bookshelves: favorites
Childhood illustrated in its maximum sacredness. Every feeling under the sun made huge but never overwrought. Followup novels share its virtuosity, but lack the simple and profound arc we're treated to here in only 300 pages. ]]> Review6891206065 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 00:20:27 -0700 /review/show/6891206065 Joshua gave 3 stars to White Nights (Hardcover) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The ending is funny as hell, but swallow your pride and accept your strange blessing. ]]> Review6902300514 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 19:25:05 -0700 /review/show/6902300514 Joshua gave 1 star to Coraline (Hardcover) by Neil Gaiman
Well, it's better than Spirited Away, but Coraline is no Alice. Will anyone at a young age temporarily base their personality on her? Unlikely. ]]> Review6902260732 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 19:12:34 -0700 /review/show/6902260732 Joshua gave 4 stars to The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Paperback) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dips into the moralistic realm of A Christmas Carol, exudes the foul odor of 'punishment fiction', but less so here in that the revelation isn't overshadowed by its manner of deliverance. Belief in salvation still eludes me, but my heart wishes me to read of it. ]]> ReadStatus8469788865 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 16:37:38 -0700 /review/show/6891209305 Joshua has read Bobok by Fyodor Dostoevsky
