To Rise Again at a Decent Hour: A Novel | Joshua Ferris

Catching some extra reading time is a silver lining during my pump breaks. I'm having a struggle getting into this one but trudging along hoping to fall in like at least.

Johanna414 Haha I saw that picture and thought “Is that a breast pump?!” Less than pleasant flashbacks of exclusively pumping for 6 months... 6y

LoverofLit @Johanna414 Props to you for exclusively pumping. I have a special admittance for EPers. It's demanding and hard so give yourself a pat on the back! ❤💪 6y

Johanna414 @LoverofLit it definitely wasn‘t easy- Lane was a few weeks early and never really caught on to latching. I‘m hoping that breastfeeding goes a little more smoothly with this next baby! I think I‘ll be a little more relaxed about the whole thing so that should help 6y

LoverofLit @Johanna414 I wish you and your new little one all the best in your nursing journey! 6y

so-so

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour was just okay for me. I wasn't laughing out loud like other reviewers, perhaps it was the genre that didn't appeal to me. Nonetheless, I found the subject matter interesting, we live in a time where the social media drives our identity and the internet responsible for our thought process (Wikipedia is a credible source, really?). I'm sure this book I'm sure will strike a chord with many readers.

A disappointment this one. I felt bored by the story and the stupid jokes. I really don't understand why it made it to the Booker longlist. I read another book by Ferris, about an ad agency, which I loved (probably because I work at a design agency) so I know he can indeed be enjoyable and funny. Picture: Sailing in Greece

I love Joshua Ferris. He had me in tears of laughter with Then We Came To The End. This one was funny too, but also poignant about a dentist and his search for meaning. With some entertaining details about #teeth #JuneBookBugs day 22

I feel terrible about suggesting this to my book club...

Megabooks It's a weird book for sure. The ending redeemed it a bit for me. All his books are weird. 7y

bailed

This is the only book in recent memory that I #DNF. This book was so bad. I gave up about 120 pages in. Boring and went off on way too many tangents that made zero sense. #readjanuary

Megabooks It came together in the end, but it's definitely...ummm...trying. 7y

amywithbooks @Ebooksandcooks trying... that's a perfect way to describe it! 7y
