The Duel | Giacomo Casanova
Pickpick

My July #bookspin (history repeating from 2020) is still a pick. Duels are still absurd.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6mo

The Duel | Giacomo Casanova

Evidently I‘m re-reading this…and am the most recent poster (2020). 🤣 And again for BookSpin. (I don‘t consider this cheating)

How does Casanova know my unhappiness? Oh the tedium of childcare!

November #BookSpin accomplished with this 70 page novella. The commentary on the absurdity of duels was amusing. No one really wants to go through with it, but to acknowledge that absurdity and not follow through is unbecoming...thank goodness the duel has yet to make a comeback. 🤞🏼😳🤞🏼

TheAromaofBooks My husband & I were just saying this morning that maybe we should have the presidential candidates duel to decide the election results 😂 4y

The Duel | Giacomo Casanova

This afternoon I read two dueling novellas, ha ha. Which came out the victor?

The facts are these:
- Both arise from a damaged reputation or perceived slight of a woman.
- Both, oddly enough, involve discussion of or actual amputation of an arm
- Both bring all the DRAMA! 🤣

Because the German‘s tale feels more parable than not and the Italian‘s tale more rational - I dub the Italian the winner of this literary duel 😄

It's purple line but still has purple in it. A group of guys that was once 5. but now are split into 2 and 3. Such a shame..

Another grey rainy day in Atlanta.
The perfect type of day to get some reading and writing done!
Found the Memoirs of Casanova the other day and had to bring it home. The cover is so bright and dramatic. Love it!💕
