Bailedbailed

Holy trigger warning bat man! This book starts out with a graphic rape and murder of a minor from her point of view and quite frankly after that it doesn‘t really matter what it does. I could see it being a provoking read but that is just not where my headspace is right now. #dnf #bail #nope #triggers

JSW I have so much respect for you for walking away. ✊🏻 7y
Jabberwocky @JSW I really appreciate it. I find it hard to bail but it was just too much. 7y

Mehso-so

I didn't finish The Stranger recently, but just got this copy yesterday because it's pretty and I can't pass up a sale.

It's one of those books I loved to hate. It was super well written but it was also extremely absurdist and drew the conclusions that there is no point to life and one decision is the same as another since they all lead to death... #depressing. I still suggest you read it at some point because it offers perspective.

Desperation Road | Michael Farris Smith

Well this one sure isn't a light read. 😬. I feel like the subtitle should be: Desperation Road: A Tale of Southern Misery. There's so much drinking that I feel like I've somehow gotten a contact buzz. I can't see how this could end well. #dark and #depressing

LisaJo This book is my next read. Library hold finally came in. I met the author at a book conference last February. His interview maybe want to read the book. He had quite an interesting southern demeanor. After reading your "blurb "I will make sure I follow up with something very light and happy. 8y
KimM Yes do. I'm reading it for my local book store book club where he recently made an appearance. Apparently his Southern literature is very grim. I'm in the South and some of it is too close to home if you know what I mean. His writing is excellent. He really captures the sense of hopelessness and futility that can be a theme of some small towns. I just listened to the S-Town podcast and it reminds me a little of that. @LisaJo (edited) 8y
LisaJo @KimM I finished the book last night. Wow! One of the best books I've read, if not the best, this year. His writing is hauntingly beautiful. Sad and hopeless and hopeful and so many emotions all at the same time. Captures the feeling of a Southern small town so well. 8y
KimM Yes! Totally agree. @LisaJo We Skyped with the author at book club. I see what you mean by his "interesting Southern demeanor". Very Matthew Mcconaughey-esque. 8y
