[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently, “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah. Oof. Her writing is painful. [/quote]

Yay, I have found my people! I read it and thought it was “okay.” But then I heard so many raves that I accidentally checked it out a second time thinking it was a different book. I got about 1/3 of the way through before thinking “wait, this seems VERY familiar….” I actually quick-read it a second time, thinking maybe I had missed its brilliance, but nope. [/quote]

I have a facebook friend who is an English professor and raved about this book. I thought it was just ok as well. [/quote]

Rushdie's style seems like a very brilliant author who is determined to show his reader just how brilliant he is. Madame Bovary is my all time, how is this awful book a classic? [/quote]

I thought Madame Bovary was the biggest whiner ever when I read it in college. Now that I’m older, I’ve warmed to her and her predicament. [/quote]

Except she doesn't actually whine at any point.[/quote]

Pp here. But she’s always disgruntled with her situation. [/quote]
