Hemingway

This is probably the very thickest, heavy weight material yet. The texture is pronounced and “rugged”. I love the interlocking pattern:

I’ve been knocking out audiobooks like mad as I’m working on our basement bathroom project. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was a book that I wanted to read for quite awhile. A non-fiction account set in Savannah, Georgia that includes memorable characters, beautiful southern landscape, and... Murder! This book was released in 1994 and stayed on the NYT bestseller list for 216 weeks (4 YEARS!) X I liked the details and history of Savannah, I enjoyed hearing the stories of some of the people that John Berendt lived and worked with. I also liked the intriguing story of murder and a cover up, but particularly the fact that the murder triad were each somewhat condensed in the account. X Have you ever visited Savannah? What did you think? Worth a visit? X #italicbookmarks #nytbestseller #midnight #midnightinthegardenofgoodandevil #goodandevil #voodoo #johnberendt #books #audiobooks

Well, here it is. My end of 2019 stack. I hope to get through these four books within the next two months. I am about half way through East of Eden and The Overstory. I started those books earlier this year then got distracted with other books I was excited for, or had to return to the library, etc. I am also hoping to get through two of Colson Whitehead’s shorter books from a few years back. Zone One and Apex Hides the Hurt. X Which books are you hoping to finish before the end of the year?

The Institute is a good chance for anyone who has wanted to give Stephen King a try. It’s not as gritty, not as strange, not nearly as brutal or terrifying as many of his other books. It is wonderful, gripping, and man can the man write! X The Institute tells of a young boy abducted and sent to a secret facility in the woods where they conduct very strange experiments on the minds of young people. Good guys and bad guys are clearly defined in this story. You will very quickly wish for the very worst to come to the people that run The Institute, but you have to wait until the very end to find out if it ever happens. X The book is lengthy, about 550 pages, but I flew through this one like I tend to do with many of King’s books. While it wasn’t quite as clever or original as some of his other books, I still really loved The Institute. X Are you excited to read The Institute? If you already read it, what did you think?
