Keeping memorable things from books, be it profound statements, beautiful bits of prose, or things that just make me feel good to read.

@ReReadingWolfe I don't think I'll ever read any more of it, I just don't think SFF is for me.

A much loved SFF novel was next: "The Shadow of the Torturer" by Gene Wolf, the first in the Book of the New Sun. If this is the highest high SFF can reach, I'm worried. Review: https://t.co/bGh9JG4AgC

More award winning stuff with "The Sound of Things Falling" by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, gripping, until it wasn't. Review: https://t.co/nMibf2EpWL

Next was "The English Understand Wool" by Helen DeWitt. Charming and clever, but ultimately it felt unfinished. Review: https://t.co/ib4FXmhFkJ

Then I partially read the abysmal "Spinning Silver" by Naomi Novik - truly awful. Review: https://t.co/gstZ19uILZ

[Marc @TheBookmarc]

Truly a work of complete genius. Review: https://t.co/70zaAMGRE8

As if I didn't have enough modernist rereads, next I decided to dive back in to James Joyce's "Ulysses", one of my all time favourites.

An incredible work, and one that has endless beauty. Review: https://t.co/5fCVhvqcpe

3 years of updates, but - the next book was a re-read of Virginia Woolf's "To The Lighthouse"
