I really enjoyed ‘Money to Burn’ and I was surprised when it said it was based on a true story in the epilogue. I’ve recently been rewatching Brooklyn 99 and this is definitely a story that Jake would’ve been obsessed with. It was a little confusing to read because it felt like there were so many characters and each character…
I just finished reading ‘The Lover’ and I think I’m realizing that I don’t like French books. They are all so wishy washy and dreamy and so hard to follow. I was so confused the whole time reading this book. It felt like the narrator’s stream of consciousness but everything was fragmented and we would go from talking about her…
I absolutely loved this book. I was captured immediately from the beginning and it was such a fun and enjoyable read. It felt like such a great escape from my life and it was like living in an alternate universe. At first I thought of the character ‘you’ as just that, a character. But the more I read, the more…
At first, I was quite unsure about this book and felt that it moved very slowly. But after I got halfway through, the plot began to move much faster and I was captivated by the story. Initially, I was upset that Colometa would leave her fiance, Pere, for some guy who said he wanted to dance with her. And I…
I found Deep Rivers to be a bit of a slow read. I liked how the Quechua language was incorporated into the book. The translations and explanations of the words really moved the story forward and although I found myself forgetting a lot of them and having to look back for their translations, I enjoyed learning something new. I was…
This book really kept me on my toes. Every time I would go to read it I had no idea what was going to happen next but at the same time I did. This was such a weird read and I can’t possibly imagine how the author came up with this story. Maybe he was on drugs. I think Agostino…
TW This has been my favourite book to read so far! I loved the poetic way it was written and I found it much easier to follow the story line than with the Breton or Proust. I noticed that I read this book much slower but I wanted to savour every word and feeling that was evoked on the page….
When I was reading the Breton, I found that I could more easily catch on to the story than when I was reading the Proust. However, there were still times when I was confused as to what was going on. My initial thoughts after reading was a curiosity as to Breton’s relationship with Nadja. Clearly they had some sort of…
When I started reading the Proust I was so confused. Honestly throughout the whole reading I was really confused but I eventually accepted my fate. It really brought me back to when we were talking about feeling stupid about literature in class. I found that I had to keep rereading to understand what was going on but eventually I gave…
