The Mandarins | Simone de Beauvoir

Mehso-so

After a brief hiatus, we are back with this take on intellectual life in a post WWII world. A bit of slog to read, but it gave us lots to think about #1001books #bookpodcast #themandarins #soundcloud #applepodcasts #googleplay

Opening line: "Henri found himself looking at the sky again - a clear, black crystal dome overhead." #themandarins #simonedebeauvoir #fontanamodernnovels #book #bookish #bookgnome #firstline #bookcover

Help, Littens! I've done some culling, purging and reorganizing so I don't trip over #books (#readerhazard) but can't decide what to read next: vote to help me decide!

MargaretPinardAuthor And is anyone else annoyed at how the picture function lops off so much of the photo?? Grumble, grumble... (edited) 8y
Mindyrecycles For the lopping issue, I recommend #nocrop. And you should definitely read The Forgotten Garden asap. 🙂 8y
MargaretPinardAuthor Ah, thank you for the pointer, @Mindyrecycles ! Hehe. #technophobe 8y

Eyelit Book of lost things! Love that one. 8y
Libby1 Remains of the Day gets my vote! What did you choose? 8y
MargaretPinardAuthor I read The Silent Cry while I waited for votes, but winner was Book of Lost Things. (Also polled on IG) Just finished. Interesting. More dark fantasy and fable-format than I expected...but an interesting tale of courage and coming of age. :-/ 8y
