Helen - is that the book that Ed Norton adapted into film?
Yes, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I found the main character fascinating.
Nice. I saw him interviewed on Joe Rogans podcast and it sounded like a really interesting story. That was before I had added GoodReads and didn’t have the book flagged. Thanks for posting so I could update my “Want to Read” shelf. Glad to hear it’s fascinating as well!
I am reading Joyce Carol Oates' upcoming novel Night, Sleep, Death, The Stars for Net Galley. It's a really interesting read about how a prominent family falls to pieces after the tragic demise of their patriarch. I got really invested in the characters and felt involved with their struggles.
That's great to hear about Joyce Carol Oates' newest forthcoming book, Jackie. I've never read her works. Is there a title to recommend to me or others to start with?NetGalley sent me Emily St. John Mandel's The Glass Hotel a few weeks back. She's the writer of Station Eleven. I was very impressed with Mandel's newest book. Here's my brief review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show....
Hi Ben,I really liked Widow's Story, and also Blonde.
Thanks for the tip on The Glass Hotel- I loved Station Eleven!
Manson, The Family, the 60s, a dirty prosecutor, and the FBI/CIA. What started as a magazine assignment, turned into a 20 year investigation that resulted in some very interesting findings surrounding Manson and the murders. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
