song of myself is life changing. such positivity! such life affirming joy! i can feel walt, just as he says, when i’m walking barefoot in the grass

Joyce sure has a way with words. This is a cruel book, unrelenting. There's a few pages simply about the main character washing her hands, perhaps the best part of the book

Don't like this because it hits too close to home. The miracle of discovering someone to love who loves you, only to lose them and be left unmoored, virtually alone... I can't stand it!!! It's too much!!!

Expected a fun historical ride, did not expect to become emotionally attached to these, in comparison to modern lit, vague characters. Gilgamesh and Enkidu are just amazing. And the poetry of it all! The brazen language! Its delicious!

justice for fanny. she's in no way boring

i love this book. yes it's simple, but that's what's so good. endlessly enjoyable.

great atmosphere. and i have to admit, i do love a shocking turn and i didn't see all of them coming! lovely mystery, amazing ending
