The book is absolutely fabulous. The premise of the novel is hard to imagine having happened, but it apparently did. Goodman's account is fictional, of course, but she makes it believable. The voice, the character development - all are exceptional. I ...more

Babel by R.F. Kuang
"For us Goodreads Challenge readers, this book should have counted for FIVE BOOKS!!! It was like reading all of Harry Potter's books in one book. And how do you provide a good summary with so much content.

Babel by R.F. Kuang
"(3.5) I raced through the first 200 pages or so at the start of the year and loved all the geeky etymological footnotes and musings on translation. I thought I’d read it within a matter of days, which would have been a real feat for me. It’s hard to " Read more of this review »

“Living as a couple never means that each gets half. You must take turns at giving more than getting. It’s not the same as a bow to the other whether to dine out rather than in, or which one gets massaged that evening with oil of calendula; there are seasons in the life of a couple that function, I think, a little like a night watch. One stands guard, often for a long time, providing the serenity in which the other can work at something. Usually that something is sinewy and full of spines. One goes inside the dark place while the other one stays outside, holding up the moon.”
