I just finished reading Lisa Jewell's The night she disappeared

 

The characteres were amazing, the storyline and the plot was great and one of the characters said to another character that she looks a bit like Lana Del Rey

All I can say is good luck with Moby Dick if you're finding it takes you ages to finish The Sun Also Rises. Moby Dick is the only book I never finished, it's so long and descriptive and ... I won't say any more 

 

That's so funny cause I really like Moby Dick  so far haha I guess it's just a matter of personal taste. I love descriptive prose, and biblical subtext.

I managed to finish TSAR and I liked it too, I thought it really picked up at the end. Maybe I just should've picked a different book to start with Hemingway

Ohh interesting! I love both of those things too but it just never clicked with me  I might have to try again at some point! 

Old Man and the Sea was the first Hemingway book I read and a good starting point! He and Melville are almost polar opposite writers (I'm sure there's a quote from Hemingway about how he prefers to write with less words), so it must be a real trip reading one after the other

"Calendar stories" by J. P. Hebel

 

it's #17 of the series "insel taschenbuch" and my goal is to read all availabe books of that series in order (which is impossible, because there are over 5000 titles now )

I just finished Regeneration by Pat Barker, and waiting for the copy of the sequel that I ordered is driving me crazy. Might actually go into my list of all time favorites, but I'll need to reread before saying that for sure.

I finished reading My Dark Vanessa awhile ago and it got me in a huge reading slump. 

 

I rated it 5* but it was so hard for me to get through and basically extremely triggering. 

 

I read Create Dangerously by Albert Camus right after to "cleanse" myself, it's just a really short essay (a speech he gave), and then I started reading Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto and even though I'm enjoying it I just can't get past half way ... just finding it hard to get past the feelings from MDV

I was never interested in reading comics, But I liked some of the superhero movies.

Well after DeadPool & Wolverine I think I’m obsessed with buying comics.
