I normally read mystery, thriller, horror types of books, I decided to try something different and I absolutely love this very early on. I've been an avid gamer my whole life and finding a book that describes so closely to a million different games I've played, it's just so enjoyable!!!
I have just finished this book, I don't know anyone else in person who has read it and I'd really like to discuss it.
Has anyone finished it, what did you think?
Just finishing up A little life by Hanya Yanagihara - tell me something i'll understand once i start this book ~ no spoilers plss 🩶
I’m reading this one currently and loving it and really trying to delve into the underlying thoughts and messages that Pasolini is giving. Has anyone else read this and what were your thoughts? I haven’t seen the film.
This prologue.
"Some nights, if I'm sleeping on my own, I still dream about Whitehorn House...the house is always empty. The bedroom are bare and bright, only my footsteps echoing off the floorboards, circling up through the sun and the dust motes to the high ceilings...in the sitting room the piano is open, wood glowing chestnut and almost too bright to look at in the bars of sun, the breeze stirring the yellowed sheet music like a finger. The table is laid ready for us, five settings—the bone-china plates and the long-stemed wineglasses, fresh-cut honeysuckle trailing from a crystal bowl—but the silverware has gone dim with tarnish and the heavy damask napkins are frilled with dust. Daniel's cigarette case lies by his place at the head of the table, open and empty except for a burnt-down match. Somewhere in the house, faint as a fingernail-flick at the edge of my hearing, there are sounds: a scuffle, whispers. It almost stops my heart. The others aren't gone, I got it all wrong somehow. They're only hiding; they're still here, for ever and ever." —Tana French, The Likeness
