I have already read this book, however, I am excited to share it - "Educated" by Tara Westover (2018): A memoir detailing Westover's experience growing up in a survivalist Mormon family and her eventual pursuit of higher education, showcasing themes of self-discovery and breaking free from societal constraints.
Or - a book that has sparked my interest but I have not read, and cannot vouch for, "Trout Fishing in America" by Richard Brautigan: A surreal and poetic novel that defies traditional narrative structure, offering a series of vignettes exploring the absurdity of modern life and the search for authenticity.
Does one tickle the fancy more than the other for any of you?
Oh, Trout Fishing for sure. In fact, just ordered a used copy!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the introduction to Trout Fishing in America is by Billy Collins, and he's a poet I admire. I'm assuming Billy had good things to say, so I'll get that book in any case. Thanks for stepping up.
ReplyDeleteTrout Fishing it is, then!
ReplyDeleteOkay then, I'll get the word out.
