Welcome to Litsy!

In this very experimental book Kate muses about life and art. She seems to have travelled the world, even lived in museums. But I can‘t be sure, her thoughts are so chaotic it was hard to follow. Some wonderful insights though, like this one: “One of the things people generally admired about Van Gogh, even though they were not always aware of it, was the way he could make even a chair seem to have anxiety in it. Or a pair of boots”. #1001books

#WeeklyForecast 46/21 (more of a #restoftheyearforecast actually!)

Okay, here‘s the plan. On the left are the books I need to read to finish #Booked2021, #ReadingAsia2021, #pop21, #52booksin21 and keep up with the #NYRBbookclub.
On the right are the books I want to read (longlist #ToB22), birthday presents etc.

It seems doable I think. Now I just have to start them. Oh and the tagged book is the one I am currently reading 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

A woman believes she is the last person on Earth, and we follow her wandering thoughts as she reflects on her history, Greek mythology, art, and her isolated existence. Sounds fun, I know, but even though I read it over a decade ago, I still think about it a lot. The thoughts feel real- I've never felt so close to a character before. And it might have my favorite closing lines of any novel. #whereismymind #90sinjuly @Robothugs @Cinfhen

You will say that I am old and mad, was what Michaelangelo wrote, but I answer that there is no better way of being sane and free from anxiety than by being mad.

I chose this book as the headline of #day25 of the #augustphotochallenge, but it works well for today's theme of #underhyped books. I might be wrong about its hype (or lack thereof), but I hadn't heard of this book until a prof included it on a 20th & 21st century literature class. And I don't know a lot of people who've even heard of it. David Foster Wallace included it as 1 of 5 "direly underappreciated U.S. novels >1960." So, if DFW says so...

I was actually really surprised by the number of books with #whitespines I have in my collection. I couldn't even fit them all in the photo. I do realize some are more "off-white" or "cream," though. #augustphotochallenge #augustofpages
