Welcome to Litsy!

#whartonbuddyread - how committed are you? 🙂 Here‘s the plan for Wharton‘s notoriously unrevealing autobiography. We‘ll learn what she wants us to learn about her parents and Henry James, etc - I think.

Are you in?

Plan:
Nov 22 chapter I-V Friendship and Travels
Nov 29 chapter VI-VIII Henry James
Dec 6 chapter IX-XI Paris
Dec 13 chapter XII-XIV And After

Ch 2: #tomjoad #hitchhiking #headedhomefromtheslammer #homicide #maybedontbragmyguy #poortruckdriver 🤣 #awkard #stilllovingthebeautifulwriting #driverisntoptomisticaboutjoadsfarm #staytuned #hashtagbrigade

She resonates with my identity, speaking so much about who I am and who I come from…

This collection is a pick, even though I averaged only 3/5 among all the stories. It‘s a great introduction to Poe which concludes in his more famous work. The narration is solid and clear. Definitely a Poe fan after reading this collection.

A vain man who refuses to wear his glasses. His name says it all. Because of his vanity, he ends up marrying his great-great-grandmother. Couldn‘t stop laughing at him.

An ancient Egyptian mummy electrocuted back to life. They spoke to the mummy in Egyptian about all sorts of topics. Explores the idea that not everything was invented by Europeans.

Strong contenders this month but a clear winner with Capote‘s true-crime classic. But is that Brandon Sanderson I see sneaking into the Wild Card spot? #October
