#NewYearNewBooks #WhyInTitle Haven‘t read it but sold a lot of copies back in my bookseller years .

Kimberlone This is actually a really good book! My high school English teacher who was really into fly fishing had us read this senior year 🤣 2mo
Eggs Well done 👍🏼 2mo
SamAnne David James Duncan is wonderful. This was the first literary book I read placed in “my country.” I grew up in the Oregon Coast range. Then read Sometimes a Great Notion. I‘ve ended up working with David on salmon, steelhead restoration efforts. He is funny, brilliant and emotional. I highly recommend The Brothers K and his essay collection My Story as Told by Water. I‘m just starting his new novel The Sun House. (edited) 2mo
Leftcoastzen @SamAnne wow , that‘s amazing! The only book I have read was the tagged one . It was recommended to me by a person of faith who also is a philosophical thinker who always questions some elements of contemporary Christian issues 2mo
SamAnne @Leftcoastzen I love that essay collection! David grew up Seventh Day Adventist. These days eastern religions seem to inspire him most. I love the way he write about his spirituality 2mo

“…his only two books, Moby Dick and Lonesome Dove, a duo I‘ve taken to calling Lonesome Dick.”

⬆️ had me cracking up! But also sad… I‘ve never read Lonesome Dove, but can you imagine only having 2 books and one of them is Moby Dick? That‘s a tragedy.

I enjoyed this, but was expecting it to be a bit more of a thriller. It‘s a great story though, I‘d read more by this author.

Tamra I‘d be just fine with Lonesome Dove, but Moby Dick - no. 😜 6mo
bthegood @Tamra @Soubhiville same - Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite books! 6mo

Too slow, too vague, and very little resolution. It felt incongruent to the time in which it was set.

DivineDiana That‘s too bad. 😕 8mo
Nebklvr @DivineDiana Others liked it so if it sounds good, give it a whirl. Unless you like a wrapped up ending, then i would suggest giving it a pass. 8mo

I spent a week with the people of an Oregon community and I am sad now that I finished it. The writing style, you either love it or hate it. Each paragraph becomes a list and you hate it because there‘s so much or you appreciate it because it affords you an intimacy with a character, a place, a relationship. There‘s a paragraph where a dying nun lists her memories of her best friend, a crow, and it broke me for a minute. Thanks again to👇🏼

Reggie @Rissreads and @Jas16 for the book! I loved it very much. 11mo
Rissreads Yay! I‘m so happy! X 11mo
Jas16 This is so great! Love seeing both of your copies and love even more that you enjoyed it so much. 11mo
