I got to read some good books. I loved Faust pt. 1 by Goethe! Cujo by Stephen King was very bleak and I mean that in a good way. I DNFβd 2 but we wonβt talk about themβ¦

So you've sold your cow for magic beans. You've dutifully planted and watered the beans, kept the dirt free of weeds and built a fence to keep out the rabbits. It soon becomes apparent these beans will not take you to a land in the clouds. What happens instead?

57 pages in, astonishing how misread it is. Nabokov makes the narrator insufferable & unreliable from the jump. He is detestable in many ways. The prose is really amazing. The section where he describes himself as a spider in a web; Youβre caught in the words he manipulates.

What an odd little book! Both charming and off-putting. Creepy and pastoral. I kept picturing the characters looking like they were claymation in Tim Burton style. Reminded me of Shirley Jacksonβs We Have Always Lived in the Castle! I recommend, especially if you like that one!

Iβm so pleasantly surprised at how funny Faust by Goethe is. Mephistopheles is quite sassy.

I finished reading The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells! Another book that left me feeling quite odd; conflicting feelings light and dark. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

highly recommended for
#literaryfiction
ππ Where to start with Nobel Prize winner LΓ‘szlΓ³ Krasznahorkai. The Hungarian novelist is difficult & dark, yet funny; his apocalypticism is leavened by a humane belief in the value of art. Here are some excellent recommendations

Iβm so torn over which title by LΓ‘szlΓ³ Krasznahorkai's to read first. Iβm between 3: Satantango, The Melancholy of Resistance, War and War

Every time I go outside and just be, I realize (again) that the poets were right: being out in the natural world is the closest thing to being near the divine. Nature offers such sweet solace. π
