Really considering deleting GoodReads and going analog for 2026...keeping a physical journal to track my reading progress. I love seeing y'all's updates, so maybe just a temporary break?? A decision will be made at some point soon, lol. XD

Returning to this after a month break is less than ideal, but here we are.

Do not start this book the night before Christmas at 10 p.m. unless you want to be sad. Also, it's now almost 1 a.m., so MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

OOOO, so this is going to break my heart. Also, not Ireland haunting me again.

You have to get past the first 20-30 pages and this book...THIS BOOK. Frick, am I going to end up liking Saul Bellow?

So far, only have disliked one poem. A win is a win!

Loving this collection, and really appreciating "The Wild Barnacle" after my Yeats class this fall.

Is this getting better?? What is Micheal Jackson doing here??

So far, insufferable . . . we might be DNFing, gang.

Respectfully, for someone who says he knows nothing of female friendship, someone is making a lot of comments on female friendship. Not really here for it.

Is listening to this helping or impeding my writing?? Idk, man!

Why is this lowkey giving Charade vibes now??

Gonna try and finish listening to this tonight with my work!!

Absolutely WILD title, but so far, quite good.

Uhmmmm....why is Priscilla taunting Hamish with the death of his fiancé? She's always cared for Hamish, and I feel like this takes her teasing too far.

NOOOOO! I DIDN'T FINISH BEFORE CLASS!!! it's okay, we will see it through!!

audiobooking it from here, fam!

I just want course work to be over so I can do fun reading again!

Invisible Man reading the letter from Bledsoe made me so mad and sad for him!! Hating on a 19 year old and making him think you're helping him and he has a future at the school?! I know this is not the saddest part of this novel, but this broke me.

Can I count this as a read if I've listened to it and not had a real clue of what's going on? Does this win the prize for weirdest Faulkner??

Is listening to this on audio the way to go?? Idk fam.

This man's obsession with describing characters' bodies aging is...disturbing.
