At the start of the semester, it was originally my goal to finish one book per week. However, I realized that was just a little too ambitious to accomplish.
A few weeks ago, I read Anna Quindlen's “Miller’s Valley,” which explored the theme of home and what to do when a home is lost. This week I encountered a book with similar themes, though it was vastly different in content.
Usually, whenever I choose to read a book, I feel as though I have to like the main character. However, after reading “The Dinner” by Dutch writer Herman Koch I found this was not the case.
As spring semester begins to draw to a close, it’s difficult not to get nostalgic. While it’s too early for me to look back on the books I’ve read over the course of the semester, I can still reminisce about books I’ve read in the past.
While growing up, one usually has a concept of “home,” a familiar place where loved ones reside. The coming-of-age story, “Miller’s Valley” by Anna Quindlen, explores the theme of home and what happens when it is lost.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a writer. I pictured myself as a famous author of fiction, maybe even as famous as J.K. Rowling or Stephen King.
For whatever reason, I have never read a book of short stories before. That changed this week when I picked up Ted Chiang’s “Stories of Your Life and Others.”
This week, I have film on the brain.
Although reading a wide variety of books is beneficial, sometimes everyone just wants to pick up a book by a familiar author. That’s what I did this week when I read Liane Moriarty’s “Big Little Lies.”
When I was younger and reading regularly, I would always force myself to finish whatever book I was currently reading, even if I wasn’t enjoying it. To me, giving up on a book was a sin, a sign of weakness.
This week, I am looking at another book that deals, among other things, with complicated family relationships. For my first nonfiction read of the semester, I chose the memoir “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.”
I used to be one of those people that swore by paper books and vowed that if I could, I would avoid reading e-books.
As Leo Tolstoy famously wrote in “Anna Karenina,” “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
