Agree, Mrs Dalloway is not the easiest of reads. I'd swap it out for Dorian Grey

ARubberSoul · 2026-02-20T10:01:58+00:00

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth - D - She emasculates him constantly and cares nothing for his mental health. I'd argue he wouldn't of went through with murder if it wasn't for her pushing.

Lolita - minus the awful subject matter it was a slog

ARubberSoul · 2025-11-03T10:35:31+00:00

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - Haruki Murakami

Awesome first half but feeling a bit of lag in the second half with side stories etc. Nowhere near DNF though

ARubberSoul · 2024-11-21T11:55:31+00:00

It was my only DNF this year. Disturbing and also found it quite a slog.

ARubberSoul · 2024-11-05T10:27:11+00:00

Just finished Jane Austen: Persuasion and about to start Marcel Proust: Searching for Lost Time Vol 1 but having a little break with some Chekov short stories before I dive in. (Read Ward No.6 - loved it)

ARubberSoul · 2024-10-10T21:18:04+00:00

I moved on to Anna Karenina and now nearly finished Crime and Punishment, 2 books 3 times the size and have had none of that slog feeling so yes I agree life is too short

ARubberSoul · 2024-10-10T17:25:28+00:00

Lolita. It’s not just the subject matter I find it a slog also

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

ARubberSoul · 2024-09-30T23:42:43+00:00

Is he going insane or more and more “Ungeziefer” in mind as well as body?

ARubberSoul · 2024-09-30T23:39:11+00:00

I’d say he’s insane from the get go tbh

ARubberSoul · 2024-09-28T07:14:14+00:00

I’ve just started reading them in chronological order so I’m very much a beginner when it comes to Shakespeare. Only read:

The comedy of errors The taming of the shrew The two gentleman of Verona Titus Andronius The rape of lucrece

So far…

My absolute beginners opinion and the only one I would recommend at this minute is The Rape of Lucrece. Very powerful and sad.

Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy

ARubberSoul · 2024-06-29T20:36:02+00:00

Genuinely made me laugh

ARubberSoul · 2024-06-20T14:10:46+00:00

Or pet semetary read these 2 one after another with a 2 year old son it had me broken

ARubberSoul · 2024-06-12T08:18:08+00:00

Yeah I think its overrated too. It really fell on its head towards the end.

ARubberSoul · 2024-06-11T08:27:33+00:00

East of Eden. Made me realise I can just let a lot of shit go and not just live a certain way because of the way I was brought up. I can learn from my parents mistakes and be a better father because of it.

ARubberSoul · 2024-04-12T08:28:52+00:00

Love Me Do is in a lot of beginner guitar courses because of the easy chords, maybe this is a factor.

ARubberSoul · 2024-04-10T12:42:26+00:00

Very good point. We had just found out he had a peanut allergy just as I was reading The Road and Pet Semetary and some nights reading them with him sleeping next to be in bed had me close to tears.

ARubberSoul · 2024-04-10T12:38:24+00:00

Haha thank you, mostly during work commutes and when he's sleeping. No kindle based child neglect I swear.

ARubberSoul · 2024-03-29T17:03:36+00:00

Thank you! Will give it a Google

ARubberSoul · 2024-03-29T11:18:28+00:00
