A Little Life

Hanya Yanagihara
Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️

Yanagihara seems (unnecessarily) divisive, based solely off the back of A Little Life. Readers either love her or hate her. I cannot overstate my love for that book & her craft. This review, petty in its pouting over the lack of arc, won’t deter me & shouldn’t deter anyone else. https://twitter.com/rmpanovka/status/1472948558424948745

@thelitedit I am. I read 1 chapter of W&P each morning after I wake up (while my daughter gets ready for school), and then I read something else throughout the day. Yesterday I finished Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles. So moving.

Train Lord: The Astonishing True Story of One Man's Journey to Getting His Life Back on Track

Oliver Mol
Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️

This is overdue, alas, but I read @Oliver_Mol’s Train Lord a few weeks ago & oh boy, what a book. I was drawn to it bcoz for decades I had monthly migraines & I hoped to learn abt someone else’s experiences. But Train Lord is also very funny & deeply moving. Loved it! #AmReading https://t.co/YErZ5I64KT

On Travel

Tony Wheeler
Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️

Read Tony Wheeler’s On Travel today. Interesting & fun, but….. 1. He hates routine, whereas I embrace it, and 2. He asserts flying is a ‘miracle’, when it’s actually a feat of engineering, science, & human ingenuity. #AmWriting https://t.co/a3kT9smJSb

The Days of Abandonment

Elena Ferrante
Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️

Anyone read Frantumaglia? I loved The Days of Abandonment & The Lying Lives of Adults, but I just couldn’t get into the Neapolitan Quartet. Unsure if I will like this one, although I generally enjoy ‘process’ books https://t.co/QVRdLBn7cI
