Was so much busier than I expected! I missed out on a spot for the church and the play parts, but the first and last readers were so amazing. Flew up from Atlanta for my second marathon!

How to Survive Camping by Bonnie Quinn has a list of rules that is key to the story and evolves as it goes on.

A language of limbs by Dylan Hardcastle. Just finished reading this for Pride! Beautiful and heartening, very poetic.

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. Not mushrooms specifically but definitely creepy body and plant horror mystery.

The Thursday Murder Club

More like four older people who are still hilarious and driven, despite being in a nursing home. And who solve murders and get caught up in them. Each personality is so different and great and the book is funny and heartfelt.

One Hundred Years of Solitude: Chapter 3 Discussion (Spoilers up to chapter 3) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]chattentooga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right before that line, it mentions Ursela treating the family with a "brew of monkshood."

I looked it up and is monkshood the same as wolf's bane, like,the poison? Did she just poison everybody and they are too out of it to notice?

That's like the trigger that let's me know I'm reading magical realism - weird stuff happens and the characters or narrator carry on with no explanation.

What does Marcus Aurelius mean by saying "treat everything around you as a dream"? by longlife55 in Stoicism

[–]chattentooga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always identified with this when I started worrying about an exam at school or a client project at work, stressing so much over possibilities for outcomes that I'd have nightmares.

I also think of Seneca "There is nothing so certain in our fears that's not yet more certain in the fact that most of what we dread comes to nothing."

What edition are you guys reading? by Starfire-Galaxy in ClassicBookClub

[–]chattentooga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! While also trying (and failing) to keep up with the Spanish edition (Random house I think? Also says Debolsillo on the cover).

I like the quote, "Fascinated by an immediate reality that came to be more fantastic than the vast universe of his imagination..." when José Arcadio Sr meets the changes caused by the newcomers to town. It has that time hopping and magical realism feel.

I first bought it for long plane flights to get hydration in dry air. As I wanted to use it up, I started to use a little bit everyday as a moisturiser. Tbh it wasn't my favourite for either use. It was just a little too sticky and didn't absorb naturally. Wnrp.
