February was just not a good month for reading. Tagged and Omelas were both re-reads I let myself put on the card so it would look nicer. Besides, if you haven't read Eco's “Ur Fascism“, you should. Personal highlight was Beck&Call, which is a solid gay romance about working class men. It's not cosy - there's blackmail, job loss, cPTSD, and the relationship is rocky for a long time.

📚 Do you consider the stylistic choices VW made, helped raise questions about truth, subjective experiences, authenticity, &reliable narrative?
📚 What did you consider the central theme to be?

pickFirst part of the Second Sex.
To-be-read for sure, but before beginning the second tome, I'll let my brain recover, haha.
Very interesting, I just love how she writes, how she builds her arguments. And the amount of research is just mind blowing.

pickIn short, yes this is absolutely worth the 18 hrs on audio. I greatly enjoyed listening to this while working and coloring. Made me deeply reflective about how books have changed the world and I‘m super zen now.
Got to the end of a fascinating chapter of this book and wanted to talk to my sister about it… Phone call devolved into discussing the origins of the story from the movie The Mask of Zorro(We did find the original novel: The Curse of Capistrano by Johnston McCulley - published in 1919)…. I wish I could say this was abnormal for us.
pickFascinating and insightful.
I don‘t know what‘s weirder the fact that I had to wait for over a month for this audiobook to be available or the fact that I waited for a month to read this book…
