#ISpy My #October List @TheAromaOfBooks

Next year, all 12 boards all year! (plus the bonus boards). Also --- probably my first BINGO of the year with his one (I did October, November, and December for three months).

Weekend getaway in a Spa Hotel with a new book🥰

Not a bad pairing with Claire Dederer's Monsters, rather similar in the end despite approaching the topic in two different ways. Lewis is basically saying that there was a point when people “had a genius for X“, and that was much truer than “X is a genius“, and the worship of people as geniuses produces monsters (among other things).

It was OK, but... having finished it, I feel like it could've been shorter.

It‘s dangerously hot in WI so I took a walk early then we‘ve mostly been inside, napping, reading, playing cards and up next - a movie. I sometimes enjoy a down low day.

Flowers for Algernon is a deeply moving novel, told through the journal entries of Charlie Gordon, who undergoes experimental intelligence-boosting surgery.

It's a poignant dive into human dignity, scientific ethics, and what true wisdom means. This book powerfully explores the value of every individual, making it an unforgettable, thought-provoking, and ultimately heartbreaking read that truly sticks with you.

A little late for the book, but what a cute sticker I found! #DeadPhilosophersSociety

#ISpy for April :)

Honestly, this one is tough. I don‘t think I want to be as smart/clever as this one might require. Did I read every word on every page? No, I did not. Am I glad I attempted? Sure. 😐 If you want to be a Percival Everett completist, I recommend a good trial looksee at the format or trap yourself on a beach with no other books, maybe. 😂 It is absurdist philosophy or true brilliance, if you dare trust this poor simpleton‘s opinion. It is amusing…
