it won the pulitzer in the 80s and is immensely readable, about a bunch of cowboys in texas in the 1870s. i have never liked a western and am enjoying this!

A non traditional western about a man’s life, starting in his home country and continuing in the US after he’s separated from his family. I would say this is not my usual genre (historical fiction), but I serious loved it and everyone in my book club enjoyed it as well. It’s paced nicely, so I never got bored, and the writing was so enjoyable.

Shit bangs in a demented way you don’t expect such an old story to. But it does. It really does.

go to your local library‘s website or download the app. then search for a book you really want to read. then put it on hold. it feels like online shopping but it’s free. in a few days or weeks you'll get a cute text message or email that your book is ready to pick up and you’ll get to say hello to your local librarians and procure a new (to you) book which also feels like free shopping. the most functional part of our government ily public libraries

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!
