The reason I reread Hamlet earlier this fall. Two things drew me to this one - the description of it as a takeoff on Hamlet set in the North Woods of Minnesota, and the author is Leif Enger's brother.

Feels funny to reread this one 15-20 years after I first read it, but am looking at it this time through the lens of general relational health. Dating and our closest friendships of course aren't the same, but some of what's in here is really wise, universally applicable people-picker stuff.

I'm goin' in... Only hitting this one right now because there's a novel in my TBR for this fall that's somewhat of a reinvention of this story and I want to pick up on any references.

Taking my time with this reread.

Let readthrough #4 begin. Last time was a few years ago.

Part 1 was the big picture. A lot of this I more or less knew, and a lot I didn't. Don't quiz me on this one - it's a ton of info and though it's a textbook I'm not taking time to do the discussion questions and writing assignments. Coming to this book for greater context and some helpful interpretive tools, but this is one I'll be referring back to rather than remembering everything from.

Was going to wait until fall to dive into these sorts of books, but I've been doing a chronological read-through of the Bible this year and this dovetails with where I'm at in that right now (currently working my way through Isaiah).

So much is familiar in this one, I must have read it in school ages ago.
