The Red And The Green | Iris Murdoch
post image

I‘m not going to finish this. The writing is amazing and the descriptions just wonderful. However I find myself really having to concentrate to read it. Set me wondering if these great authors of fine literature will get read in the future. I heard that at an uni in the US literature students couldn‘t even read a whole book. So used to just reading a chapter to critique from high school. Never a whole book. 🤷🏻‍♂️. 🥲

Sace I have heard the same. In fact I was talking to an English teacher I work with and she was saying the same thing. Reading novels no longer seems to be the norm. Students read an entire Shakespeare play though. It‘s sad really. 6mo

This was a wonderful reread for me (even though I did confuse something that obviously happens in another book with this one 😀). I don't suppose Iris will be everyone's cup of tea, but I was once again impressed by her ability to convey in such detail people's emotional states, thoughts, motivations, blunderings... It's very much about love and grief and loving people that don't love us back but not told in a giddy, romantic way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm doing some rereading these days. Got some walking and reading in at the park (not at the same time 🤪) while my girls played (in cut grass, getting terribly dirty).

My holiday books are almost entirely ebooks and audiobooks, but the cover of my current audiobook and the cover of my most recent physical purchase fit the red and green prompt. Really excited for the new Brené Brown, but I‘m not sure if I‘ll get to it this month.
