Even now that I've finished this and enjoyed it, I'm not entirely sure how to read it. It's cleverly written and goes into some depth about navigating relationships during times of extremism. There's also a fatalism to this alternate history, a sense that with culture becoming increasingly polarized into extreme viewpoints, certain outcomes are inevitable. Extreme positions of any kind give opportunists and narcissists a platform to thrive.

I've got a busy weekend of music (both professional and talented student musicians) and stagehanding (if that's a word), but I'm hoping to sneak in some reading each day. I'm working on some Percival Everett for #authoramonth, Solito for book club, and the tagged just for fun, although I'm leaving open the possibility of just mood reading. #jumpstartsummer @TheSpineView

I‘ve read so much American literature because that‘s what I taught. So many titles here that I should have read!!

dabbe And I'm an American-Brit lit kind of gal! World lit? 😳 #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 2d

There is no in between in this survey, I had either never heard of the book or I had read the book and a lot of the ones I did read I didn‘t like. My collection of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die is very different. It was nice to see E M Forster, Evelyn Waugh, James Joyce, and Virginia Wolfe. Special shout out to The Charwoman‘s Daughter for making the list.

dabbe It seems this 2018 version went WAY out of its way to include a lot more world literature, which is my weak point. 🤣 #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 2d

This is too funny. I thought that the 1700s would be my worst showing, and my scores would improve by the 1900s. But the 1700s were my best score, and they've gotten progressively worse. If I'm 100% honest, I don't know about some of these titles. 🫠 My only thought besides shame after this quiz is that I would like to read more Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf. 😉😏😂

ChaoticMissAdventures I want to read more Edith too! It's so interesting that the books of the 1900s have been a struggle for most of us. I wonder why that is. I really expect to see more Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie. 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures Oh, we are FAR from finished with the 1900s ... many more still to come. And my best score was in the 1700s, too! 🤣 #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 2d

dabbe Thanks for sharing your reviews, too! I can't believe it, but I have yet to read a novel by Lawrence, only some short stories. #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 2d

Ulysses | James Joyce
post image

10/100, but it's more like 75/100 adjusted for Ulysses.

Notable titles of those I read:
1) Howards End (loved it)
2) The Trial (loved it)
3) Ulysses (loved being done with it)

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Leniverse That's how I feel about Ulysses too 😂 2d
dabbe You get a standing ovation for ULYSSES! 🤩 #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 2d
