Re: now reading 2.0
i have never been to PNG but have some family connections there, my grandparents met thereNinny wrote:My mum gave me 'Dokter aan de wisselmeren', written by a doctor in Papua new guinea early 50's. It describes Papua daily life, very interesting It has a touch of colonialism, things have changes so fast. My daddy visited these lands while he was in the navy, he didn't talk much about these days so now I have a picture

Re: now reading 2.0
After a war these Papuans count casualties and then kill among their group to settle scores. In this way making the number of dead even This seems a fair deal, a tip for the UN maybeUser wrote:i have never been to PNG but have some family connections there, my grandparents met thereNinny wrote:My mum gave me 'Dokter aan de wisselmeren', written by a doctor in Papua new guinea early 50's.

Re: now reading 2.0
The ending of that one is tattooed into my mind. Was it used for any of the films? It's beautifully written, but visually I think it would be kind of clunky.Ninny wrote:Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
I've been re-reading parts of Blood Meridian after discussing it with a fellating lover at work. I should probably find out if he actually wants to borrow it because I always worry that when I lend someone a book they'll feel obligated to read it regardless of how much free time they have, and then for whatever reason before finally handing it off I always develop a strong desire to re-read it.
Some day I'll pull out a dictionary and look up the hundreds of words in that one that I've never even seen before (most are contextually obvious) but for now I'm content following the narrative on a basic level and being in awe over every aspect of the delivery.

i finished reading the handmaid’s tale yesterday
the epilogue is intensely unnecessary and unsatisfying but everything that came before the epilogue is the exact opposite of those two things
i will be reading more books by margaret atwood now

Re: now reading 2.0
In the rare occasion I hear anything about A Confederacy of Dunces it's given tons of praise and regarded as hilarious. Has anyone here read it? I was thinking of ordering a copy, but I'm hesitant to buy more books given that I still have a few sitting around that I haven't gotten to yet.

Re: now reading 2.0
i don't have any input on that book
but i am absolutely shaken by the fact that i had k-punk, city & great transformation in 2018. i have not finished any of them. also added jia tolentino's trick mirror & matt stoller's goliath to the list of "books i have acquired and started and will probably never finish" though what little i've read of both are wonderful
