Sometimes breathers are good. Especially when you’re reading something by Toni Morrison. What do you think of reading breaks from emotional books - or do you prefer to just power through? . . . . #vintagebooks #thebluesteye #tonimorrison #nobelprize #nobelprizeforliterature #pulitzerprize
How is everyone? I’ve been on blogging hiatus but certainly haven’t stopped reading. Poirot’s been pretty busy figuring out how an up and rising impersonator unwittingly plays a role in a murder. This 1965 vintage copy was bought in a secondhand store in Toronto. Smell of old paper is lovely! . . . #agathachristie #herculepoirot #poirot #vintagebooks #13atdinner #agathachristiebooks #agathachristiespoirot
Jumping back on the #Friday56 & #BookBeginnings wagon with one of the most pretty minimalist books I have. Lemonade Revealed by Will Chluho is a tale of a young boy who is washed up on the shores of a strange island, which seems to be somewhere in Asia. He comes under the care of three of the most influential people of the island: a priest, a warrior, and a trader. The young boy discovers he is suffering from amnesia. He goes on a quest to find out. He becomes totally befuddled by the politicking on the island, with each of his mentors alternately warning him to be careful of the other mentors. With clues from here and there, making the acquaintance of the feared skinhead who purportedly eats bats and falling in love to boot, he pieces together what happened to him and discovers his true identity. Flip through to see snippets. Visit my blog for my review: http://guiltlessreading.blogspot.ca/2014/07/lemonade-revealed-by-will-chluho.html
I've sort of been taking a break online and I am finding myself not really missing blogging. I also just finished White Teeth by Zadie Smith (a leisurely month and a half reading!) and can't wait to read more ... she has such a funny way of presenting serious stuff. Now am going to reread One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. I still remember Jack Nicholson's amazing performance in the film and will see if it's somewhere online. Have you read this? Scroll thru for that jolting opener and some snippets. . . . . #Friday56 #BookBeginnings #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest #vintagebook #vintagebooks #kenkesey #thrifted #thriftedbooks #thriftedbook

Peachy keen! David Chang's Momofuku makes me smile... and hungry. I'm hankering to go back to his resto and have some ramen 🍜. In the meantime, we'll try recreating his recipes. . . . Gawd the peaches 🍑 here are gorgeous. Yum. Nothing compares to fruit in season. . . . . #momofuku #davidchang #recipebook #recipes @davidchang #peaches #freshpeaches #niagrapeaches
