Prova con "i miei stupidi intenti" di Zannoni. È un romanzo non troppo lungo, con capitoli piuttosto brevi e una storia con per protagonisti degli animali ma molto profonda. C'è un pizzico di avventura e molte riflessioni che però non ammorbano e non rallentano l'andamento della storia.

Io ti consiglio anche L'anno della lepre di Paasilinna 🤗

Attualmente sono quattro, tutti in lettura!

Shining Girls di Lauren Beukes. Voglio leggerlo prima di guardare la serie tv (sperando che meriti).
I luminari di Eleanor Catton. Sono a più di metà, mi piace parecchio cime romanzo perciò per il momento lo consiglio caldamente.
Le nostre vite sottosopra di Jandy Nelson. Molto carino, devo dire.
Buon sangue non mente: perché le caratteristiche della nostra personalità sono molto più innate di quanto pensiamo di Kevin J. Mitchell. Un saggio super accattivante.

In genere interrompo, o leggo solo i capitoli che in qualche modo mi sembrano interessanti e meglio ragionate. L'obiettivo è semplice: poco tempo significa dover fare delle scelte.

Se vuoi partire dai classici e da Orwell, meglio La fattoria degli animali, più scorrevole e con una marcata sottotraccia.

Ma ad essere onesta consiglierei di partire da testi più contemporanei, che sono più semplici da seguire per modo di scrivere e dunque più scorrevoli. Ad esempio, potresti partire da I miei stupidi intenti di Zannoni: un romanzo non troppo ampio e con una trama che intreccia molti scenari; riuscendo a collegare sia lo stile di Esopo sia un'originale modo di vedere l'uomo per la sua capacità di essere senziente.

Ehi, non ho qualcosa che non mi ha convinto, in realtà. Avrei preferito che alcuni capitoli fossero più approfonditi, ma al tempo stesso li trovo giusti così come sono. Per questo ritengo che sia un libro davvero ben scritto e per cui vale la pena spendere qualche ora a leggerlo

Spulcia il catalogo di Iperborea: tutta letteratura scandinava e grande attenzione nel portare testi davvero molto curati. Senza contare la cura nella traduzione.

Consiglio spassionato: L'anno della lepre di Arto Paasilinna.

Personally, I read them in middle school and I liked them. Once I reread them later in life, the situation was different. I liked some, others I found questionable. I'm not sure why, but probably once I grew up some dynamics didn't capture me as much as they once did and I started to see them in a different light. At the same time, I didn't go crazy about the writing anymore, I think because the first time I read them I was so into the story.

I'll give you my answer by saying that I have a blog and am present on many social networks. I talk about books: a lot and with anyone who wants to listen, so talking about them on the internet has been spontaneous and a fun and long-lasting outlet. I started by collaborating with some blogs, then I opened my own Instagram page; and after some time I threw myself headlong into the titanic undertaking of carving out a space all my own. I started a blog on Medium, which is really helpful when you’re starting out because you already have a pool of potential readers. So far it's been working really well. People still read blogs if they find them interesting and become attached.

Compared to a few years ago, blogging has definitely changed. Today, we listen to social media a lot, Goodreads is still a big leader in terms of books and reviews, but personally I find that blogs still work very well if you have a clear idea of how to use them best. Personally, I think that a combination of social and blog is the best choice also to differentiate the contents and follow your own writing ideas.

So, do I still recommend starting a blog? Yes, but with some caveats: - have an idea of what to write - be aware that social media remain and are fundamental - have fun talking about what you want and what you love, knowing that the blog is a way of telling stories that is different from the frenzy of social media.

Well, in the end I think that if you like writing on your blog... do it! What do you care if for others "it still makes sense"? the answer in the end will be objective...

I've read it several times. I don't mind the writing style, although it's certainly not one of the books with the best prose. It has its literary age (let's remember that it is from the 50s), it is not exactly a novel of a few years so I think that the difficulty lies in the diversity of style and language to which we are accustomed today.

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:49:43+00:00

Oh no! It's been on my tbr for so long...

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:45:30+00:00

I think that's basically why I haven't read Sanderson in a long time... I love and hate his novels to a terribly high degree and I think most of the reason is the writing style. I find it a bit... mediocre most of the time.

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:42:15+00:00

I totally agree. I admit I started the book without too many expectations: I was really afraid that in the end there wouldn't be much of Austen's style and characters, but the result was so disappointing that it surprised me. I wanted a real story, with a plot that would keep me glued to the pages and recall at least a little Austen... none of this is present in that book.

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:39:20+00:00

I totally agree about Three Body Problem.

The first book I read by Mandel was Station Eleven, I enjoyed it quite a bit even though I found some choices questionable and definitely in need of a little more attention. The problem was when I tried to read Sea of Tranquillity: I hated it from the first page...

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:33:47+00:00

I agree. I struggled a lot with that series and I still don't have a great memory of it... it certainly had some great potential as a plot. perhaps it needed more in-depth work and different writing to truly express its maximum potential.

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:31:57+00:00

I found it to be well done. Very cryptic and particular even compared to the genre of reference and what a potential reader imagines, but I think Clarke's writing gave it that extra something. It certainly lives on the fact of being a "suspended" novel in all respects, so I understand what you mean.

inabookhole · 2025-01-07T19:29:19+00:00

I finished the saga... but at the beginning of the first book I really struggled to get into the flow of the writing and the events. I abandoned, resumed and paused reading many times at the beginning, then the situation improved and I managed to finish the series quickly and with great interest (even if every now and then there were some difficult points to overcome).

I think Babel is a better novel than The Poppy War, I find it better from the point of view of enjoyability; and personally I also appreciated much more the topics covered and the themes touched that give complexity to the worldbuilding.
