The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois | Honore Fanonne Jeffers
post image

Ploughing my way through a pile of work (that I am grateful to have - let‘s be clear!) so I can get started reading this one without feeling distracted by the voice that says “ You know you have a deadline to meet, right?” #guiltfreereading #chunkers #bigfatbooks #honoréefanonnejeffers

SamAnne I‘m looking forward to this one. 3y
EvieBee I didn‘t realize what a chunky book this was! How many pages? 3y
Lesliereads @EvieBee 797 pages! 😁 It‘s been a minute since I‘ve read one this size. 3y

Poems 1962-2012 | Louise Gluck
post image

I reserved this copy from the library not realizing it was going to be a chunker, and that other people like me were wanting to better acquaint themselves with this awardee of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2020. Nevertheless, before returning this to the library today, I copied out six poems that I would enjoy re-reading, anytime. #LouiseGlück #chunkster #bigfatbooks #nobelprizeinliterature #poetry #chunkers #ilovelibraries #LouiseGluck

I know I'm not supposed to be thinking about buying more books - I've been hauling all year - but this looks like one I'm going to have to get at some point....#chunkers #history #peopleshistory #bigfatbooks

batsy That looks pretty great! 7y
Lesliereads @batsy indeed it does! I'd never seen it before and this one is the 2017 edition but apparently it was first published in 2008? 7y

606 pages of Derek Walcott's (1930 - 2017) poetry to absorb, drink in, savor, appreciate. #poetryeveryday #derekwalcott #poetry #Litsypoetry365 #booksandwine #chunkers #bigfatbooks #stlucianpoetandplaywright

batsy Amazing. It'll be wonderful to have a copy of that. A lifetime's work ❤️ 8y
Lesliereads @batsy Yes, so much of his life's work represented in this volume with the exception of Omeros. 8y
BellaBookNook I just discovered him after he passed and am eager to get my hands on one of his collections. 7y
Lesliereads @BellaBookNook Oh! I think you can start anywhere with Walcott's work. This collection was just sitting at Powell's bookstore waiting for me and a ten dollar bill😊. 7y
