#KateBriggs24 #AContinuation25 Took some time today to finally go back and finish HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER, the last section on "Holding forth," and what a pleasure it was to return to Barthes's voice! I've missed it. I'm looking forward to getting to THE NEUTRAL next year.

After I got past my initial election derailment, November ended up being a great reading month. I finished part 3 of our #KateBriggs24 reading project, books 20 & 21 of #NYRBWomen24, a reread of Özlü for #NovellaClub, and several others that I would highly recommend.

When I started following #KateBriggs24 I anticipated reading 3 books by 1 author, but instead, this happened! ❤
And the best bit is, it's not over. #AContinuation25 begins tomorrow with a slow reading of Tom Jones!

After finishing it, I was having a conversation with a friend and realized I was speaking in a The Long Form kind of way; my way of thinking had been changed. Only a powerful book can do that. #KateBriggs24

#KateBriggs24 This is the pile of books I amassed while reading THE LONG FORM. Thankfully, most were already on my shelves, but I was also compelled to purchase a few. @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social @sparrowpost.bsky.social

I finished rereading Kate Briggs’ THE LONG FORM a few days ago & it was even more amazing than the first time I read it, if that’s possible. Her balance of play, intellect, curiosity & spaciousness is so impressive; threads are beautifully woven together & her writing uplifts me. #KateBriggs24

‘However you use the word, always remember to link critical with crisis: the aim of criticism [literary criticism in particular] is to provoke a crisis.’
Roland Barthes, How to Live Together (transl. Kate Briggs) #KateBriggs24
I can’t stop thinking about this.

Copy of The Long Form by Kate Briggs
Passage from The Long Form: "The live being constantly loses and re-establishes equilibrium with (their surroundings." This is its base rhythm, its bare rhythm, wrote John Dewey. But possibly, it's the tipping. The risk of necessary tran-sition. "The moment of passage from disturbance into harmony is that of intensest life."
I will miss reading Briggs' The Long Form. It's so good.

Kim’s efforts for #KateBriggs24 have been nothing short of fantastic. I’ve been on the project sidelines, reading a bit here and there, and I’m relieved for Kim’s tireless and rhapsodic work at my fingertips. joiedevivre9.com/katebriggs24.html

“Perhaps the ideal lecture course would be one where the professor—the locutor—is less interesting than his audience, where what he says is of less consequence than what his lectures provoke.” Barthes, How to Live Together. #KateBriggs24

We’ve used #KateBriggs24 for the project the Tom Jones read is coming out of, but we may need something new! What do you think @joiedevivre9.bsky.social?

Screenshot of part of p. 419 from The Long Form by Kate Briggs. The highlighted text says, “"What is true of space is true of time." A provision of room requires also a provision of time.”
Really feeling this. #KateBriggs24

I finished it about an hour ago. I'm so glad I read it slowly, with the schedule. It deserves the space it writes of and gives us. #KateBriggs24
