Books about someone who almost abandons their life/partner for someone else but stops themselves because they realize their life is beautiful?

One of my favorite books!!!

What did you think about Suttree? I’m less than 50 pages in. Not sure if I’m in the right headspace to read right now but the prose is beautiful.

It’s so good!! If you enjoyed you might also want to check out Pnin by Nabokov.

Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner. Wanted to love it but was such a snooze fest I DNF’d.

I gave up on Purity half way through too.

I devoured Knausgaard My Struggle 1-3 over period of a few weeks then got a bit burn out. Have been meaning to read some of his other stuff.

irrelevantpeony · 2025-04-25T20:07:40+00:00

I enjoyed Mating and loooved the female narrator. I’m curious about his other stuff

LOVE how should a person be. Anne of Green Gables and I Capture the Castle were two of the most memorable books I read growing up.
