Welcome to Litsy!

I liked the first part of the book better than the second half. it all tied together nicely in the end, I suppose, but I initially found the bits about Egypt a bit disjointed compared to the first half. overall it was an enjoyable read.

This is a haiku written while being tired so it‘s a tired haiku. I‘m gonna go to sleep now. 😴💤🫩🥱

I had a good day today but I‘m so tired
I‘ve been a zombie all day
I didn‘t sleep well last night because I knew I would be going to lunch with my family today to celebrate our July birthdays
I don‘t sleep well the night before when I know I have plans the next day
I‘m looking forward to sleeping in late on Sunday

Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Although this is billed as a mystery, the reason I loved this book was Thumps Dreadfulwater, his friends, and the town of Chinook. I felt like I was solving a mystery with the group of retired gents I see at the coffeehouse in the morning. Wonderful Canadian author and great example of the right book at the right time.

Started this one recently. So much information on the Bible! And it‘s a chonker too 😁

📖 The Shadow of a Great Rock: A Literary Appreciation of the King James Bible by Harold Bloom

I read this book many years ago, and felt compelled to re-read it. I'm happy to say I loved it just as much as I did back then. A beautiful and enduring story, worthy of reading over and over. 💜

This is concise and clear about the ways ideas are misrepresented in the Christian Bible. The book made clear again and again that the historical evidence that the New Testament was written a century or more after the events it depicts and not by the people they are attributed to; though, he never takes that step.
