@literaturesc.bsky.social I noticed a Day Off on #anthonypowelltogether for this Friday, and it says Day Off 1. How many days off do we get? :) Only asking because I am flying to Maine early on Friday and wondering if I should take the heavy volume or not. I will be back in DC on Wednesday. - ThreadSky

I think 3. I’ve finished VOB (😳). If I were you, I’d just catch up on those couple of days when you get back.

Hahaha- I was going to advise that Sarah read ahead 30 pages before the trip! Tomato, tomahto.

I know-- hate the 3 day break. May just bluster ahead on my own. Am feeling restless. . .

christina500.bsky.social•18 days ago

My restlessness led me to start "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. LeGuin (who I worship.) I am also some pages ahead in ADTTMOT and plodding along with Morante's bleak, angry, mesmerizing "Lies and Sorcery"-

I stumbled upon a group reading Richardson's Clarissa. They are doing it in real time. An epistolary novel that starts slowly in January, it is surprisingly riveting.

We’re different you and I. I’m a #monogamousreader dedicated to living in one world at a time. Devoted, subservient. I may read many lesser things at a time but can’t not give a great writer my full attention. May have to go rogue.

I’m reading the Odyssey also. And some lighter books for our library book clubs, so a little break works for me.
And I also just got the only Olga Tokarczuk book I haven’t read yet (House of Day, House of Night) from interlibrary loan.

I'll join you.

sarahdiligenti.bsky.social•18 days ago

I still need to catch up on Knausgaard... I am so sorry to be so behind. Life is tough right now.

Hope your weekend away is refreshing.
