it was amazing

The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka

book cover


I’m personally interpreting this as a metaphor for sudden disability. The way Gregor is hindered in all of his tasks and has to get used to his new body. His family is ashamed of him and keep him locked in his room and they feel relieved when he dies. It’s honestly really sad.

The Devotion Of Suspect X
by Keigo Higashino

First in the series about a scientist/amateur crime solver. This is cat, cat & mouse between police detectives, three people who covered up an instance of manslaughter/murder, and the scientist who both helps the police and -in this case - has a sympathetic connection to one of the suspects. Page turner!

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

I listened to this audiobook on Spotify after seeing universal praise for this debut epistolary novel. I thought this story of aging Sybil Van Antwerp was engaging and diverse, covering all aspects of her life and varied interactions with others. The narration was great. I can see the appeal of the tender, painful tale.
