Mdargusch I agree @Cinfhen - I just can‘t get motivated to pick it up. 5y

Blueberry @Cinfhen @Mdargusch it's a funny book. 5y

Reviewsbylola This is one of those books that was required reading in HS English that I did not actually read. 😬 5y

What I Loved: A Novel | Siri Hustvedt

#SundayCatchUp

Leo tells himself for a long time that he‘s just #paranoid when it comes to his best friend‘s son, Mark. Something is or isn‘t off about Mark, and Leo can‘t figure out if it is all in his head or if something darker is going on.

emilyhaldi 😂😂 @Carleneishere that would have been a fun way to announce! 5y

Reviewsbylola I posted one fairly recently and when I rated it on GR, I saw @Emilyhaldi read it and rated it within the last year or two. Apparently it made a great impression on her. 🤣🤣 @Cinfhen 5y

The Nanny | Evelyn Piper

Call me #Paranoid, but I‘m not sure I‘d trust this nanny with my children. 😆😆

(Isn‘t this 1964 cover the BEST?)

Broken Harbor: A Novel | Tana French

I know I‘m in the minority about this book, but it really gave me the creeps and made me #paranoid about bumps in the night!
#anglophileapril

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi

LeahBergen I have the first two books in this series. I really must get to them one day. 🙄 5y

vivastory I agree, this one was really unsettling 5y

Mdargusch I‘d be interested to see what you think @LeahBergen 5y

Mdargusch @vivastory I‘m glad you thought so too! 5y

EmilyM Almost done with The Likeness....this one is up next, I think. 5y

Reviewsbylola I was reading this one at the hospital when I was induced with Genevieve. 😂 5y

Susanita Yeah this is probably my least favorite because it‘s so sad. 5y

emilyhaldi I know I read this but don't remember a thing about it 😂 5y

erzascarletbookgasm I‘ll get to this. Only read the first three books. 5y

Cinfhen I read my first Tana French recently & wasn‘t very impressed 🙄think I‘m avoiding the rest of her books #OneAndDone #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime 5y

Mdargusch They are definitely slow moving and character driven @Cinfhen 5y

Mdargusch I too found this to be the most unsettling @EmilyM 5y

Mdargusch I don‘t remember much except it scared me @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @Susanita (edited) 5y

The Plot Against America: A Novel | Philip Roth

Touted as #paranoid fiction, this is the fictional account of the presidential win for Charles Lindbergh. Obviously, he never ran for the presidency, but suppose he did. Having once called Hitler “a great man,” what would the world have been like should Lindbergh have been elected in 1940?

A co worker lent me this book unsolicited years and years ago. I wasn‘t at all interested in reading it, but wouldn‘t you know, I LOVED it. #anglophileapril

Cinfhen, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

Kimberlone I‘ve never read Phillip Roth but he is one of those mid century “white, male” authors that I‘ve been meaning to get to for a long time. Somehow I missed out on reading him while doing my English degree in college. 5y

vivastory Excellent choice! 5y

Mdargusch Sounds fascinating! Who was the co worker? (edited) 5y

Leftcoastzen Wonderful choice! An amazing book. 5y

MicheleinPhilly I absolutely LOVED this book. It‘s the last decent Roth IMO. 5y

Reviewsbylola Any of his other books I should read? I have a few on my shelves. @MicheleinPhilly 5y

Reviewsbylola Paul Goodburn at L&L. @Mdargusch 5y

MicheleinPhilly This is my other favorite.

The Human Stain

Reviewsbylola I don‘t think I have that one but I‘ll be stacking it! @MicheleinPhilly 5y

emilyhaldi I think you bought me this!! Still haven't read it 😬 5y

Cinfhen Read in HS and hated it @Reviewsbylola maybe now...almost 35 years later I‘d feel differently 🧐😜 5y

Christinak @cinfhen @Reviewsbylola I read this in HS in the 80s and things like the tele-screens were science fiction you had to imagine the technology- when I reread this last fall it was terrifying because now much of it is science fact. A very different read! 5y

Mdargusch I guess I should read this someday? 5y

emilyhaldi Good one 👍🏻 5y

Cinfhen That would be interesting to see ... 5y
