Carissa Green Reads
I read widely from many genres. Perhaps this blog will feature fewer ratings and reviews, but I certainly intend to write about my reading life - it's the subject I most find myself wanting to talk about.
Currently reading
D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of WWII
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad
The Path Between the Seas
Chekhov Four Plays
The Gay Science: with a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs
A Kierkegaard Anthology
Lost in a Book
Sometimes I sit down to read a book, start to finish, or as close as possible, and get totally lost in the narrative. Seven and a half hours go by, like today, and I'm completely in another world.
Time has passed. The light has changed. I'm fatigued, a little bit queasy, perhaps. Under-hydrated. Uneasy because things have happened in the world while I was completely oblivious to the world even being there.
It's a great, great feeling.
Thanks, Gillian Flynn. "Dark Places" was one of those books.
