Jack | Marilynne Robinson

Yes, after gushing over Marilynne Robinson‘s writing in Gilead, Home, and Lila, I‘m having to bail on Jack. 74 pages in and he and Della are still in the cemetery….I‘m weary and having difficulty believing this scene and their exchange. #MarilynneRobinson #Gilead #Gileadseries

bnp Same for me. I lived Home & Lila, but list interest in the cemetery 2y
Lesliereads @bnp a bummer, but I‘m kind of glad I‘m not the only one. At least we enjoyed Home and Lila! 🦋 2y

Lila: A Novel | Marilynne Robinson

I actually finished this some weeks ago. I‘ve read 3 of the Gilead books - all loans from the library- and as you can see, I found a copy of Jack on my last visit. Honestly, I think I need to purchase the box set because I really kind of love Marilynne Robinson‘s writing, and each book comes with its own astonishing meditative gifts. #marilynnerobinson #gileadseries

BkClubCare I could suggest you skip to the last quarter, but this “practice” is new for me - I used to be aghast when friends tell me to try and read the end first! But now in my stage of reading experiences, I am finding it a useful tool when I get stuck. I hope to someday reread Gilead. Nice to connect with you 😊 2y
BkClubCare Whoops - this comment was meant for your Jack post. Nevermind me. 2y
Lesliereads @BkClubCare Thanks for the suggestion, anyway! 😊 2y
