The New York Trilogy | Paul Auster
post image
Pickpick

I‘ve wanted to read this for a long time so it was a great one for my #10BeforeTheEnd list this year. I really enjoyed it - three somewhat connected novellas set in NYC, revolving around investigative detectives and bizarre situations. I‘m not sure I could choose a favorite - they worked really well together and I never had any idea what was going to happen on the next page.

BarbaraBB I loves this book too, a long time ago! 16h
Billypar I read this in a college course and loved it so much that I went on to read many more of Auster's novels and essays. He's tough to classify, and there isn't much else that is like NY Trilogy specifically, but he's got a lot of really good ones. 15h

Ruthiella This was too abstract for my taste and it remains the only Auster I have read so far. I definitely want to check out something else by him since as @Billypar points out, he‘s such a versatile writer. 14h
sarahbarnes @Billypar @Ruthiella the only other book of his I‘ve read is 4321, which I really liked. Any other favorites you‘d recommend? 11h
Billypar @Ruthiella His other stuff is less surreal and open-ended than NY Trilogy, with a few exceptions (i.e., Travels in the Scriptorium). 5h
Billypar I actually haven't read 4321, but will at some point. My favorite was Book of Illusions, but I also really liked Leviathan and Mrs. Vertigo. And for non-fiction, The Red Noteboook is excellent as well. (edited) 5h

I enjoyed the majority of these short mystery stories, which usually isn‘t “the case” (HA, get it? 😂). I correctly guessed the outcome of one of the mysteries early on so that one was kinda a bummer. But, I loved most of their other adventures and having more of Albert too was a treat. Can‘t wait to discuss it further at the end of the month @Librarybelle #christiecapers

I am LOVING this book so much! Does anyone know if the Tommy & Tuppence books have been made into TV shows? It‘s a shame if not 😂

Librarybelle They have! I think the more recent adaptation features one of the actresses who originally starred in Call the Midwife. 1d
Aims42 @Librarybelle Omg! YAY!! As I was reading I just kept thinking, “these plots are a million times better than what‘s currently out there” 🤣 1d
Aims42 @Librarybelle A library in my lending network has a DVD of the 2015 TV Mini Series 🤩🥳 I can‘t wait! It looks like there‘s a brand new series (2025), but no US release date for streaming yet 9h
Librarybelle Hooray!!! 7h

This was an interesting look at friendship from grade school through the growing up years, college, after that, relationships and children. I am finding it even more to my liking as I think back on these two pals and how their lives diverged and reconnected. #Nov2025 Book102

ErikasMindfulShelf I loved this one. 2d

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline | George Saunders
post image

I just posted about*not* seeing Florence & the Machines, however I was extremely fortunate to attend a reading of Saunders the week he won the Booker for Lincoln etc. Saunders is the modern age Vonnegut, chronicling our #twilight with the attendant absurdity and humor it deserves. The tagged book, aside from featuring one of the more humorous and topical, titles in years is a good starting place & showcase of his absurdities/wonders.

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 3d
Centique I loved Lincoln in the Bardo and I have a couple of other books of his staring at me! Gotta get there 😜 2d

Just a friendly note from Chloe Okoye or mommy‘s little hellhound princess.
Mommy has been exhausted and not feeling well. She would like to thank @MaleficentBookDragon for another awesome swap. Also, thank you to Elizabeth L for the fun box and books to keep my mom company while she takes time to rest. She did send out some Litsy mail and hope it reaches everyone. She is still behind. Now back to annoying my brother.

AmyG Awwwww ❤️ 3d
Karisa Adorable! 😍 3d
