Bethany Meloche rated a book it was amazing Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
What a perfect little book. Steinbeck’s prose is lovely but so straightforward and readable, and the complicated friendship between George and Lennie is beautifully written. I have aphantasia and normally can’t picture what I’m reading at all, yet ev ...more

Completely unhinged, and easily the most disturbing book I’ve ever read. (Massive TW for sexual assault and violence.) Still, I really enjoyed Earthlings. The prose was clear and easy to read, and I particularly loved the earlier chapters, narrated b ...more

Lolita had been on my to-read list for well over a decade, ever since an editor I greatly admire told me that, despite its repulsive subject matter, it contained some of the most beautiful prose she had ever read. Having finally read it, I can see ex ...more

This was a moving memoir that gave me a much deeper understanding of what Christine experienced during the agonizing days of the Titan submersible tragedy. Having watched the search unfold on the news, it had somehow never occurred to me that family ...more
