Billy Budd, Bartleby, and Other Stories | Herman Melville

I‘ve never been a huge fan of Melville‘s work BUT I‘ve never read any of his short stories which are supposed to be excellent. So, here goes. Let‘s see if these change my opinion…

charl08 Gorgeous edition! 9mo

KCofKaysville @TracyReadsBooks My youngest sister hated Billy Budd which she had to read in HS. I really liked Bartleby and saw a short movie of it. Only made it half thru Moby Dick as a teen. Will try again! 9mo

TracyReadsBooks @KCofKaysville I really liked Bartleby a lot. Haven‘t gotten to Billy Budd yet. I‘m finding the stories surprisingly readable. Enjoying them perhaps even more than I expected! 9mo

The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

60s and sunny in November? I‘ll take it! Starting the tagged book this morning, another one that I can‘t believe I haven‘t read…Going to remedy that right now.

Slaughterhouse-Five | Kurt Vonnegut

This book definitely falls into the “how is it possible I‘ve never read this book…because I haven‘t or, if I have, I don‘t remember doing so” category. That changes today as it‘s going to be my read for my commute downtown.

CatLass007 It‘s quite brilliant. But it‘s the only Vonnegut I‘ve ever read, first in college for a class and again for a book group a couple of years ago. 13mo

TracyReadsBooks @CatLass007 I‘m about halfway through and really enjoying it! It‘s also my first Vonnegut but probably not my last. 13mo

CatLass007 Great ! 13mo
