So well written, slyly funny, enjoyed revisiting this classic narrated from the point of view of a slave.

Let me fix that for you: *an enslaved person*

Am I the only one who finds “let me fix that for you” terribly annoying?

I just finished it. I can't say I hated it, but even though I am a 52 year old menopausal woman, I could not relate to her at all.

I appreciate its quirky nature I guess, but agree. I couldn't relate at all. 49...maybe it hit too close to home. But, I found the protagonist a bit unhinged and selfish.

Best book I read this year was Sebastian Yunger's In My Time of Dying.

A near death experience for someone that doesn't believe in God. The experiences he had, the people that had passed that appeared to him, gave me pause.

So- these don’t have to have been published in 2024, right? Just books we loved and read this year?

Not as annoying as perpetuating racism and harming people with ignorance though, is it?

Almost done with All Fours (late 40s female). I can’t wait to be done with it and on to the next read. I find her incredibly unlikable as a main character and didn’t particularly enjoy the writing.
