robertenglandgrant 1,498 Posted July 2, 2022 The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Love her writing, but didn't realize how racist she is. It really hits you within the first 10 pages of the book, then kind of reappears throughout as soon as you let your guard down. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
less 364 Posted July 6, 2022 (Ok I KNOW I should be doing my plant post but it is too much work, maybe another day ) I have been reading Umberto Eco's the Name Of the Rose for a while now. It is (supposed to be) a mystery novel happening in the 14th century in an abbey, but it is actually super laborious, the 600 pages are filled with talks about all the different branches of Christianity, heresy and debates to know if Jesus was against private property or not my 2 brain cells can't bear with it What a library the man had though 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This man was a true genius. His way of thinking and talking has left its mark on me. Damn, I wasn't ready to get this emotional- marry me @less, we can spend our evenings reading his books I enjoyed reading "The Name of the Rose" - I am somewhat surprised that such a complex and complicated work could become an international bestseller. I wonder if that would still be possible today. Probably not But perhaps I am doing an injustice to our society. „Foucault's Pendulum“ was even more complex and difficult to understand, did you read it? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omg you need to make a video to explain to me everything about Umberto Eco so I can finish my reading in good conditions then we can marry and read his books ever after. It is my first Umberto Eco book and I am happy to know now what it is about, as I have met people who told me it was a masterpiece. It also has a lot of good ratings on goodreads, so it seems like people still enjoy it 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COCC 29,554 Posted July 17, 2022 Finished reading this book yesterday in the mountains. All in all interesting- especially the parallels from the past to today. But the book could be a bit more self-critical - and to say that capitalism has helped the minorities the most... well 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
