Sunbather Moonchaser 2,486 Posted July 26 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lasso 13,304 Posted July 26 2 hours ago, The Sun Also Rises said: 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cunt 8 Posted July 29 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Sun Also Rises 5,864 Posted August 22 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 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
