Made living on a shoestring sound really glamorous.

Just a really talented writer isn’t she? I know it’s not a surprise as such and she’s been around giants of literature for time, but it knocks most people for whom books are their bread and butter out of the park.

That’s a good little luncheon and baseball mixed metaphor for you literary fans^

my takes on the ones I’ve read that nobody asked for

Yeah this fucks, good pickin

Very good… But kinda feels like a token pick

Don’t remember much about it

Extremely hit and miss for me. Sometimes loved it, sometimes found it a battle to get through

You again!

I like this a lot, but is it top 100???

Total banger

Read Manual for Cleaning Women imho it’s a complete all timer.

I’ll put it on the list but I can’t promise you anything. Not gonna get through my to-read list in this lifetime unless I win the lottery and retire.

Added it to my to-read list

I enjoyed this one a lot

“Now I need to tell you about this thing that happened, but before I do that I actually need to go back and tell you about this other thing that happened before that”

Every chapter for the entire fucking book. That’s my memory of it.

Have read The Road and Cloud Atlas, have bought, started but not finished about a dozen more of them

Bleak but enjoyable

Didn’t do much for me, same as the TV series

Actually I skimmed through the back half of Cloud Atlas to get back to the bit about the bisexual composer
