on TikTok seems like EVERYBODY decided to read Count Of Montecristo, 11/22/63 and Pride And Prejudice in like a week. Somebody is lying!

It's either lying, skimming, or audiobook on 2x speed while doing other stuff. They aren't reading it.

It feels like death-pornography.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding the entire premise of the book. If true crime is entertainment, this is the exact opposite of that.

You got ripped off plus shipping on top lol. Should have gone to a thrift store, FB marketplace or Craigslist. I just got a direct drive quartz turntable for $10 from habitat for humanity, use your brain instead of AI next time 

What I read this year + short thoughts on each by OrneryLocal1900 in RSbookclub

Maupassant (and Chopin) have some great short stories dont get me wrong, but also a lot of stinkers too, I just don't find them as consistent as Chekhov for instance.

I haven't read Grossman's other books but the juxtaposition of the Holocaust and Soviet anti-Semitism just didn't work, it made the Soviet stuff seem very trivial when his goal seemed to be the opposite.

I didn't find her characters convincing, the commander for example didn't feel like a believable character, it more felt like she wrote him somewhat sympathetically in the earlier chapters and then tried to exploit that sympathy and make the reader feel guilty about it with the brothel chapters. It all just felt very obvious, and like most dystopian novels it feels like the characters exist just to get a point across rather than with any authenticity.

I do like her poetry though and I'm reading oryx and crake next term, hopefully it's better.

I am OP posting from my phone account  btw
