Learning to be choosy!
A good friend of my recently bought me a year’s subscription to the Literary Review. For anyone who does not know this magazine, it’s published monthly in English and contains a series of fairly detailed reviews of recently published books. There is a bit more to the magazine than that, but 90%+ is book reviews.
There seem to be no specific genres it focuses on. In my first month’s edition there a Read more of this blog post »

| I enjoyed this strange novel from Tokarczyk. As with her other novels that I have read this is as much about interesting ideas and odd characters as it brilliant word smithing. It has an unexpected ending which is quite satisfying. I suppose one mess ...more | |

| I seem to have been reading this book for a long time. Well it is a big book, possibly the biggest single volume book I’ve ever read with over 1100 pages. It is the second time I read it, and this time, older and more patient, I have enjoyed it much ...more | |

| A thoroughly bizarre book. I suspect much better in the original Polish, but even if my Polish were good enough to read it in that language my knowledge of polish literature and historical culture is too slight to get the references and satire made i ...more | |

Luís
is on page 724 of 852 of Our Mutual Friend: Mr. Fledgeby's evil star showing her the pepper-box on the chimney-piece, she climbed upon a chair, and got it down, and sprinkled all the plasters with a judicious hand. She then went back to Mr. Fledgeby and stuck them all on him, Mr. Fledgeby uttering a sharp howl as each was put in its place.

Karen's review
of
Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter:
"More like 2.5. This was a compelling family story, and I wanted to follow the particulars of it, and so read until the end, but it was overly written. Skimming got me through the last half of the book. "

"Fate has put it in my power to honour a new read with something really original by way of dessert. A mystery. Ha! Possibly it is my own youth that comes back along with it. In a very torn and faded state, to be sure, but – well! – all that’s left of "

| This is a well written novel about … actually I’m not really sure what’s it’s about. Aging, dying, old people’s home and comparing them to concentration camps or something else. Her description of old people aging could be intended as satire, caricat ...more | |

Hi Anja, sorry for the slow response - yes I'll happily have a copy. I am though a bad reader of books in e formats, which I guess this will be. I'll try my best to read it promptly, but no promises.

Looking forward to see what you will be reading.
