uncool2pillow Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Five months in... Time to start a new thread. I am really enjoying The Poisonwood Bible so far. About halfway in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 So, I checked out “These Truths” by Jill Lepore. I’ve been reading just fiction stuff so this is intimidatingly thick. Anyone read it yet and can confirm it’s worth it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 "Little Boy" by L. Ferlinghetti. It's his autobiography. Good stuff, I love his writing style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Was excited to read this - and was very saddened to learn that Horwitz died yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About halfway in.Thanks for starting us a fresh thread! I really liked The Poisonwood Bible. Has anyone read The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey? I loved it.

Griddles Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Just finished this: Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Rightby Arlie Russell Hochschild One of the best books I have read in a long time. I would recommend it for anyone who feels like they can't understand where the other political side is coming from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 In the spirit of brutality that is happening now in the age of the dotard, it's time to dive into "Blood Meridian" by McCarthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think I started that ^ book a half dozen times, never getting past page 50 or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Oh damn, its so good! McCarthy at the height of his powers. It's phenomenal. Memorable in part for the hyper-vivid desert landscape description, and for the stomach churning violence. Maybe his best book? This is what I'm slowly meandering through right now: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 While I haven't read all of McCarthy's books, I do think that Blood Meridian could be the best of the bunch. One or two of his earlier books I started but had to drop. The writing was just way too dense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
