[ExWhoDoesntCare]

15. I'm dual-reading

Main Street by Sinclair Lewis and Chang-Rae Lee's On Such a Full Sea. The dual read is because, to me, both draaaggggg along from the oblique way of telling the story. Makes me sleepy.

The narrative device of On Such a Full Sea is especially annoying. Same type from Victorian novels like Wuthering Heights with someone yammering about third parties like a gossipmonger. While Emily Brontë had mad writing skillz to compensate for the annoying narrative choice, this book...not so much.

If I can drag myself over the finish line with those two without dying of boredom, then I'm hoping to get to Butterfly Yellow by Thanhhà Lại and Sing Unburied Sing by Jessmyn Ward.
