#AuthorAMonth I have mixed feelings about our author this month. In the end I‘m bailing on 2 of his books and not finishing any, but I also kind of love his writing, am glad I got this introduction to it, and will definitely return to him sometime when I‘m in a different mindframe. I read the first few chapters of this and immediately knew I would have been obsessed with it as a teenager when I was reading a lot of Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut.⬇️
IndoorDame I still have both of them on my shelf, but haven‘t picked up something like that in decades and don‘t feel the urge to right now. I also listened to half of Haroun and the Sea of Stories at night, but it wasn‘t a good choice for a ‘when I couldn‘t sleep book‘ because for all that it‘s a children‘s story, it‘s still complex and requires a lot of concentration. 1y
JenReadsAlot I ended up bailing on this one too. 1y
DivineDiana I am struggling with this,but determined to finish for various reasons. A few years ago, I did read Haroun and the Sea of Stories. It was on the high school required reading list. I don‘t remember anything, but I don‘t think I will ever forget this one!🙂 1y

BkClubCare Oh! I feel a bit better. I can‘t seem to get motivated to read this book and have owned a copy for YEARS. On my #somedaybutlater pile 1y
IndoorDame @BkClubCare the #somedaybutlater pile is pretty extensive in my house 🤣🤣🤣 1y
BkClubCare @IndoorDame - when people first see my to-be-read shelf they usually exclaim, “you‘ve read all those books?!!!” And I say, “not yet.” 🤣 1y
IndoorDame @BkClubCare ha, same! 😂 1y
dabbe I was afraid I'd bail on this one, too, so I took the easier route and read HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES, which I loved. He's a bit out there for me, too. 1y
IndoorDame @dabbe usually I love that #aam is a bit all over the place and sometimes pushes me outside my comfort zone, but lately I‘ve had such a hard time focusing 1y
dabbe @IndoorDame 💚🩷💚 1y
Larkken I‘m having trouble focusing on his works , too. My brain is too tired for heavy plot arcs or something 1y
BarkingMadRead I just bailed on this. I just can‘t get into it! 1y
IndoorDame @Larkken exactly how I‘m feeling about him right now 1y
IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I think the whole group is having a tough time with Rushdie this month! 1y
