I’m a day or two behind, catching up today!

"The world was in such a state of flux that such inanities were only to be expected in one quarter or another" (196).
We know the feeling today.

I see that Spring isn’t sectioned into short vignettes like Winter. Which way was Autumn? #KnausgaardTogetherTheSeasons

#AnthonyPowellTogether I appreciate the odd French phrase we get in Powell - a good supplement to my DuoLingo. I was hoping there would be even more French coming up, but with Jenkins’ failure to get the job, it appears we are headed in a different direction.

Excited for book 2! (I missed autumn with y’all, but will do it after we finish!)

We will start the “Spring” volume of KOK’s “Season’s Quartet” on March 1. So it’s time to get your copy if you don’t yet have it.
If you haven’t been reading with us, join in!

#Anthonypowelltogether Moreland’s awkwardness and inability to face strife w/out Nick’s backup: “He was a person not well equipped to deal with human troubles.”

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons I never got my copy of Autumn, but I’d like to join the read at Winter. How far out are y’all from that?

Book Twitter folks, I’ve migrated over here - “X” was getting borderline unusable. I’ll make an effort to start posting to group reads such as #anthonypowelltogether again. I’m still keeping pace!
