Dubliners

James Joyce, Terence Brown | 2000 | Fiction & Poetry

7.5

Book Favorite

"The lives of ordinary people in a second rate city are given depth and tragic resonance in sensually realized prose. “The Dead,” in particular succeeds in rendering a perfectly realistic scene: a holiday party, brilliantly capturing different voices and registers, and then wallops us with a vision of life, love, death and meaning."

Winesburg, Ohio

Sherwood Anderson | 1919 | Fiction & Poetry

4.0

Book Favorite

"A strange and beautiful book about the lonely souls and thwarted dreamers who inhabit a small Ohio town. There’s no sentimentality in Anderson’s vision, no nostalgia for middle America in a simpler time. Winesburg is a place where people are doomed to remain a mystery to their neighbors, and even to themselves."

Two people in different parts of the world - one with a secret, the other looking for a long-lost answer - come together in an unlikely spot, to discover themselves, as well as each other.

Hmm

I liked the whole storyline. Overcoming adversity and finding love and your place in the world...but I felt the book was too long. I skimmed quite a few pages towards the end because I just wanted them to get their HEA without having to read about parties and people leaving.

I've had people (not on Smashbomb) say I talk a lot of nonsense (not this polite) about my review on Aladdin 2019. I tried to explain that I wrote what I thought. It's my opinion and as much as I like Will Smith, he just didn't play a good part as genie.

Perfect for people who enjoy mystery, drama and twists. (0 more)

This is a brilliant adaptation of the novel (Liane Moriarty). It has an incredible cast, I feel as though they portray the original characters very well. This by far one of my favourite shows, it's only bettered by Meryl Streep's character in season 2.

Rolling Stone's 408th greatest album of all time (457th in the 2020 list)

Interesting album, comprising thoughtful, slow songs like Nothing Compares 2 U to poppier songs. I feel it is a shame she is best known for the slower songs and a lot of people would have been put off listening further.
