Semi-lazy #readingresolutions catch-up post. #East #West

I read a ton of books by Jean Fritz in 5th and 6th grade. I was homeschooled from 5th grade through the end of high school, and my mom used the local public library a lot, to supplement traditional textbooks/curriculum. That‘s how I found Jean Fritz, who was possibly also my first foray into historical fiction.

ScientistSam Yay! I loved Jean Fritz! 6y

When you have a book with both #east and #west in the title, the Litsy post almost writes itself 😄

Some interesting books I‘ve read set in the #east / far #east

#readingresolutions @Jess7

BiblioLitten I have only read The Vegetarian. The others look interesting! Which on would you suggest? 6y
Nute As soon as I saw the cover for The Dog Who Dared to Dream, I thought 'Oh that cover reminds me of the cover for The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly.' I loved that little book and did not know that the author had written another book. I'll be looking for it this weekend. 6y
erzascarletbookgasm @BiblioLitten I loved Sky Burial 💔 and The Makioka Sisters, a masterpiece! I also liked The Dog.. 6y
BiblioLitten All of them then! 😁 6y

The 'east' books on my shelves tend to be cookbooks from South-East Asia and the Middle East. Here's a bunch that I own with east in the title. 🥄📚😋 #cookbooks

A Rumor of War | Philip Caputo
post image

Caputo's account of his Vietnam experience is, along with Michael Herr's Dispatches, one of the most powerful and horrifying accounts of war I have ever read.

In the words of my 12th grade social studies teacher: "If you remember only one thing from this class, remember this: war is hell."

Ruthiella Every book I read about war whether from Ancient Rome to the Gulf War has that message for me. I am most concerned with the price civilians pay in these conflicts. 😢 It makes me wonder why anyone thinks this is a justifiable way to resolve conflict . 6y

The Stranger | Albert Camus
post image

My senior English teacher at West Bend East saw my love of literature and encouraged me to share it through teaching. I had never considered teaching to that point as I‘m a hardcore introvert. She even invited me back to teach a unit on the tagged book because she liked how I wrote about and discussed it. It‘s one of those books that you love or hate. I think about it and her class to this day.

BookaholicNatty I‘ll have to check this book out! 6y
LiterRohde @BookaholicNatty Wow. Two days earlier than promised. You‘ll have to let me know if they survived the trip. Have fun with your exam! 😏 6y
LiterRohde @BookaholicNatty Be warned The Stranger contains absurdist and existential philosophy themes. Hence why people love it or hate it. Or maybe a third option - WTF. (edited) 6y
