Readers share their experiences and expectations of notable literary works. Susannah Frankel reflects on reading Ulysses in honor of her mother. George Pistachio expresses caution towards Charlie Porter's novel Nova Scotia House, intrigued by its themes of love and loss after hearing a friend's intense reaction to it. Rebecca Perlmutar revisits Tolstoy with Anna Karenina, hoping for a more accessible experience than War and Peace. Overall, these reflections reveal the personal connections and anticipations shaped by literature.
"I'm reading Ulysses, which is my mother's favourite book. She's been studying it for years, so in her honour, I feel I have to find my way through it."
"This is Charlie Porter 's first foray into fiction, a novel described as achingly delicate, a study of love and loss."
