Mostly this is attributed to translation issues, but she has a few she likes so she gave this book a try. My full review can be found here.īette’s Book: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquezīette joined us from our main library book club and her book was intimidating to her because sometimes she has issues with foreign writers. Once I got into it, the book ended up being well worth the read. The book is thick and the author is very wordy which made it hard to get through. As the days crunched down and got closer to the deadline, I was panicking that I was not going to be able to finish on time, and my ability to receive more ARCs was riding on me finishing on time. As a librarian of a two-staff, one-room, hectic tiny library, my time to read at the desk is slim to none and as a soon-to-be-married, wedding planning crazy woman my personal time is also highly precious. I received it as an Advanced Reader’s Copy from the publisher and my review was due by a certain date.
Shellie’s Book: Paris in the Present Tense by Mark HelprinĪs leader of the group, I started us off with my book which is not due to be released until October.
Our readers had a great time exploring new books and sharing their reading experiences. Also remember that what is intimidating to you may be an easy read for someone else. Whatever the reason, there are millions of books that intimidate readers of all ages and backgrounds, and there is no shame in this! The point of this month’s themed book club was to embrace those books, shatter the stereotype of a “scary” book, and broaden our horizons to try something we normally would shy away from. Let’s face it, a book on philosophy is not everybody’s cup of tea.
I’m sorry, Moby Dick is how long? Or maybe it’s the subject matter. What makes a book intimidating? It could be how big the book is.
