So far, gothic, psychological, with a very compressed atmosphere. Love the movie and am happy to finally read the book.
My first formal steps into Bayesian stats. Following along with the 2026 course.
As difficult as everyone says it is. Rewarding at parts.
A biting criticism of aristocracy with a rotating cast of characters. Feels modern for sure.
Required reading to understand the continued failure of reconstruction.
An absolute surprise. Hard-hitting noir. Stunning with excellent writing.
More difficult than anticipated, and less cutting, but still happy to have read it.
Not as polished as Stoner, but the writing is still tight. Good subversion of Western masculinity & domination narratives.
Interesting narrative. Understand the buzz for sure.
So much better than the movie. Psychological, tightly written, & thrilling.
Winding, complex, a little uneven, but totally amazing.
Happy to have read it but it didn’t hit like I expected.
Funny, Unusual, Weird, and so Gay. Uniquely American.
Finally had a chance to read it. Fun for sure.
Pretty fanatical about the movie. Happy to have finally read the book.
Excellent gift, excellent book.
Always loved Steinbeck and happy to have finished this classic. Powerful all the way through.
