🤣😭 My best score remains in the 1700s. But this is the best I've scored in a bit.

🩵 The Summer Book is an all-time fave. I'm starting a re-read at a Midsummer Festival this weekend.
🩵 In Watermelon Sugar is probably the most obscure book I've read from these lists so far.
🩵 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is the only book that I was supposed to read for school, but didn't. 🤭🤫

Outside Over There | Maurice Sendak

💙 Indoors - We had elaborate Barbie play. Big family trees, backstories, lots of drama, VERY soap-operatic. Outdoors - CAPTURE THE FLAG! So many great memories of playing this in our neighborhood.
💙Book - Someone got me a copy of Outside Over There when my sister was born. It had quite an impact, but also creeped me out! Movie - The Wizard of Oz. I loved when it was on TV once a year - we always made it a big event.

Wow. Just... Wow. This book was dark, unsettling, and dystopian. But it was also fascinating, philosophical, and deeply human. This is among the best speculative fiction I have ever read.

review
lil1inblue

Pickpick

This is my favorite book so far this year. There aren't enough characters to expound on my love, but here's a few highlights:
💛 This has been compared to early Didion and Patti Smith (and I would add Erica Jong), and given the late 1970s setting, this appears deliberate & brilliant.
💛 Kushner plays with pacing to accentuate themes of speed and time. It's fascinating.
💛 There were jaw-droppingly exquisite passages that I had to stop & re-read.

Ruthiella I also loved this and love Kushner in general. I see the Dideon connection. Erica Jong less so, but it has been a million years since I read her. 3w
lil1inblue @Ruthiella I read Fear of Flying last year, and there were just a few places (usually when describing men) where I got a similar vibe in this book. It was admittedly subtle. This was my first Kushner. I intend to read her entire body of work now. What a writer. 3w
