Such a bizarre tale or maybe fable. Read this in high school decided to do a reread for the #LitsyClassicA-Z challenge Letter M. A man turns into an insect and explores the absurdities of life. I listened to the BBC audio edition read by Benedict Cumberbach.

wanderinglynn I would listen to Benedict read the phone book. ❤️ 6y

Classic Sci-fi used for my #LitsyClassicA-Z challenge for the letter E. This edition on audible had an afterward by the author talking about how the book came to be and his thoughts. It is clear why this book won not only the Hugo but the Nebula awards for debut sci-fi. @Sarah83

Abby-J I‘ve always wanted to read this. I just have a had time getting past all of the homophobic statements Card has made. 6y

Another classic finished for #LitsyClassicA-Z challenge @Sarah83 letter F done. Banning and burning books under any scenario is wrong and no one should control how other should feel.

Knocking out another classic for my #LitsyClassicA-Z challenge @Sarah83 takes car of letter A. I think I remember reading this for summer reading in high school. Still as weird as I remember and power still corrupts.

BookBabe Good stuff! 🙌🏻 6y

Knocking out another classic for my #LitsyClassicA-Z Challenge. This covers the letter G and is a classic I enjoy re-reading every now and then. I liked listening to Jake Gyllenhaal narrate this version on Audible.
