Welcome to Litsy!

Occasional Weekly Report:

I just got back from a chill family visit, reading almost a book a day. So, I've finished The Romantics (quiet, bittersweet), The Restless (interesting structure), After the Death of Don Juan (longish postscript of a well known story), The Tree of Man (stoic view of Australian frontier), and Laidlaw (early Scottish noir).

Still reading Clarissa and almost done with the tagged book.

I loved reading this book since it shows the battling of ideals between the Medieval and the Renaissance periods, personified through different characters in the play.

La Celestina, though a Spanish book, is a very dark, witty version of Romeo and Juliet with twisted matchmaking. A red velvet cupcake and a hot chocolate make all the drama more fun.
