Greetings from Friendsgiving! Since I've been crap at #foodandlit the last few months, the least I could do is bring Chilean wine to our festivities! I'm hoping to read the tagged book and perhaps a book by Isabel Allende, but this will clearly bleed into December.

Catsandbooks Ooo looks great! 🧡❤️ 4mo

Mehso-so

Meh 🫤 It was ok. I was expecting to be blown away, and was mildly disappointed. There were some lines I liked, but I'm clearly not seeing the depths others find here. I'll reread it sometime to see if I can plumb anything more profound, as undoubtedly it's me, not Pablo. 3⭐
I'll read something else by an author from #Chile to do justice to my #ReadingTheAmericas2023 challenge.

Librarybelle I don‘t always discover the deeper meaning in poetry 🤷🏻‍♀️ 13mo
vivastory This is not Neruda's best IMO Have you read Bolaño? If not, I'd recommend him as an alternative choice. If you're looking for a poet I really like Nicanor Parra. 13mo
Bookwomble @Librarybelle Well, me neither, truth be told 😏 13mo
Bookwomble @vivastory I'll give this collection, and perhaps another should I come across one, a chance. I see he was 20 when he wrote it, which is remarkable for that age but, perhaps, explains the overblown sentiment (or perhaps I'm a cynical old man 😄). Alain Fournier's poems written at about the same age appeal to me more. I've not heard of Parra, so another for the watchlist 😊 13mo
Bookwomble @vivastory I have picked up a Bolaño from the library. I'll get to it soon, and hope I like him more than I did Neruda 🤞😊 11mo

#ReadingTheAmericas2023 #Chile 🇨🇱
On the way to Scotland for a few days. Naturally, it's pissing down, but as I've prepared for that eventuality with a massive stack of books & a bottle of whisky, I won't mind staying in, or getting soaked & wrapping up afterwards, as the case may be 🌧️📚🥃
Mrs B is driving while I read. Soundtrack has included The Proclaimers, Aztec Camera & Paolo Nutini for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 solidarity, but Elvis is on now 🎶

BarbaraBB I love Neruda 💕💕💕 13mo
TrishB This sounds fab! 13mo

Bookwomble @BarbaraBB @TrishB @LeahBergen @Librarybelle Thank you all - we had a touch of snow overnight, which looks lovely while not being too much of an inconvenience 😊 Unfortunately the Neruda didn't quite do it for me 🤷🏻‍♂️ 13mo
