Finished reading: Ada, or Ardor by Vladimir Nabokov 📚 Quit reading is more like it. Awful, awful book. It sure has not aged well. Trigger warning: Nothing like lots of child rape to make one have to stop reading.
Finished reading: Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield 📚 Five stars, I loved this book. A little bit magical, with a lot of history of mid-19th century England. There are some disturbing scenes of abuse which are awful and which remind us of what was considered acceptable at the time. The overall story is marvelous.
Finished reading: 4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster 📚
I loved it. It’s a great thought piece about the importance of initial conditions. It’s a love letter to New Yourk City.
Since much of it takes place in the 1960s, it’s also a sad indictment of how little we have progressed away from racism.
