Peter is on page 100 of 416 of Biography of X

I've made false starts on a number of novels lately- but not this one- wow! kiss ass from page 1. chilling in the current political times in a handmaids tale style, but so much more

Peter is on page 129 of 471 of The Story of a New Name (Neapolitan Novels, #2)

eh, having trouble getting into the story, the same old dynamics as the first in the series, which I also found bland. the tightness and structure others see just isn't showing to me, but I'll give it more time

great! i’m doing both the McCarter and Garth translations in parallel. The McCarter has no poetry but is easy to understand, while the Garth is the opposite. on balance i’d vote for garth

Peter is on page 32 of 387 of The Sentence

what a great beginning! but is all seems wrapped by by page 32...
