White Teeth | Zadie Smith

#augustauthors #zadiesmith

Summer of 2001 I drove from California to New York and naturally I stopped at a bookstore in every town I went through. I picked up my first Smith in Colorado at a bookstore on Pearl Street in Boulder. Don‘t laugh, but it‘s still on my tbr pile.

OriginalCyn620 Sounds like an awesome trip! 4y
Prairiegirl_reading I don‘t know what year I got it but it‘s been on my shelf for many many years. 4y
mrp27 @OriginalCyn620 It was an amazing experience getting to the see the country and the end result was my move to NY. I've since moved back to California but I loved my time on the east coast. 4y

mrp27 @Prairiegirl_reading Ha ha, now I don't feel so bad. All the mixed reviews don't make me want to pick it up. It makes a lovely souvenir though. 4y
Prairiegirl_reading @mrp27 I can‘t let go of books anyway but a book with sentimental value like yours- I would never get rid of it! 4y

NW: A Novel | Zadie Smith

This is the only Zadie Smith book I‘ve read. I have some of her others on my TBR. I read this because it was short listed for the Women‘s Prize. I liked it but the style took getting used to! #AugustAuthors

OriginalCyn620 What kind of style was it? I tried to read White Teeth but couldn‘t get into it! 4y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I think it was stream of consciousness. It‘s been awhile since I read it but that‘s what I recall. I never tried White teeth. 4y
OriginalCyn620 Oh, I do not like stream of consciousness! 4y

A few years ago, I tried reading this book, but DNFed it. Just couldn‘t get into it.

Addison_Reads I did the same thing with this book. I just couldn't get into it. 4y
runswithscissors007 I listened to it after hearing an interview with her. Her interview was exceptionally insightful and clever. I was extra disappointed by this book. But I will try another one. 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Well dang it‘s on my shelf!!! 4y
TheKidUpstairs Her books are not for everyone, but she really is one of my favourites (although even I had to DNF The Autograph Man). If you ever want to try again, I think her best is 4y
