The Human Stain.

I saw it on someone's list (edit: Stardog Champion) in the 50 book/50 movie challenge thread.

Big fan of that book. I hope you enjoy it.

Finished it and was very impressed. I like Roth's style of writing and will check out some of his other books.

The Plot Against America is astonishing and well worth your attention.

Sounds good! It'll be next on the list!

The miniaturist

Well it was immersive for sure. And kind of beautifully written if you like every thought from the protagonist feeling like an inspirational quote with a photo of forests in winter or endless waves or some such.

But overall felt like it was a pitch to be made into a series.
Second book I’ve read recently that had this vibe and I’m pretty sure it isn’t me just thinking that. It’s what the author is going for. Sadly.

This is a book by a Russian quantum physicist. You can call it a law of attraction type of book, but it really goes into many aspects of life. Just about 800 pages. Very interesting take on reality, and how to control it. There is info about the book on the web, youtube, etc....

Great so far.

I never finished this and i dont think im going to try.

I dont know why i didnt like it but im realizing that this is kind of my problem when it comes to reading. Ill get into a book and try and foce myself to finish it, it stays on the virtual shelf, and then i fall out of habit of reading.

But, with a kindle, i can just move right along!

So, whats next. Hmmm...

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Finished The Plot Against America. Thanks for the rec!

I like how the focus is on the family with the backdrop of the weird presidential events.

reread of breakfast of champions...trying to get back into reading so figured i'd start with a short read...it's hard for me to pick a favorite vonnegut, but this is definitely a contender.

Welcome back. You've been sorely missed.

I've been wanting to read Diamante's The Red Tent for ages now. Starting that today, finally.
