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.

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.

49 pre menopausal/ hated it so much.

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?

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

Best book I read in 2024 was Matrix by Lauren Groff.

Correct!

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

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.

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.
