I’m thankful for my reading friends.
You’re insightful, encouraging, uplifting. You help me understand things I’d never see on my own, prod me to a diversity of books, and keep me going even on those I’d otherwise not continue.

Now that we are actually reading Madame Bovary, I can’t remember what all KOK said about it?
Do you think Flaubert influenced his writing?? If so, in what way?

we're gonna do a knausgaard zoom. we just have to.

I spat out my coffee:

"Suburban, narcissistic daydreams, a phallic never-never-land for middle-aged women."

Somehow, it made me think of some of KOK's critical observations on Swedish upper-middle class women in My Struggle... #knausgaardtogether

from my blue sky digital persona—“Rbru’s presence brings warmth, wisdom, and just the right amount of snark to the community, ensuring that whether you're discussing Knausgaard or the latest Bills play, you’re in for a good time” #knausgaardtogether, #anthonypowelltogether

The folks at #knausgaardtogethertheseasons will start “Winter” on Dec. 2. This is the second book in KOK’s “Seasons Quartet”. Like “Autumn”, it is a series of short personal essays. No prior knowledge required.
We welcome you to join in!
