On the home stretch of #Bomarzo. The main character is a whiny, narcissistic POS, but there's something so compelling about his whining that I genuinely like it. As much as I'm enjoying this 600pp bitch fest, I'm very much looking forward to something new. #booksky #teatime #modernlit #nyrb

Literature isn’t just stories. They're culture, sentiments, and dialogues across time. It's beautiful stuff. It reflects chaos, complex characters, and diverse voices. It’s a mirror to society ~ and I find it tirelessly fascinating.

Book cover of "Tender Buttons: Objects, Food, Rooms" by Gertrude Stein. Goldenrod yellow background with a black-outline- frame illustration of a woman in an art nouveau style evening gown standing on steps, flanked by Italian Renaissance youths sitting in steps: one writing, one playing a mandolin.

So, I just finished reading *Tender Buttons.* My first Gertrude Stein. I'm very aware of her historic importance, but as an #author? Not much. I didn't realize this was #poetry ahead of time. Clearly, she was experimental, but I don't get it. I'll try again.

I started reading John Dos Passos's 1925 novel Manhattan Transfer on January 9th. I've been picking at it all year... but am determined to finish it! Currently 72% done.
