In reply to Heather. Agreed. By the end, I was grossed out and not in a thought-provoking way!

In reply to susan. It was a fantastic experience, even if the results have only more clearly highlighted how broken America is. I'm actually thinking I need to read more. Too much time spent at the computer being unproductive and doom scrolling!

I’m so glad to see you had a similar experience with Earthlings, I loved Convenience Store Woman too but the further I got in to Earthlings the crazier it got. It made me really uncomfortable.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. Homeland Elegies is really sharp and thought-provoking.

Unlike you I didn’t care for Convenience Store Woman, so glad I didn’t even bother with Earthlings. Sorry it didn’t hold up for you. I’m glad I checked out this post because it reminded me to put a hold on Homeland Elegies. Thanks!

It’s good you are volunteering as a ballot counter. Thank you for doing so! I’m pretty much a wreck for the past week … but I’m holding out hope … like there’s no tomorrow … because well you know … there’s no alternative. We can’t give in … to bigots & idiots & non-science believers, NO! My sister-in-law in Michigan was sorry to miss seeing Obama & Biden who made a surprise visit to her Unitarian church over the wknd. Oh MY. she is still talking about it … but she saw Doug Emhoff the next day.
Glad you vetted White Ivy for me … I just put that on my Nov. Preview post / TBR list. Also had Homeland Elegy on my Sept. Preview … so thanks for vetting that one too. You read a lot … but I think I let my distractions get to me … hmm
