This took a tale or two to settle into, but overall I thought it was good. Now I want to go back to the source material!

“He realises that this is not Penelope. This is not his hall.”

This is not his beautiful house! This is not his beautiful wife!

🎶 Letting the days go by, let the water hold him down…

kwmg40 OMG, now you're making me wonder if David Byrne was inspired by Homer! 😂 3y

This review is for “Endless City” by Zachary Mason the 3rd short story in the Christmas Short Story Advent Calendar. This is one night and Odysseus travels through the city telling tales to Agamemnon, Cassandra, Achilles, Helen of Troy, Palamedes and various vacuous soldiers. Probably would have had more meaning if I were more familiar with the Odyssey but enjoyable.

New day, new books 🙂

Lel2403 I loved Purple Hibiscus..a tough read at times but brilliantly written 6y

tina_b.ooks @Lel2403 I'm a fan of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie without ever having actually read anything by here. I wasn't sure which book to get, but decided to go with Purple Hibiscus. 6y

Lel2403 @tina_b.ooks I‘m sure you‘ll love it.. 6y

Well it looks like USPS may have lost two of the boxes of books I shipped from New York to west palm. I'm so upset I want to punch something. And I don't know if I'll be able to remember all the books that were in those boxes. 30 pounds of books. Screw you, 2016 😡😡😡😡😡😫😫😫😫😫

LeahBergen No, no, NO!!!!!! 😱😱😱 7y

BeckaroniAndCheese 😢I'm so sorry 😐 7y

mllemay Oh man, that's terrible 😫😫 7y

Amandajoy I hope they turn up! I can understand losing a letter, but 30 pounds of books? Doesn't seem like you could misplace that easily. 7y

meggofrank 😩 that's awful. I'm sorry. 7y

quirkyreader I feeling like that right now. I was supposed to get two parcels from #PersephoneBooks. So far only one has shown up. And clearly of the side it says 1 of 2. And it only takes about two weeks for something to cross the pond. Now it's going on four. I just hope it arrives soon. 7y

minkyb So sorry. That is just awful. 7y

megt Oh no! Crossing my fingers that they figure it out and find them for you. 7y
