Lanterns episode 3 is packed with nuance and layers of threads to explore. I hope it pays off.

Also for the people complaining - OF COURSE thé colour of his skin matters in a John Stewart story.

I really am shocked. I think Hemingway is often disparaged for a number of reasons in book circles these days.

I also fully expect that letdown because classics don’t always live up to their expectations.

Not for me. Not with this. I devoured this. 💙📚

My god, I want to read it again. BUT

Book 26 or ‘26
For Whom the Bell Tolls - Hemingway

5⭐️

Contender for my favourite book of the year.
📚💙

The trick of writing the Spanish sections as literally translated is brilliant and is fully revealed once we switch back to the protagonist, who is American, and the writing is normal English.

Almost on a whim, I started reading this.

I love when a book speaks from the past ans you recognize dialogue that could be from today.
He is a communist, she said. "They are very serious
'Are you a communist?'
'No I am an anti-fascist.'
'For a long time?'
'Since I have understood fascism.

Very good, very enjoyable and also very Stephen King. There were very few surprises - except that I thought it was a stand alone and it definitely is not - tying in firmly to his shared universe.

I can’t believe how good Lanterns was. Great job DC. Set the bar very high. Really excited by the trailer for the rest of the season.
Laura Linney???!

A titanic figure who casts a mighty shadow across the literary landscape, Conan is a unique creation who has been imitated but never duplicated.

My son and I won our first ever club tennis box league doubles match this morning. We were pretty excited about it! 🎾

I know Virginia Woolfe can engender some strong reactions so I’d love to hear from some people who have read this and want to share their feelings.

Mrs Dalloway. Virginia Woolf.
Well…

I don’t know what to say. This is an impressive work, though is it an enjoyable read is a different question.

Reading update
I’ve been bouncing off MRS Dalloway. The prose is tough to crack.
Or was, until I started reading it aloud to myself. Now, I’m zipping along!

À great fast read. I had no intention of reading this but stumbled onto it on vacation and blew through it. Sedaris writes effortless prose that rips through absurd and insightful stories
