I‘m starting this book for #Rwanda #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

New IRL bookclub is a fabulous group of smart & funny people. I am really looking forward to future book dissections, I mean discussions.

I “enjoyed” Conrad‘s novella for what it is/was in its time. The literary criticism from various writers included added food for thought. I argued with them via pencil. 😆

Ooofta - this little piece is slow going for all that‘s packed into it. I can only read a few pages at a time to absorb it.

I caught a cold 😒, but I‘m thankful it was after the festivities. It‘s nap/reading time and this classic has been on my TBR forever. The impetus is a new bookclub starting up in January.

I love Kingsolver. She‘s a master with words. The story is so incredibly hard to read as so many of her books are, but it‘s only because of the rawness of her writing.

It disturbs me that we as a human race can be so cruel towards each other.

At a later stage I will re-read this book, in a more enlightened frame of mind. Because this time around I was not ready for harsh topics so blatantly stated.

I can see why this is seen as a Modernist masterpiece

My last three books were duds and I‘m in dire need of a 5-star book…hoping this is a good choice!

Exciting find - $2.00 for this #firstedition at the #usedbookstore 😄

I enjoyed Kingsolver‘s Animal Dreams, Prodigal Summer, and Demon Copperhead so I‘m looking forward to adding this one to the list.
