ROFL If you read these books, you'd know that actually IS pretty funny, as EVERYONE is equally targeted, exploited, you name it, and it's probably in these books.
Autumn, Nathan, I just started Man's Search for Meaning. Not sure where I got the idea to order it a few months ago. Maybe here? Anyway, I could use a little meaning right now. I've read the intro and it seems seriously good. I like the author's low key, unhistrionic approach. Also reading Rat Man of Paris.
I don't read the plot summaries to books or movies because I like them to unfold naturally over the course of the work, without me having any preconceived ideas about them, and maintaining the factor of surprise. I blindly choose them by seeing if they received good reviews, or are among the finalists for awards. Anyway, I'm about a chapter in and it seems to be about a man who likes to shock pedestrians by suddenly exposing the rat he keeps inside his coat.
Oh good griefLOL I don't know, Pupper. Maybe you should have put a trigger warning before you wrote that summary
That’s it. I’m covering my ears! ::wicked grin, yes that was intentional:: I think I’m too young to view these comments Lamb~Christopher Moore **if you can’t take a joke having to do with Christianity/the Bible don’t touch this book. You’ll turn into a pillar of salt. If you can, this book will give you belly laughs**
Man's Search for Meaning~Viktor Frankl Need some soul soothing tonight...or this morning, depending on how you look at it. I don't recommend insomnia, although it gives you PLENTY of time to read.
Aww, Autumn, I know what that’s like. I hope your soul is a little more soothed by now. Sending you some good vibes. Try some pet therapy? Thinking of you.
I like Pilcher’s books, Autumn. I saw her home when we were in Ireland. It was lovely. I’m reading Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. I don’t think I’m going to get much done around here today. Good book.
Ummm I can’t believe I spelled her name wrong! But I can, and I did. ::slapping forehead:: Rosamunde PILCHER
Smithsonian magazine. Good issue this month(for those interested in science) regarding viral outbreaks and flu pandemics.
The Girl In The Spider's Web~David Lagercrantz (curled up under a blanket, puppies, and a great book. Couldn't ask for more, except to not have Meniere's, maybe... )
I wanted something to read appropriate for the season, and as my favorite author suggests this book... Winter's Tale~Mark Helprin Supposedly, it has beautiful, descriptive language...we shall see. Mel, did I ask you about Pilcher's home? I don't think I did. What made it so lovely?
Autumn, It seems that I messed up when I said I had seen Pilcher’s residence when we were in Ireland. I had her mixed up with Maeve Binchy. Pilcher is in the UK, Cornwall, I think and Binchy is Ireland . I like both authors and went a bit do ally there and got them mixed up. We did see Binchy’s house and it was magical. When I get a chance to go through my photos I’ll try to explain. Have you read Maeve?
It’s still always fascinating, in my book,::grin::to see an author’s residence, regardless of the author, don’t you think? I read Circle of Friends many years ago, but that’s the only one. It was so long ago, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to revisit her work...got a favorite?
