@meh_just_a_guy yes, last graph: 'I found my own copy of George Eliot’s Middlemarch by similar means. Inside, someone had written “READ ME!”, and it turned out to be the impetus I needed to tackle that great novel. Why keep it on my shelves when I’m finished..?'

I’m reading Missing Out by Adam Phillips and The Infatuations by Javier Marias at the same time and they are so good together. I’m making them kiss like dolls

Marías is one of my favorite novelists, but I only recently encountered this work, a collection of short, dubiously nonfictional biographies in a very specific style...Written Lives immediately earned a spot on my shelf of most treasured objects, and every friend I’ve recommended it to has been equally enchanted.

Jean Valentine’s poems have this quality such that I always want to read them again, and then I still feel that I haven’t fully read them https://t.co/EkqWcrPIRP

@ZeroK56656899 I named some examples in another reply! The best poetry is always like this. Sylvia Plath at her best is controlled outrageousness. Two Serious Ladies by Jane Bowles

@joiedevivre9 @Ofbooksandbikes @anthgarrett I just read and loved WINTER IN THE BLOOD, James Welch is now known as a novelist but started as a poet — it’s a very poetic novel
