Henry VIII

Hi everyone,

So I finally read the novel Q, which I quite enjoyed. When I finished it I looked over my shelf and I had an unread hard copy of Mantel's Wolf Hall. Turned out to be a lovely coincidence.

It was a treat to read Wolf Hall after Q, with the broader perspective on the Lutherans and Anabaptists sorta illuminating some of what went down with Henry VIII. I had tried to crack Wolf Hall a few t Read more of this blog post »

Toward the end of the story the narrator tells us she’s tired of telling it - she was boring herself, and she was boring me too. This felt like a story told in the dark, told around something in a consumable way that doesn’t threaten or challenge any ...more

A look into the thinking of one of the moral giants in today’s media landscape (dumpster fire). I found Mishra overexplained his childhood attraction to Israel, as if to get on the same page as centrist liberals, before sharing some of his more insig ...more

Well down the Booker list and I wanna know where the lesbians are. Another hyperviolent novel, this one without a single dash of humor, carried by a storyline that tries to swing wide and back and ends up threading too tight to be believed. 2.5 round ...more

Switzy by Emma Cline

I adored this novel. The loss, the humor and the slipping, bending, and irritable protagonist, all human qualities I feel we don’t interact with or interrogate often enough. This novel hit close to home, at times gorgeous, at others so very sad.

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

“The state needs something to make the population believe that there needs to be militarization, in order to control everything. That something had to be invented, and it’s called drug trafficking,”
― Dawn Paley, Drug War Capitalism

“To get rich, one must have but a single idea, one fixed, hard, immutable thought: the desire to make a heap of gold. And in order to increase this heap of gold, one must be inflexible, a usurer, thief, extortionist, and murderer! And one must especially mistreat the small and the weak! And when this mountain of gold has been amassed, one can climb up on it, and from up on the summit, a smile on one’s lips, one can contemplate the valley of poor wretches that one has created.” —Petrus Borel, Champavert, Immoral Tales”
― Dawn Paley, Drug War Capitalism
