I’ll talk about you or anyone else as I wish.
Just ignore the posts!
Or ask Hugs to contact the police, or Martin to ban me from jc.
Tsk.
The universities have been churning out people who are over-educated for the jobs they have, and their bitter status-consciousness is palpable.
I don’t follow Man Booker prize winners. I read about the Lincoln novel in the NYRB, where it received a very interesting review.
Barry’s Days Without End – a sort of Civil War Brokeback Mountain – also received an interesting review in the same paper. When I looked at it, it was as beautifully written as anything Barry writes, but I decided agin. I’m reading Pierre Michon atm.
And I’ll write where and what I like.
How childish. I asked you politely to stop addressing me or discussing me. A simple request.
It would seem there is no escape … sigh. Fine do as you wish, I shall endeavor to ignore.
Thanks for the suggestions Jane xx

I actually started this thread to get away from your all encompassing monologues and maybe get a few suggestions from other chatters, yet here we are again…. with you telling me I’m touchy and ready to strike, although only you seem to think that. Its a thread about books, not me. I would have said ” Have you read The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann ? ” not assumed that someone hadn’t, that be the difference between coming across as patronising or just making a suggestion.
”You seem to be very well-read, if you’re reading Lincoln the Bardo.”
Lol, yea well it won The Golden Man Booker Prize so I guess lots of people have read Lincoln In The Bardo, at halfway through its less about Lincolns son and more about the Bardo presently. I would say, moving, very funny, quite crude and very ‘different’.
A friend also suggested Sebastian Barry, Days without End,I think or similar, I may give one a go after this. Thankyou for your suggestion.
Lol @ if you dare, typical, more assumptions. To everyone else…. I’ve read’The Magic Mountain’ I remember my Eng Lit tutor suggesting / insisting I did , mind it was many moons ago. Having said that it is regarded as a classic so most ‘readers’ will have either read it or know about it, obviously. I’m really enjoying George Saunders ‘Lincoln the Bardo’ loving it, not surprised at its acclaim. Its different but once you get in the mind frame it flows easy. The Lincoln theme is mere coincidence btw.
And yes I know what Bardo means ……..

I wish you’d change your pic,,,, it gives me the willies, not sure why …. 1 member liked this post.
For the record, also expecting criticism of ‘popular novels ‘ yawn….
yea I read Girl on a train about 2 years before they made a film of it, decent novel, films are never as good as the original book, with maybe ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird ‘ one exception, because, obviously ones own imagination is far clearer than someone else’
I get the feeling not many ‘readers’ here then ….
Fifty shades of Grey ….. I’d rather eat my own foot, thanks anyway….
