[BookishTexan]

I am struggling to maintain my interest in The Book of Form and Emptiness. The writing is excellent, but the story feels like an amalgam of other things I have read. I keep waiting for it to grab me a bit more so I can get through.

Oh good now i have reason to listen to books i already read. My libby account is going to love me.And yes listening to a book counts as reading

[kolst]

Regarding Pride and Prejudice, I listened to the same Audiobook. I enjoyed it very much. The one problem I had was sometimes the sentences were long and complicated so I'd have to rewind and listen again. Other than that, it was great.

I agree on Wuthering Heights—I have never understood the appeal. I’ve read it twice—once in school and then once in 2022 to make sure I wasn’t missing something—and that’s enough for me.
