The Scarlet Letter with Connections | Nathaniel Hawthorne

In high school, I could not STAND The Scarlet Letter. After revisiting it in college, I found a weirdness in Hawthorne and fell in love. A colleague just gave me a box of books and I found this gem - I think the 'connections' section is what makes this edition for me. #TeachersofLitsy #TOC

This Rough Magic | Mary Stewart

What? Now the heroine finds that the potential bad guy has a banned book (which a group of Littens just read together)! And she better know, even if he's not a killer, he's a wacko dude if he's reading this racist, misogynistic book. 😱😱

PurpleyPumpkin No kidding! 😂 9y

KVanRead Lol! Run. Away. The reading coincidences are strong with this one. Love how that happens. 9y

Tropic of Cancer | Henry Miller

pan

2.5 stars Have you ever known a twenty-something young man who arrogantly believes he knows everything about everything? This is 319 pages of that guy, mostly while he's drunk or high. It's just a whiny bigoted blog, albeit with moments of brilliance.

beagle.mama Isn't this the book Jerry owed the library in that Seinfeld episode? The one with the librarian named Mr. Bookman. 9y

PurpleyPumpkin I am still struggling with this one! Ugh, I'll be glad when I'm done. I'm gonna finish it because I don't think l be going back to it. Ever. 😕 9y

DGRachel Kudos to you for sticking it out (I'm so glad I bailed!). 🤓 9y

LauraBeth I can remember being in my early 20s and having someone in their 40s say, "if you ever meet a man and he tells you he likes Henry Miller, run far, far away..." 9y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @beagle.mama Believe it or not, I didn't watch that show. I've only seen a few episodes. But, I did think of it while reading this book, which is also about a whole lot of nothing. 😎 9y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @PurpleyPumpkin @DGRachel I just decided to power through it this weekend. I hated seeing it waiting all the time. But ugh. 9y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraBeth Wise words! 😎 9y

DGRachel @LauraBeth 😂😂😂😂 9y

Kathrin @LauraBeth And now we know why!! 😂😂😂 9y

Kathrin Okay... so what are we going to tackle next???? 9y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kathrin I'm open to suggestions! What do you think? 9y

Kathrin @BarbaraTheBibliophage If we stay with banned books and avoid books that have been banned for obscenity (#toomuchpenis) then how about...

Doctor Zhivago

KVanRead Was planning to finish it last week, but after Tuesday it was pretty much the last thing I wanted to read. It's due back at the library tomorrow but I just can't do it right now. I'm so close to done. Ugh. Maybe tomorrow. 9y

KVanRead When I return TOC I'm picking up my next read which also happens to be a banned book

Persepolis

BarbaraTheBibliophage @kvanread Persepolis is one of the last few books I have on my list for the #ReadHarder challenge! @Kathrin I'd be up for reading about snow and cold in Russia during my winter. It'll make me feel warm! 9y

Kathrin @BarbaraTheBibliophage Persepolis sounds interesting! 9y

KVanRead @BarbaraTheBibliophage I'm reading it for ReadHarder as well! 9y

Tropic of Cancer | Henry Miller

Well, this isn't exactly a #bookandbrew, but my rye & soda with a splash of ginger ale is my go-to drink at the end of a long work day. This is my current read and it's making me cranky! I'm aiming to finish it by the weekend. *fingers crossed* #TOC #TOCreadathon

Tropic of Cancer | Henry Miller

I finally don't hate this book. Not that I love it, but I've settled into his odd cadence of non-story telling writing. Still struggling with his incredible bigoted nature though. Almost caught up too.

JanuarieTimewalker13 @BarbaraTheBibliophage I really liked TOCancer...Henry Miller seemed like a fun guy...there's a great video of him on YouTube:"Asleep and Awake", I watched it about 5 years ago...tried to get into TOCap, but put it down...one day I will try again! 9y
