Welcome to Litsy!

1. Faster moving mostly. I get a little restless otherwise.
2. The tagged book is a favorite. The plot is absolutely absurd and certainly unexpected.
@TheSpineView thanks for the inspiration. #two4tuesday
Thanks for brightening my Tuesday with the tag, @BookwormAHN even though my day sped up right afterward so I couldn't get to this until now. Bit late to tag anyone to play today but anyone still up for it, feel free!

I can see why some people like this book. Roth is very ably churning through questions relating to (for lack of a better term) the Jews place in the world while weaving himself and his doppelgänger about. If the subject matter had been of more interest I think I could have quite enjoyed this one. As it was I found the long monologues a bit of a chore. It definitely feels dated but unquestionably Roth is a very good writer.

I loved this book! One long stretch of mindfuck after mindfuck, and I‘m still not sure what actually happened (“happened”). The only female character exists to be irresistibly hot, so that was lame but whatever. I don‘t read Roth for sensitive portraits of women‘s inner lives.

1.) I‘m with @Ingerella on Clash of the Titans. I loved Buboe the robot owl!

2.) Onion rings, but they have to be gluten free. I‘m also a fan of sweet potato fries.

3.) Right now? Bach‘s 3rd Brandenburg Concerto is playing on the stereo. More generally, classical/baroque/romantic music.

I can‘t stop with reading Roth.

#QuotsyJuly18 Day 5: When the #Jungle is preferable to a cacophony of words.

#OhNoNotYouAgain is what MC Phillip Roth must think when an imposter calling himself 'Phillip Roth' turns up in Israel proclaiming that Jews should leave in favor of resettling in Poland. His reputation on the line, Roth decides to confront doppel-Roth and ends up unearthing a wild conspiracy that must have inspired the opening sentence: "For legal reasons, I have had to alter a number of facts in this book." ?? #marchintooz @Lizpixie @Cinfhen
