Academic gossiping! I didn‘t know I‘d enjoy that but I did. Three academics fight about who knows best what Freud meant and thought. I learned a lot about Freud‘s early seduction theory, which he abandoned in favor of a theory of infantile sexuality. It‘s fascinating to read about the different interpretations and opinions of the three academics. And the author‘s role in all of this. What a great choice @merelybookish for the #NYRBBookClub

BarbaraBB @AshleyHoss820 It is! It‘s intellectual hysterical, it‘s about conflicting male ego‘s, it made me chuckle more than once! 2y

AshleyHoss820 @BarbaraBB Oh my gosh, totally gonna have to stack it, then! ☺️ 2y

BarbaraBB @merelybookish I really did and am so curious where our discussion will lead to. I don‘t know that much about Freud, only what I read about him in fiction books. So I am looking forward to see what you all will think! 2y

BarbaraBB @AshleyHoss820 I think you have to 😊 2y

merelybookish @BarbaraBB I was thinking about that and how our assumptions about Freud (and psychoanalysis) today might differ from when it was written in the 80s. 2y

BarbaraBB @merelybookish They might indeed. I‘d say his theories are controversial to say the least but again, I don‘t know much about psychotherapy. Interesting! 2y

Librarybelle Sounds interesting! 2y

readordierachel Oh yay! I'm looking forward to this 2y

This historical comedy was so much fun to read! More of a light-hearted alternate history/fantasy than historical fiction, I was not sure what to expect from a book with 3 authors, but I was pleasantly surprised.

It was the perfect pick for this past weekend, and despite the length, really flew by. I like books with narrator asides, so that aspect didn‘t bother me in the slightest.

Caroline: Little House, Revisited | Sarah Elizabeth Miller

pick

I really liked this book, but not necessarily for the writing. As I read this book I kept thinking about the Laura Ingalls Wilder's series and my fondness for those books made me rate this book highly. I always thought of Caroline as the strong, loving mother keeping the family solid. Reading this book made me think of her in other ways as well. I'm so glad I saw this book on MIL's end table at Christmas time.
