The Wild Palms: [If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem] | William Faulkner

I‘ve been working through this as i‘ve had time. I might have finally gotten to the point of enjoying it. The first 150 pages were not all that fun.

DogMomIrene I loved reading this one with MS students. They really went to town on why that wheelbarrow mattered so much. 2w

This Side of Paradise | F Scott Fitzgerald

And he could not tell why the struggle was worth while, why he had determined to use to the utmost himself and his heritage from the personalities he had passed. . .
He stretched out his arms to the crystalline, radiant sky.
“I know myself,” he cried, “but that is all.”

We had a visitor to our backyard recently. A herd of caribou has been coming in and out of our neighborhood over the past couple weeks. I caught sight of this guy while home sick on Thursday.

Emmeline | Judith Rossner

Catching up on last month‘s #PersephoneClub book. I‘m fascinated by stories of the Lowell Mill girls, but this one is particularly bleak. It took me a long time to finish because my feelings of dread kept growing stronger and stronger, as did my anger at most of the characters. Poor Emmeline never had a chance.
