The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

This is a really captivating (and sometimes hard to stomach) read that explores the meaning of family and the idea of child sovereignty and consent.

Has anyone else read this one? What do you think?

Well done. The chapters alternating between Maggie‘s present day & her fathers book on the past she couldn‘t remember allows us to feel her confusion and curiosity in her search to uncover the truth.

1. Both, preferably at the same time.
2. Same as answer 1.
3. Drinking palomas in my hot tub (that I keep tepid by day) while reading a new book.

1. I would say my spouse but honestly, my dog has been witness to many more of my quirks and flubs that have gone unseen by human eyes. So, I‘d have to say the dog.

2. Eat an oyster while hungover at a waiter job training. It came back up as fast as it went down. 🤢🤫🥴

3. I want to be Dolly Parton‘s wig piece.

4. Please refer back to answer number 2. It ended as soon as it began.

@Eggs @Emilymdxn 🤷‍♀️

Emilymdxn Haha I‘ve done something very similar to the oyster thing myself! I‘ll tag you in my post 😊 4y

One page in and the comparison of a spinning fan to clicking teeth is already making me squirm.

A heart wrenching and relatable story for anyone who has ever felt isolated and alone. The descriptions of nature are transporting and the parallels drawn between humans and wildlife are truthful and amusing (sometimes uncomfortably so). The whole story takes you on an emotional roller coaster of a journey until, finally, you‘re hit with an ending that cuts you like a knife.

While the internet and social media has done much good in giving us ways to connect with one another, the speed in which we connect has intensified our use of words (and images). It makes us quick to react (oftentimes before fully thinking) and leaves us more inclined to focus on the negative, which we develop further.

Thoughts?

Nute Agreed! At times humankind is its own worst enemy. And ‘Yes!‘...with the allowance of immediate response/reaction times which can often be anonymous many folks no longer contemplate their words and opinions for negative impact or possible harm. There is no ownership, responsibility or accountability for what is flung into the universe. So different usually than if you had to stand before the intended recipient. 4y

“We lit no tapers. The room was dark and warm from the day‘s heat. Shadows draped the bed. No frogs sounded, no birds called.

It was as if we had found the still heart of the universe.

Nothing moved except for us.”

Having just read Madeline Miller‘s ‘The Song of Achilles‘, I look forward to reading ‘Circe‘. Miller‘s modern and progressive approach to retelling classic stories of Greek mythology is really refreshing.
