Prompt: National Lampoon's European Vacation

@Leftcoastzen Yes, really! ? I saw this and thought, "I've seen something about Lenny Bruce recently." ? This is a 1976 Panther Books UK edition.
I've wanted to get a book about Bruce for ages as Julian Cope uses one of his routines about the police state in his song "Soldier Blue" on his "Peggy Suicide" album, and flicking through the book I found that set included, so I'm really pleased by this acquisition ?

#JulyJam #JokeDay Yep,he could tell a joke ! And so much more !

Very good. Although it might seem like a man vs. nature book, the more you get into it, you realize it's more of a man vs. man or man vs. self book. All about conformity and how we must break away. Very interesting view on people and how we've progressed.

Reviewing my 2021 reading and found I made a good dent in my #furrowedmiddlebrow TBR stack from #deanstreetpress.
The tagged book was a favorite for sure but they are all fascinating gems in their own ways. So glad these are being regularly reprinted!
And thanks to @Jess_Read_This for enabling me in these purchases and buddyreading many of these with me! Now to check on the titles pubbing in January 2022 because, of course 🤦🏼‍♀️

This year I decided for Christmas I am doing one book for each of my family members.
I got this one for my younger sister as she recently got married to a Norwegian man and loves the folklore tales over there.
Can‘t wait to give everybody theirs. 🎄🎁

This novel is a series of linked observations, like literary pointalism. The characters touch the bondaries of their bubble in society - prep school, college, clubs and wealty ennui but never burst it. The sole character of color is used to give a distanced & morally correct pov. I can‘t wait for the book that shows a black person happily drinking & swimming in the lemonade. If you liked The Nest, you‘ll like this, but there are no surprises.

I chose Doppler as my #FoodAndLit read for #Norway

It was a quick read and I enjoyed it. I liked the Elk, but I didn‘t find the MC very likeable, and everyone else was a little too accepting of his choice to disappear from his family and live in the forest... but at the same time it was fun to read and I would definitely pick up the sequel if it is translated!
