My #AAM choice for Kurt Vonnegut was a bit of a miss for me. Strange and quirky, it was a little too out there for me, the wild twists and turns kept taking me out of the story. I‘ve really enjoyed Breakfast of Champions when I read it years ago so this one might just not have been for me. #audio @Soubhiville

Bad Behavior: Stories | Mary Gaitskill

😎Soaking up the rays as we start heading into cooler weather 🍁 with a new book: Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill.
🔞if you‘re not a timid reader and you‘re looking for a new book about the underbelly of Manhattan‘s Lower East Side from the 1980s this might be your book.

I'm not afraid of eye-opening reads. To me literary reading of reality helps us understand the people of our world better. IMHO it also strengthens our values and morals.

AmyG I love books set by n NYC. 3h

ShelleyBooksie Love that fabric!! 3h

Joy in the Morning: A Novel | Betty Smith

#5JoysFriday

1) I am starting to get a bit of my reading mojo back.
2) Visiting my library is full of joy. Pleasantly surprised to see the book I mentioned in #GoodNewsSunday on the new shelf. Also that it supports the ACLU.
3) Pippin showing off his teeth.
4) Lunch dates with friends this week.
5) #BBB

The Old Beauty and Others | Willa Cather

Cather‘s stories are beautiful and eloquent with a sharp dash of the unexpected to jostle the reader‘s complacency.

My husband read this in Uni in a pop culture class where every week they read a book and watched a movie that connected together. I finally got around to reading it thx to #literarycrew What. A. Ride!

Librarybelle Glad you liked it! 2d

mcctrish @julieclair I can‘t wait to talk about it, so much happens and it was a bit eye opening for me about some of the ‘real‘ characters 2d

Ruthiella I read this decades ago but really loved it. 2d

mcctrish @Ruthiella I can‘t believe I waited this long to read a Doctorow book 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d

julieclair I‘ve never read a Doctorow book either! 2d

Graywacke @Suet624 I‘ll be disappointed if Audition and Seascraper aren‘t on the shortlist. Flesh belongs too. But i‘ve liked literally every book. So i‘ll be forgiving @dabbe thanks! 2d

Hanna-B Flesh was a marvellous confronting read, a lot of feelings arose 2d

Graywacke @Hanna-B i was thinking about it (Flesh) constantly for days after i finished … trying to resolve stuff in my head. 2d

Hanna-B I inhaled it. And know it‘s going to stick with me. A stark tale, unflinching and pragmatic with so many losses 2d

The Great Gatsby | F. Scott Fitzgerald

There was music from my neighbor‘s house through the summer nights.
