Welcome to Litsy!

#Reading1001 4⭐️ really enjoyed this one although I can see why others might not like it.

As usual Winterson‘s writing is magical and really makes you want to believe everything her characters tell you.

This book is slowly growing on me. #1001books #reading1001 #tbr1001

I spent a good part of my weekend listening to this audiobook and working on a puzzle. The puzzle was fun, the book not so much. I often found myself lost and rewinding to figure out what was going on in all the drunkenness. Sometimes, I kept listening because I just didn‘t care. In the end I read a few summaries and listened to some sections again, but I still don‘t care.

📚 The plan is to continue my current books around a busy school week. I have a few in mind if I finish something.

#Reading1001 I have a conflict here I think what Levi is doing with this book is important but I don‘t think it belongs on a list that has “contributed to the development of the novel” because it is not a novel it is a non fiction historical book and if this is included why isn‘t Anne Frank?

That aside what this book does well is show how Hitler used language and forced behaviour to make one group of people appear like animals.

A tough read.

Supper tonight included soup, salad, and finishing this book. It describes the experiences and memories of four people in an Italian villa just after the retreat of the Germans at the end of WWII. I was saddened yet fascinated by the war time experiences of each character and especially intrigued by the descriptions of dismantling bombs. The writing style took a while for me to adjust to, but I appreciated the vivid detail and literary allusions.

3⭐️

Solid adventure story dated by its casual racism and sexism but apart from that a satisfying adventure story.

I swear some of the scenes in Indiana Jones came straight out of this book. Unlike in Indiana Jones our heroes are wise enough to question the desirability of immortality.

Ignoring her impossible beauty and looking at She as a woman this also contains a touching love story
