How interesting that you don’t cry over books! I think that’s great, since I regularly spill gallons of tears. However, I suspect the book acts as a cathartic agent for the need to cry, rather than the book and the crying being more closely related!

So Blonde is good? I’ve only read a couple of Joyce Carol Oates’ novels and I enjoyed them both, even though they were disturbing and at times downright unpleasant reads. I keep half-wanting to pick her up again and then putting it off. But I’m interested in Blonde, as I like all fictionalised accounts of historical figures. Don’t know why but they appeal!

Irene, glad I’m not the only one!
Rhapsody it may have something to do with the fact that recently I’ve been reading mainly crime fiction and I didn’t pu myself in any of the characters shoes!
Litlove, Blonde is good but also very long and intense. I had to space out my reading sessions. I like fictionalised accounts of real people too. I’ll write more about my thoughts about this book in separate post. I often find Oates’s novels disturbing and this was no exception – Challenging reading.

I don´t cry over crime fiction either, but certain films …
I could probably answer most of these, but as part of my trimming my TBR vow, I have stayed clear of the library for several months so I have no idea what I borrowed there.
