#Barkskins

Haven‘t posted in a very long time! Going to be starting this one later today. Does anyone have any opinions on The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt?

SamAnne I‘ve not read. I have heard from more than one friend that it really needed a better editor and could have been 200 pages shorter. 4y
AlexMcWilliams @SamAnne appreciate the reply! I‘ll take a look and hope I can get through it. I‘ve seen plenty of mixed reviews so I‘m interested to see for myself. 4y
SamAnne @AlexMcWilliams I might jump in too! But I have some other chunksters that are ahead of this one. I love long books that grab me, but I will also get a bit irritated by authors who waste my time by their love of their words. #barkskins. Especially when one reads something like Colson Whitehead‘s Nickel Boys which doesn‘t waste a word. 4y
BarbaraBB I liked it. But it‘s not mindblowing I think. 4y

Still enjoying this book, but it‘s become very intense. I will never look at trees in the same way, and will never take them for granted.

arubabookwoman @charl08 I started #Barkskins with Anita‘s LT group read and got stalled (not because I didn‘t like it). Reading #TheOverstory I recognized the similarity of themes, and unlike Barkskins this one really grabbed me. #Proulx and #Powers are both especially favorite authors of mine, and I hope to get back to Barkskins soonish. 7y

#litsyreadingchallenge2017 has begun! For those of you who are bingo players, I plan to do a cover all. #barkskins could have easily fallen into #morethan400pages #basedonahistoricalevent and #takesplaceover150yearsago but I chose to fill the most difficult to find category of #multipleperspectives. On to the next!
