I love when my mom comes to visit!
I'm obsessed with these editions!
I thought I would hate The Lord of the Rings but I am pleasantly surprised!
pickI finally have answers to the questions I taught my mother not to ask but now she won't ask them...I don't read a lot of poetry but a friend lent me this and I'm glad I read it.
"And even if I were somehow able to neutralize their pasts, what kind of future could I offer them? I quiet fears, harness dreams, restrain desires; I make them adjust themselves. But to what? I can no longer see anything around me that makes sense."
When books make me angry...to be fair it was already falling apart!
What if Roald Dahl wrote the Lord of the Rings?
pickMy back hurts from lugging this around for more than a year but it was worth it. I'm glad I read it.
pickI wanted to read this because I'm a sucker for things compared to David Foster Wallace. And this was similar to DFW's style, in that breakneck breathless storytelling style, without any of the confusion or even layers that Wallace's work has. This book even managed to win me over even though hippies in the 60s are probably my least favorite thing to read about. There's a lot he has to say on many different topics and I'm glad I read this.
Stop ignoring me for Proust!
pickThis was a deep look at racism from Australia. I'm almost certain now that Australian is its own language. Bonus points for matching my cat.
pickThis was a strange book to read after losing weight myself. I see what she's talking about from both sides and it rings true. The first half is stronger than the second, is that because the feelings of being overweight are more recognizable than of having lost a lot of weight?
