I have never seen my name in books and was so excited, even though this is with a different spelling! Haha. #ExcitingMomentsInReading "She had too many issues" I think that's the only similarity ?
Centique This looks like it could be great. Look forward to hearing your thoughts when you finish it. 😊 7y
batsy @Centique It's a very introspective novel and I quite like it. A lot of issues about South African society raised through long conversations, a bit like 19th century novels :) 7y
saresmoore That is so cool! I think this stilted introspective style would kill me, though—especially considering the page count! 7y

batsy @saresmoore Surprisingly, I don't find it stilted and think it's very readable! But I have been reading it for over a month 😉 7y
saresmoore @batsy That's a great point. I imagine we can adjust to any writing style if we read it for long enough—even Rushdie(?). It's a bit like learning a new dialect. 7y
batsy @saresmoore Yes, that's true! 7y
Bertha_Mason I always find out about the best books from your posts. 7y
batsy @Bertha_Mason Thank you, you're very kind! This is thanks to @shawnmooney and the planned #duikerbuddyread, or I would not have heard about it. Litsy's great that way :) 7y
Centique @batsy I have a love of 19th century novels, so I'm sold! 7y
