rwmg 1967! I had no idea. He's firmly linked in my mind to WW1 and the 1920s 7d

Cuilin @rwmg Yes same, his WW1 experience is so interesting being one of the ones that got diagnosed with Shell Shock and sent to Scotland. He was then sent back to the front was injured but survived!! I think in his later years his poetry from that time embarrassed him. Personally, I think it‘s historically important. 6d

CarolynM I find him fascinating. He was always an odd chap. I think in later life he tried to distance himself from a lot about his younger self, whether it was embarrassment or denial. Have you seen the film Benediction? I don‘t think it gets him completely right, but it felt closer in spirit than some of the things I‘ve read. 5d

Cuilin @CarolynM Yes, I did see it. I need to see it again. I think there was a lot of repression and yes embarrassment. There‘s something about those World War I poets that I find fascinating. 5d

No Two Persons: A Novel | Erica Bauermeister

pick

“No two people will ever read the same book.“
It's about how different people are affected by a single book and has a collection of short stories beginning from the origin of the said book. I really liked the variety of the characters and thus the stories. It ties up nicely in the end. And to be honest, it just feels so damn real! How the right book at the right time changes everything.
4/5🌟

The Plot | Jean Hanff Korelitz

so-so

Finally finished this one up today and meh. Maybe my mood lately just hasn‘t been right for this book, but as interesting as it sounded, it was less so. I‘m not sure I was a fan of the writing style and the author put snippets of the book with the “stolen” plot in question in between chapters. Not a favorite of mine, and the twist towards the end couldn‘t push it to a pick for me

BarbaraBB I just finished it too and was as underwhelmed as you are 3w

TheDaysGoBy @BarbaraBB Oh interesting! Glad it‘s not just me, lol. I‘ve had a lot going on lately that just thought I couldn‘t get into it 3w
