Some of Roth's novels have been on my TBR for quite some time and I have yet to take the plunge. I've heard that his works can be separated with a butter knife, in terms of style and literary impact but is that such an uncommon thing to see from 20th century writers who had long tenures? I always enjoy seeing how an author's writing changes as they do, and as time and history progresses.

In love with this one so far, despite some of the criticism it gets as being a young Thompson work lacking the Gonzo finesse.

New read! After how much I loved High Fidelity, this shouldn't disappoint.

CUSTOMER: I read a book in the sixties. I don‘t remember the author, or the title. But it was green, and it made me laugh. Do you know which one I mean?

"Democracy or reading, democracy of space: our public library tradition, wherever we live in the wide world, was incredibly hard-won for us by the generations before us and ought to be protected, not just for ourselves but in the name of every generation after us."

Reading outdoors is like sitting outdoors and taking in a view, while reading. That's exactly what it is. The only difference being that you get absorbed into two worlds, whereas merely sitting outside without a book in hand only allows you to be a part of one.

pickWhat I expected to be a pan based on reviews that I read, turned out to be an absolute delight. As with Bridges, I feel like some readers didn't understand the tranquility of the story. It's not a bloated romance, it's a timeless story of two people and how they can't imagine not being with one another. I also loved the Robert Kincaid reference!

Summer is the beach, nostalgia of the beach, and a beach read. It's a small escapist painting of a boardwalk pier, with water damage that only helped it to grow more beautiful. ~blankpagesofmine

Trainspotting was a brilliant film from the nineties that is one which helped turn me into such a movie addict. 21 years later, the sequel doesn't disappoint in the slightest.
Now maybe it's time to actually read the novels that they were based on 🤔

Stumbled on this little gem few years ago and it's now always on my yearly must read list. It's a whimsical tale about a town that is plagued by February, who cast a permanent winter upon the area from his place high in the clouds. It also has The Girl Who Smells of Smoke and Honey too...
...so there's that.

One of my favorite places to visit while roaming D.C. Found this nice souvenir of one of Thomas Jefferson's greatest quotes during the most recent trip.

My first introduction into the canon of Terry Pratchett was a good one. The Long Earth was extremely enjoyable. Easy to read, light and quick moving, just my kind of book.

Something about his writing always strikes me like it's a form that no longer exists. It was classical, straight forward, and pulled the reader in with ease. So far, this one is just as great as his others and also very different.

"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen."
~John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men is one of the classics that I really feel lives up to it's reputation. Steinbeck often had great insight into the life of a writer, as reflected in the quote above.

My 2nd exploration into the James Bond novels, outside of Ian Fleming's original series. The plot picks up one year after the events of The Man With The Golden Gun and continues the original storyline. Can't wait to continue binging this one! #reading #jamesbond #ianfleming #colonelsun #books #bibliophile
Recently read this for only the 2nd time and I can't get enough. It's a beautiful book and by the last page, it feels likes its over too soon. On the prowl for another novel that strikes such a harmonic chord with me.
