty cool! 📚#2017manbookerprizelonglist #signedcopy

Days Without End | Sebastian Barry

Sebastian Barry is one of my favorite authors, but I've been struggling with this one. I'm on page 85, and I'm only now starting to see a glimpse of what I love about his writing. The sentence I've quoted starts a scene that shows the dichotomy of beauty/horror that he usually does so well, but not so much in this book. It's as if he's trying too hard to use vernacular, and it has a jarring effect. But I do see a glimpse, so I'll keep reading.
