I finished The Guest List by Lucy Foley last weekend. The book had me at thriller, however, once I started it, I quickly realized that I did not like any of the characters. I understand that this was by design, but it made it really hard for me to roll with the novel. I had to push through the first third to finally reach a point that I actually wanted to know how it all tied together. 🤫📖👒 Have you read The Guest List by Lucy Foley? Thoughts?

"He spoke with such self-confidence that his hearers could not be sure whether what he said was very witty or very stupid." I came across this quote in War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy and it made me giggle. Yes, a quote in War and Peace that made be giggle likea proverbial school girl.  What made it so funny was I could actually hear a few folks I am acquainted with just talking away and me thinking this very thought. But therein lies the difference, I thought it but, Tolstoy wrote it down. He knew just how to capture the moment with as few words as possible. I continue to immerse myself in this classic-one page at a time. Did you find any stellar quotes in your Monday reads?

"To be an enthusiast had become her social vocation and, sometimes when she did not feel like it, she became enthusiastic in order not to disappoint the expectations of those who knew her."-Leo Tolstoy-War and Peace-Anna Pavlovna Scherer Happy Monday! My mammoth read, War and Peace, yielded this quote. I thought it truly captured the inner workings of this character's mindset. I continue to immerse myself in this classic-one page at a time.

Happy Monday! We moved from a gorgeous Sunday into rainy Monday. But that gives me time to return to my other gargantuan read-War and Peace. This classic has turned into a slow read, but it was intended to be a Reading Challenge for 2020. I had great momentum until March, but never fear I have picked it right back up. Are you working on a GARGANTUAN read right now?

The Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is my joint read with my nine-year daughter. She reads a page and then I read a page. During todays read we came across this description of Uncle March's library. We both loves how Alcott captured the feel of exploring the wilderness of the written word. Are you reading any classics on this gorgeous Sunday?

Ducks Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann is my slow read. Read my first 10 pages last night and all I can say is WOW! This is stream of consciousness writing om steroids. So 1010 more pages to go. A discipline of tick-to-itiveness with this little baby. Who is your favorite stream of consciousness writer?
