Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve also decided to start this audiobook between listening to Kristin Lavransdatter. #Greenland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

I reached 67% and have 3 1/2 hours at 1.5 speed to finish. I‘ve been arguing with myself about bailing all morning, and I surrender. I don‘t know if it‘s the narrator, the translation, or the source material but I dislike the characters, the author seems oddly obsessed with menstruation, and non-white male characters are not written well. I wanted to read this before watching Dept Q, but I think I‘ll skip the TV show as well.

In March and April I‘ve read 7 books set in or written by author from places around the world: #Italy #Switzerland #Iraq #France #Iran #Denmark #Mexico #Argentina

I have the #InternationalBooker to thank for most of these books!

I have been meaning to read this book for years!

I loved the subtlety of the story and the humor in this book. There are several phenomenally good sentences in here. The story is a simple one at its heart, but it rings so true. Turns out I‘m definitely a Nors fan.

This was good and frightening. A woman gets caught up in the 18th of November. Every morning she wakes up to the same day. She thinks of ways to escape and get on with her life. It is a quiet book, and somehow it felt believable. I do want to read part II!

This was a real joy to read. He even managed to find a good story about cake! Even though this is nonfiction, it explains the desperate need for fiction, especially literary fiction, to the wellbeing of humanity. Definitely worth reading in 2025 America. Seriously, this is a cheery, encouraging, and engaging explanation of everything we‘re getting wrong and how to fix it.

Absolutely ADORED this description of musical chairs! 🤣😂🤣 I also thought the revised version he suggested would be more fun, and be a great critical thinking and creative problem solving exercise.
