Michael Goddart and 4606 other people liked idiomatic's review of Babel:
Babel by R.F. Kuang
"let's lead with the good: this is very polished and eminently readable, and it is no small feat to make a book that's at least 30% lectures about etymology into digestible commercial fiction. it ticks along like a well-oiled engine, it is a thick boo" Read more of this review »

Babel by R.F. Kuang
"Right, so… this really wasn’t the book for me. Oh dear, I have a lot of issues, but remember: if you loved this book, that’s valid, but you didn’t, it doesn’t mean you aren’t “intelligent enough”. To be honest, after reading that, I’ve become convinc" Read more of this review »
The Pious Dance by Klaus Mann
"There are passages so cerebral that they feel incomprehensible, but for the most part I had a good time with the novel. Marketed as the best surviving representation of the gay underworld in Berlin during the 20s, Mann goes into enough detail, and is" Read more of this review »

Trust by Hernan Diaz
"Longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize

In his sophomore novel, Hernan Diaz plays with form in intriguing, if not somewhat simplistic ways. The idea of not getting the 'full story' or context, especially in the light of history and certain roles that are" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Michael Goddart  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Don’t expect perfection and things to go the way you want
them to when it comes to people, business, your prospects,
and your social life. When things don’t go according to your desires, when the weather of life is foul, be creative and
consider what may be the higher reasons why this is
happening and why you must adjust. Perhaps it’s to gain forbearance, patience, inner strength, flexibility, or the
ability to withhold criticism while serving as a loving model.”
