L'invenzione della solitudine

Aaaaaaarrrrgh! My father, who is reading my books, had the gall to pick up a pencil and start writing in one of my books!!! Because there was a typo! I had to loudly remind him that he would not normally write in books that don't belong to him and that my books are in fact not his! Funnily enough, it had not occured to him that might be the case. He says he forgot. #parents #familylife #lapetitevie

tournevis @tricours It's fine if you write in your books. It's fine that he writes in his books. He should not write in mine! 7y

The Invention of Solitude | Paul Auster

My mother is getting completely trounced at chess by my almost 8yo. Granted, she's always been really bad at it and my son as a gift, but damn! My father, in the meantime, is reading Paul Auster and interupting my reading at every page. #FamilyLife #LaPetiteVie

The Invention of Solitude | Paul Auster

so-so

This should have been a Pick. This should have been a Pick.

The first half was so good; beautiful, heart rending prose.

The second half was such a convoluted mishmash that I frequently sighed loudly while reading it. Moving from Anne Frank to Pinocchio to Pascal to the Killing Fields of Cambodia, my mind is reeling in confusion.

What books have you read that have saddened you because they are both fully home and yet totally lost?

Libby1 @Laalaleighh - I felt the same way about Mr. P. And I recently got my hands on a copy of Just One Damned Thing. Oh dear. 7y

Laalaleighh @libby1 I though Mr p was gonna be an all time fave and then it just sort of went out with a whimper. 7y
