Hello, I just imported my GoodReads data and am giving federation a try. I like to read things on the "100 best novels/classics/whatevers" lists. I like to think that makes me an educated gentleman, but I probably just means I'm a dork.

I'm about halfway through this. Considering stopping. Not really clicking with me. I guess the main mystery is whether or not the guy ultimately survives, but he's so unlikeable, I don't care if he lives or not.

I got the Kindle edition as a holiday gift. I enjoyed the beginning and then kind of lost interest. I put it down for a few months and then finished it in a few days. I guess I needed to be in a back-to-school frame of mind to enjoy it.

I saw the trailer for the AppleTV+ show and decided to check out the book. Holy crap, it sucked me in. Very entertaining.

Meh. Not a lot I didn't already know. Rural people vote for one party, and don't really demand anything in return, and so they don't get much of anything.

I sort of inadvertently became a collector of old Modern Library hardcovers. I was in my local used book shop this weekend nearly bought one before realizing I already had a copy.
To prevent this from happening in the future, I considered making a spreadsheet of which titles I already have, but then I realized I could make a list or shelf here on BookWyrm. I'm not sure which approach is best. Probably a list(?).
Feedback / links to relevant documentation appreciated. #modernlibrary #books #oldbooks #bookwyrm #bookcollection

I heard of this book from an episode of the Upstream Podcast (www.upstreampodcast.org/). I'm not very far into it yet, but it is fascinating. Lots of discussion so far about the extent of racism and organized crime in the early Jazz scene.
