Lately I’ve been wondering if a story’s ability to stick with me and stay clear in my mind is an indication that I’d recommend it. Usually I think “how did this book make me feel?” And if the answer is “uncomfortable” of “bleak” usually I put it in the no pile. But sometimes those are the books I still think about years later so maybe that’s saying something? I dunno. Will look into Among Friends now!
Currently reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (I know, I’m like three years late to the party). After not reading fiction for years for no particular reason, this has been a great read to suck me back in and I’m loving it!
Still thinking about Among Friends. Haven't concluded how I felt about it but I devoured it quickly.
