I am still reading Trauma, which I posted about on June 20. Now, I am about half way through.
It is good, but I am just spending too much time doing other stuff.

Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal
The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday.
It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement".
According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". |

I am currently reading Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. And "Not A Fan" by Kyle something or rather. What are you currently reading? Hey Fleurette, did you finish reading ‘Not a Fan’? And if so, did you enjoy it? I have this book but have not started reading. —-Flame |

Hi Flame,
I did enjoy that book but didn't finish it because it was due back at the library before I finished it.

It is doubtful whether any novel has been more important to America’s female writers than Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women.”
The book’s fans didn’t merely like it; it gave them a life, they said.
From Simone de Beauvoir to Stephenie Meyer, the world that Alcott created has been an inspiration for generations of female writers.
