so-soThis was a challenging read. There was a plethora of characters falling in and out of the story and rarely was their end known. Also, there were hallucinations or delusions galore. This was a grim story about a grim time. Apparently, it was a story humanity felt the need to repeat.

I forgot to post a picture of my #jolabokaflodswap box when I sent this out last week. It traveled up the east coast and should be arriving today. Enjoy!
bailedThis has been on my shelf for years. I have started it twice. Sixty pages in and I don‘t find it interesting at all.
pickThis has been on my shelf forever… and while it took a few pages (I had to reread the first 5 pages) to get a handle on the writing style, and then it blew me away.

pickPontius Pilate offered the people a choice (to keep his own hands clean): The Messiah or Barabbas. Pilate was sure no one wanted to free Barabbas, but he was wrong. No one talks about how this substitution affected Barabbas. What made him worth this 2nd chance? What if he just can‘t make himself believe? I love this short search for identity. Excellent read. 239/1,001 #1001Books December‘s #TBRTarot: author whose last name begins w/ “L”
