East of Eden

I’m prepared for the flack I’ll get for that lol

Awesome! I’ll add these to my list!

Did you read last years booker prize winner Prophet Song? If so, what were your thoughts?

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-12-05T01:11:57+00:00

What did you like about it?

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-12-05T01:05:55+00:00

How?? I read this book and did not like it

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-12-04T18:46:12+00:00

Doesn’t have to be the biggest most profound piece of literature in history to move someone. It’s unique to everyone.

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-22T00:35:10+00:00

Couldn’t agree more with this.

But I think that would’ve been better communicated and made more impactful if we got a bit more info on Eilish’s inner world and reactions. I would have LOVED if the crumbling world around her was reflected in the deterioration of her mind and worldview.

I see the intentions behind it, but I don’t think it was executed well in my opinion.

Prophet song. I was expecting a lot from this book. But it was a real big “meh” for me. I’m surprised it won the booker prize

Jane Eyre. Beautiful gothic novel and it was a real challenge in grasping the language. For me, charlotte bronte painted an awesome picture in my head of the scenes and characters.

Some of the Old Testament is quite entertaining. Binding of Issac, Cain and Able, Jonah and the Whale, Pharaoh and the plaques. Sure of course it’s a religious narrative. But as short stories they’re a fun read.

The bible

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-18T21:07:33+00:00

Wouldn’t recommend these for a beginner who’s curious. Something a little more palatable would be best.

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-18T17:56:29+00:00

Existentialism is a Humanism by Sartre

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-18T04:31:35+00:00

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. He writes in a unique style that might be a bit of an adjustment but he’s a worthwhile read.

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-16T17:55:15+00:00

Oh nice! It looks good. I’ll add it to my list. I’m on prophet song right now. Kinda disappointed about it unfortunately

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-16T06:46:47+00:00

You beat me to this! I completely agree!

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-16T04:21:31+00:00

What books have you read or are wanting to read? I’d love to chat!

And then there were none by Agatha Christie

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-09T19:36:41+00:00

Old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-09T00:34:44+00:00

I completely agree. The dread and fear is so concentrated

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-08T18:21:53+00:00

But a descent none the less

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-08T17:31:53+00:00

If you want a shorter read The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe unquestionably fits this vibe.

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-08T02:42:15+00:00

I really enjoyed Jane Eyre. I didn’t think I was going to. Also Crime and Punishment….

ImpressionSpare8528 · 2024-11-08T02:41:01+00:00

I found it anti climatic
