The Librarianist Is A Good Read For Patrick deWitt Fans
Author Patrick de Witt with his latest best-seller, The Librarianist.
When I open a book with a boomer-aged main character, written by an author I have previously read and enjoyed, then chances are very good that I’m going to enjoy it. The Librarianist by Canadian-born author Patrick deWitt is such a book. I loved his earlier book French Exit. I read it a few years ago and can vouch for that book…

🎄 It's a bit late, but here's the rest of my #christmasbookhaul which just got delivered. I'm still waiting on an edition of Washington Black, which my mom accidentally preordered so that should be a nice surprise come spring. P.S. Has anyone else still got their tree up? 🎄 . . . . . #bookhaul #bookstagram #bookworm #igreads #bibliophile #bookish #vintagebooks #met_createchange #booksandbeans #culturetripbooks #bookstack #treasureisland #robertlouisstevenson #inthebazaaroflove #amīrkhusrau #patrickdewitt #frenchexit https://www.instagram.com/p/Bskosw2H6IT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tvbcugdckp36

Day one of #allthebooksapr22 is April TBR or Hopeful Reads. 📚 Last month I read 13 books, including all 5 from the TBR pile I posted at the start of the month. So I’m feeling good about getting through the pile here for this month too. 📚 #allthebooksapr22 #igbooks #readersofinstagram #instabooks #bookaddict #bookstagram #apriltbr #aprilhopefulreads #robbell #whatisthebible #patrickdewitt #frenchexit #tovejansson #moominvalleyinnovember #kazuoishiguro #nocturnes #peterenns #thesinofcertainty https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb1Tb-5gbfL/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt . At the heart of it, this is the lament of a man regretting the violence of his life and trying to escape it but seemingly unable to do so. A grimy Weatern, full of anger and despair, written in a sleek, sublime style. The more I sit and think on it, the more I love it. . #thesistersbrothers #patrickdewitt #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2020 #booksivedrawnin2020 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CGalfzZByzm/?igshid=oxpvsd0lt89f

It’s the start of another week - weekends go so fast! Today I’m sharing my book haul #2 from 66 book club which I had the pleasure to go to with @keeperofpages 📚I went a bit classic mad here and bought a few beautiful editions that were crying out to be owned and enjoyed. 📚 The Sisters Brothers is another one of my favourite books that I only had in Kindle format up until now so when I saw it, I practically snatched it off the shelves. 📚I’m also delighted to have found another Ira Levin book in the same edition as my previous three (also bought at 66 book club!) If you haven’t been or are visiting shortly, 66 Book Club really is a treat. I can’t wait for my next visit already! #bookstagram #bookworm #bookhaul #66bookclub #bargainbooks #iralevin #theboysfrombrazil #thesistersbrothers #patrickdewitt #themasterandmargarita #mikhailbulgakov #themidwichcuckoos #johnwyndham #theinvisibleman #hgwells #themetamorphosis #franzkafka #thewaroftheworlds #whataluckygirl https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jaReRAGGp/?igshid=1mlm1oq2os3y0

👍 not often I read fiction but I’m glad I read this one. I have rarely experienced the feeling of not wanting to put a book down but with this I could not stop reading. It’s gripping, funny, sad, and there was one paragraph that made me feel genuinely unwell #100pagerule #thesistersbrothers #patrickdewitt #western #bookstagram #book #reading #cowboy #theresasnakeinmyboot (at The Wild West) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XdHF6nAQd/?igshid=17882dbr3lwir

"'Only the finest orange for you, madame,' he said. 'The finest the most delectable orange in this sack? That is the orange or received on this day, for you are my guest, the mysterious, the beautiful woman in the window.' located the winning orange and peeled it on her behalf. 'Hold out your hand,' he instructed, and she did, and he laid the sphere in the dell of her palm. Gravely, he asked, 'May I have some of your orange, please, madam?' they shared the orange. It was a pleasant moment for the both of them, and they were happy to've met." . . . . . #frenchexit #patrickdewitt #canadianlit #bookstagram #catsinbooks #orange #foodinbooks #bibliophile #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4Ml-5nOs6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a8og7s1hsvml

This book is tripping me out! I’ve never read anything written entirely in the second person… With the constant use of “you”, I think I’m starting to have an identity crisis. And can we talk about the debauchery?! I’m also wondering who is this narrator. Seriously, this book is the weirdest trip I’ve ever been on. #PatrickdeWitt #wtf #lol

On the way to a conference in Birmingham it’s a great opportunity to get lots of reading done on the train! I’ve been meaning to read this book for a long time after loving The Sisters Brothers. Nearly halfway through and so far, so good! #bookstagram #bookworm #readingonthetrain #makingthemostofthejourney #undermajordomominor #patrickdewitt #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B2tH-Hag5jm/?igshid=otdmhm27jnsa
