Mauro Sala (salamaro) | 35 comments Finished Conversazione in Sicilia - one of the best books I ever read - I've immediately started with Frankissstein: A Love Story by Jeanette Winterson. It is a weird book but, for the moment, I am definitely enjoying it.

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison--dystopia about overpopulation, written in 1966 and set in 1999.

I would love to read Frankissstein: A Love Story some day!

Bill | 464 comments I was fortunate to get a copy of Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes by Evan J. Corbin while it was offered here. I'm starting it now.

Mauro Sala (salamaro) | 35 comments I've finished Frankissstein: A Love Story which started pretty well and then it kind of derailed. The bits about Mary Shelley are far superior than the parts that take place in our times, in my opinion.
Next: The Weird and the Eerie

Asher (asherahl) | 1 comments Just finished The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern and Piranesi by Susanne Clarke! Loved the LGBT aspect of The Starless Sea and the mystical realm of Piranesi. Would recommend both of these novels if you haven’t read them already. Though, they’re not a typical queer read!

Mauro Sala (salamaro) | 35 comments I've finished the terrific essay The Weird and the Eerie by Mark Fisher and I have immediately started with La città dei vivi by Nicola Lagioia. It is a mix of reportage and novel (not dissimilar from Truman Capote's In Cold Blood) about an horrendous homicide that happened in Rome in 2016 (the Varani murder).

Mauro Sala (salamaro) | 35 comments I've just finished La città dei vivi and it was an incredible and haunting reading.
Now I'll probably pick one between Il nome della rosa or Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, two classics of the Italian literature that I have never read.

That was fun, but I think I enjoyed Dark Matter a bit more.

I'm 60% through, Rick. Dark Matter has the edge so far. But we'll see ... :-)
