Two-for-one since I missed yesterday. 😬
DAY 11 #BeautifulStranger | Joelle Van Dyne aka P.G.O.A.T.
DAY 12 #Future | Maybe one day I‘ll read more DFW. I‘m still hungover from this nearly 3 years later. 🤯
#MOvember
@Cinfhen
emilyhaldi Lol I don‘t think I will ever have the strength to attempt DFW 4y
merelybookish @emilyhaldi Me neither. But always impressed by those who do! 4y
Tex2Flo I finally gave away my Infinite Jest. Having it on the shelf so long seemed like a “failure to launch” kind of situation. Unneeded negativity. 4y

Cinfhen I remember that buddy read!! Was it nearly 3 years ago?!! Was it with @saresmoore @LauraBeth and @LeahBergen ??? 4y
britt_brooke @emilyhaldi @merelybookish I never would‘ve gotten through it without the buddy read here, but I loved it. It forces you to pay attention to so many details. It changed me as a reader. 4y
britt_brooke @Tex2Flo No need to have it staring you down! I bet that was freeing. 😆 I need to do that with a few, tbh. 4y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen I was trying to remember who all made it through. I know @LeahBergen did! @JenP was the host but she‘s been missing from Litsy for a bit now. Help, Leah! Who else was in that group?! Why is my memory so bad ... 😩 4y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke @Cinfhen It‘s still one of my proudest accomplishments. 😆😆 I can‘t remember exactly who read it with us either! @Simona @Hooked_on_books , I think? 🤔 4y
Cinfhen I miss @JenP 😢😢 4y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen Me, too! 4y
Hooked_on_books @LeahBergen Yes, I was in it. And I made it through! I remember @britt_brooke ended up loving it but I did not. 🙃 4y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books I remember that now, Holly! Credit to you for finishing it even though you weren‘t a fan. It was tedious. 4y
BarbaraBB I remember you all reading this when I just discovered Litsy. I was so impressed. I still am. I think such a buddy read is the only way to get though a book like that! 4y
Simona Yes, you are right @LeahBergen and despite that at the end I wasn‘t enthusiastic, I still often think, especially about complexity of the structure in that book. 4y
Hamlet You might try DFW‘s essay collections; they are marvelous and accessible. His piece “The View from Mrs. Thompson‘s” on the 9/11 tragedy is particularly worthwhile. 4y
britt_brooke @Hamlet That‘s a good idea - thanks! 4y
