“The parents of those students called her many things when they were asked. ‘Kind,‘ or ‘considerate,‘ or ‘eccentric in a way that makes sense for someone who works with children.‘”

My daughter sent me a link to this comic by Sarah Scribbles. Because #itme and she thinks I‘m ridiculous. Does anyone else force themselves to finish books? Link to og comic in the comments.

The Wife: A Novel | Meg Wolitzer

#itme 💕

TimSpalding I've become a little less proselytic as I've aged, but this is me too. I write in everything and let people borrow. At one point I decided to start buying extra copies of cheap favorites just to give out. For fiction that's Nabokov's Pnin and Pale Fire, Davies' Fifth Business. For Classics it's books that—not having become a professor—I have less occasion to give out now: Herodotus, Thucydides, Moses Finley, Arnaldo Momigliano, Daphnis and Chloe. 5y

monalyisha @TimSpalding That‘s a smart idea! (I‘ve only read Nabokov‘s “Lolita” - in a “Beauty & Desire in American Novels” course in college. I loved it. Sounds like I need to read some more!) 5y

TimSpalding @monalyisha Pnin is the most accessible and appealing of his novels, with—finally—a main character who's not a monster. People err when they say Nabokov is trying to show off and trick you—he was happy with whatever people "got." But it feels like a "relaxed" Nabokov. (Someone once did a great commentary on it, though; it's as bottomless and intricate as any of them.) 5y

Also, can anyone tell me why I need reading (& all-the-time) glasses? Anyone? No? 😅🤓
