No Exit: A Play in One Act | Jean-Paul Sartre
Pickpick

The ebook edition I got was kind of garbled at times (weird typos), but I found this a surprisingly brisk read. Nice to finally place some of the quotations that go around in context.

Mostly just read it for this StoryGraph challenge, which echoes a Goodreads challenge: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/b39b226a-7d82-4267-a215-77dde52... But I appreciated it more than I'd expected.

I loved this movie—the visuals have stayed with me through the years. The book is very similar but feels even darker. All fairytales are cautionary in some way. This one is no different…we would do well to remember the lesson from this story in our current times.

Nooses whisper as

Eggs Oooo this is chilling 😱🥶 6d
JenlovesJT47 I have an ancestor who was tried as a witch but she got off. 😬 6d
dabbe @Eggs I was in a creepy mood today! 🩶🖤🩶 6d
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 In the Salem Witch Trials? W😱WZA! 😱😱 6d
JenlovesJT47 I don‘t remember if it was Salem but that‘s crazy! Every time I read up/watch anything about the witch trials it seems like a made up story. I just can‘t believe people are that cruel and ignorant. 6d
AnnCrystal @dabbe 🆒🎭👍🏼💝. 6d
AnnCrystal Wow, that's incredible family history! @JenlovesJT47 have you seen Witch Hunt (2021)? It was slow but good and incredibly terrifying. Can't even watch it right now because, well, because of this chaotic world we call reality. 6d
TheSpineView Wow! 💛🐝💛 5d

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I haven‘t seen it but I‘ll add it to my list! Have you read the Practical Magic series? One of the books is set during the witch trials and it is so good. Actually they‘re all great imo! 5d
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🥳🎬💝. I've only seen the 1998 movie (I believe it's from one of the books). I've heard the books are really good and even more magical ☺️👍🏼💝. 5d
dabbe @AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 Is that the movie with Bullock and Kidman in the 90s? I loved it if it is. And I only read the first book in the series. More for the TBR! 🤩 5d
JenlovesJT47 Yes that‘s the one! The movie is good but the books are amazing 😻 5d
AnnCrystal @dabbe @JenlovesJT47 been years since I've seen the movie...but I really liked it. Adding these books to my TBR too. Thanks JenlovesJT47 🥳📚💝. 5d
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal Cool beans! Time to read some more! 🤩 5d
julieclair Oh my goodness, this is so atmospheric! I remember visiting Salem when I was about 9 or 10 years old. They re-enacted a witch trial and hung the witch at the end. It made quite an impact on my young self. Even then, I felt the supreme injustice of it. 4d
dabbe @julieclair TY! I would have loved to have seen that! I have always been fascinated by the witch trials--way back to when I was about the same age! No wonder I love Halloween. But, you're absolutely right--the absolute horrendous injustice of it all. 4d

This was more fun than the third volume, but I feel like I keep missing steps in the reasoning and not quite understanding how things connect. I'm told reading the manga helps things come together, so I might do that.

And that was my #BookSpin book, finally, and now just two more books for a blackout on #BookSpinBingo!
