Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this re-read for my book club. Robertson Davies was a force in Canlit when I was growing up. I read and loved his books in my late teens/early twenties.
His world is the university & the eccentrics therein. He pokes fun but there's no doubt that it's a place of wisdom & intellect, a force against bourgeois, materialist 20th life. I bought it at 22, harder to swallow at 52. Still a somewhat thought-provoking & entertaining read.

Rereading an old favorite. Wondering if Bobbie Johnson, who appears to have been the only person to ever borrow this book from the Coastal Plain Regional Library, enjoyed it as much as I do.

I'm sure it's been 20 years since I've read this one but it takes place at the University of Toronto, pokes plenty of fun at academia and the most memorable character (for me) is a professor who studies, um, poop. Yep. #funphotofriday @Liberty

1/3 of The Cornish Trilogy down! A tasty salad of ideas, themes, symbolism, satire... It was smart; but the point of it all wasn't clear. I'm thinking that it's value lies in its being part of the whole trilogy.

Just started this backlist title Sunday night, and to say it's resonating w/me would be something of an understatement! I'm all mixed up with this book, my memories, and 2 nights of intense dreaming... I couldn't let go of this book right now even if I wanted to!
