Did I - did I receive an advance copy of the book? Why yes, yes I did

"Odd, that resentment of servants, and their obvious impatience" p10 LOL
loving these descriptions of loneliness and isolation, very good mood setting!

"In a capitalist society, being unemployed is the most radical thing you can do." Spoken like a true unemployed creative

Enjoyed my previous Michael Lewis books so hopefully will enjoy this one!

Got this book back from the library and so happy! Rereading and finish it this time!

A bad book! The constant quoting back and forth is sooooo annoying and pretentious and contrary to what the author thinks, does not explain the character's feelings. Also her husband SUCKS

"The exhibition in photographs of cruelties inflicted on those with darker complexions in exotic countries continues this offering, oblivious to the consideration that deter such displays of our own victims of violence; for the other, even when not an enemy, is regarded only as someone to be seen, not someone (like us) who also sees." p63

"And photographs of the victims of war are themselves a species of rhetoric. They reiterate. They simplify. They agitate. They create the illusion of consensus." p3

Been wanting to read this for a while now, especially with the non stop footage on social media from Gaza.

Barely started and already love this book! So so good!

« I like watching pretty young girls sleeping » EW this man is so gross

"Ever since I started to wise up, my family's been perpetually disappointed in me. Though it hurt them, I shattered their image of me little by little. If I didn't, I'd have to sacrifice myself in order to maintain a false ideal." page 76
I'm LOVING this book!

Already such a good book wow!

I'm still so on the fence! I feel like there's a downward spiral happening, as if the author is exacting revenge?? I guess I'll see with how it ends

It's already giving Patrick Bateman. I'm mitigée on the violence against women in these kinds of stories so the rest of the book and writing better be stellar to warrant these themes

George better not kiss and tell!

"It was not that ladies were inferior to men; it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves." p37 :(

Been waiting to read this one!
