Blue Ruin: A novel | Hari Kunzru
post image
Pickpick

Jay is an artist; lives his life as one (many?) experience-immersed art project/s. When Covid hits, he is in NYC just barely surviving when he delivers groceries to a wealthy enclave — he comes face 2 face with his lover Alice from 20+ years past who had run off with his best friend. I liked it mostly for amazing sentences but the drug use was extremely off-putting to me. Lots of interesting thoughts on “what IS art?” 🖼️ Low pick #Aug2025 #ToF

Blue Ruin: A novel | Hari Kunzru

The vividness of these radishes provoked me to take this picture, continuing my habit of posing my books with gardens, plants, flowers, produce. This is my last book for #ToF and it is already capturing my attention; page 10. This will be my 3rd by this author. I expect it to be interesting, philosophical, culturally relevant.

BkClubCare P.S. I dislike radishes 🫜 2mo
Tamra Oh, gorgeous! I love radishes. 2mo
HodgepodgeandMiscellany Omg—that picture has me salivating! I call radishes “nature‘s candy” — love them!!! 2mo
BkClubCare @Tamra - yes, my eye really appreciates the bright color. 2mo
BkClubCare @HodgepodgeandMiscellany - sure, sure. I let my husband eat any if I find in my 🥗 salad. 😉 2mo

I found this harrowing and so so sad. Also, I will say it touched my heart and I learned a lot; I am glad that I have read the Epic of Gilgamesh (tho it isn‘t necessary for understanding this story and the characters.)

Had to pull a pic from the archives; this glorious rushing stream is near Gunnison Colorado.

Up next and I am so excited and hopeful that I will love it that I‘m almost scared to begin 😱

#ToF #LibraryBook so I best get started.

HodgepodgeandMiscellany And hello back! I‘ve missed you! Hoping I can figure this app out better than I did when I tried it years ago. But even if I don‘t, I‘ll at least be able to see what you‘re up to. 😃 3mo
BkClubCare @HodgepodgeandMiscellany - ask me anything anytime. If I don‘t know Litsy, I probably know someone who does ☺️ 3mo

Grand so.

“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”

“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”

Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF

BkClubCare “I feel that creeping sense of the looseness of time in an endless song.” 3mo

Wow. WHAT is this?! Somebody here needs to read this and come sit next to me and let‘s talk. I have to think some more. Easy read, extremely-well written, fast-moving, full of heart, good vs evil or balancing act? 😈 🤠 💗 🖼️ 🍅 ⛰️

BarbaraBB I‘m intrigued! 5mo

#NonfictionNovember !

While catching up on the zombie rounds of our #ToF Tournament of Favorites (LaRose takes down Hamnet in the Battle of the Dead Children), a comment mentioning the tagged book incites me to get eBook from Libby. The books behind it are up next.
