so-soI had read this many, many years ago and reread it just now. I'm not sure I liked it any better second time around. There were interesting sci-fi ideas but I found the plot dragged with its inconsistent pacing.

pickThis basically is just the story of a young single mother, set in the first year after her baby is born. She struggles with combining motherhood and work, she has to redefine her position towards her parents and she meets a man. Nothing much happens but it is so Japanese. It feels like magic.

pickA twisty and fun thriller. I saw the movie when it first came out and only remembered the bare bones of the story. When Bourne is washed up the shore he has forgotten who he is and what his mission was...he returns to Zurich and his quest to find himself begins. #booked2019 #booktomovie #40thbdaychallenge #1980
pickI just finished my 1st book of 2019, this tragicomedy set in New Orleans in the 1960s. Ignatius J. Reilly is quite a character, as are several of the others you meet along the way in this story of Ignatius' search for a job and his place in society. Thanks for a great #NewYearWhoDis recommendation @Maria514626 @monalyisha #LitsyAtoZ #C @BookishMarginalia #ReadingClassicsIn2019 #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #192021 #1980
panI just don‘t like slapstick. And Ignatius is pure slapstick. He made me laugh a few times but I preferred the storylines without him (The Levy‘s, Miss Trixie, Mrs Reilly, New Orleans).
I know I am in the minority and I hope I don‘t offend the ones who love him 😍😉, but I think Ignatius is above all an annoying character.
Still, I am glad I got it out of the way. Thanks for organizing the #Dunces buddy read Emily 💜!

pickI have so enjoyed finishing these Unfinished Tales with my #LOTRChapterADay (extended edition) group. Tolkien was a great, and immensely nuanced storyteller, his son Christopher a devoted son and detailed story archiver, whose life work allowed us to see the depth of creativity and true craft his father put into all his tales. I‘ve truly enjoyed the surface tale, and the deeper tale behind its creation and evolution.
pickOH HEY!! I've missed you guys. Here is review 1 of 3: FIRESTARTER!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 holy shit Batman, I loved this book. I loved the adventure and the chase. I loved the relationship between Charlie and her dad. I loved how creepy all the government characters were. As of this point in the #epicstephenking reread, this is my new favorite. #book9 #1980
