Starting this 1942 novel. Opening 21 pages are terrific.
I started with “The Bear”, since my prof said it was the most important story for our class. I could not finish it in a week, and I have no desire to come back to it later (for now, at least). I don‘t mind a difficult text, but I didn‘t feel this book gave me any reward for its difficulty. I was bored and frustrated most of the time. It just isn‘t my cup of tea: not the themes, not the writing style.
1. 📖 Go Down, Moses
📖 Kingdom of Copper
2. Slytherin/Ravenclaw. Old Pottermore test vs new Pottermore test. I mostly identify as Slytherin!
3. Murdoch Mysteries

I couldn‘t finish this one, I couldn‘t even read it. The short stories in this book together form a novel. I started each story but finished none. It‘s me, I know. I loved Faulkner‘s As I Lay Dying, but now the typical Mississippi accent just irritated me (reading English is difficult enough as it is). So no, not for me. #1001books
I'g going to start my Masterthesis soon, for that I will transcribe this old Moses Theatre play from the 17th century. Super interessting but also not the easiest handwriting 🙊
Stopped in Oxford, MS so of course I had to stop at Square Books. I could have stayed forever and spent all the monies!!!
