Tanisha_A A bouquet of sharpened pencils sounds perfect! I am definitely interested in some #stationeryshopping @batsy @Cathythoughts 4y
AlaMich Enjoy! It‘s a terrific book! 4y
sisilia @AlaMich It‘s surprisingly easy to read! 4y
AlaMich @sisilia The Robin Buss translation (the Penguin edition) is very readable. I‘ve heard the others are not so much, more archaic language which would just get in the way of the story IMO. 4y
sisilia @AlaMich Phewww I‘m glad I have the Robin Buss translation 🥰 4y
Gissy I need to re-read this one...next year maybe! 4y

I have been carrying a feeling of emptiness the entire week, because there was zero reading in it. Ugh! Today seems to be that day when i say bye bye to that emotion. 🙂

Loving the prose in here. That quote for instance -

“But on as fine a day as this, modern art was dimmed and dwarfed by the view of the garden and the park beyond it,...”

Tanisha_A Looking forward to the discussion! #nyrbbookclub @vivastory @Suet624 4y
batsy Glad you got some reading time in! The writing in this book is *so good* 🤩 4y
Tanisha_A @batsy Yesss. ❤️ I am reading it so slow, because it's got a potential of getting over very soon. #novella 4y
