  2. So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

    Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

  3. At the store and came across a pretty discounted hardcover copy of "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. It is worth purchasing a physical copy? I usually try to stick to library books and purchase books I really like, but the library wait list is long and the price is tempting.

    About to travel and was looking for something good to read.

  4. Deserves a re-reading every once in a while. All still true. Barbara Kingsolver's speech at the 2008 Duke University commencement, which she concluded with her poem "Hope; An Owner's Manual." today.duke.edu/2008/05/kingsol

  5. #bookstodon #vendredilecture #books #mastolivre #livre "Demon Copperhead" de Barbara Kingsolver. Sort en français le 1er février sous le titre "On m'appelle Demon Copperhead".
    Un #PrixPulitzer mérité pour ce roman majestueux qui suit la vie d'un enfant pauvre dans un milieu rural aux Etats-Unis, jusqu'à la fin de l'adolescence et la crise des opioïdes. Un roman qui marque par son empathie, son humanité et son style – la voix du héros qui change au fil du temps #barbaraKingsolver #pulitzer

    I decided to take a deeper dive into Oliver Anthony and look at him as a musician. My honest take: there is a cultural miscommunication going on and I think it needs to be addressed. Also I like the guy.

  7. @bookstodon Does anyone else read aloud with their partner? My husband and I just started #DemonCopperhead by #BarbaraKingsolver who’s originally from rural Kentucky. I’ve been fortunate enough to live all over the world but I went to much of primary school in Louisville…and OMG does my accent come back when I read this book aloud. My husband is looking at me like I’m a completely different person! 😂

  8. Started reading the novel "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. I've read a couple of chapters and I'm loving the character's voice.

  9. my last winter break novel was DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. incredible novel.

    i am in total awe of how she captured the narrator's voice. what a read. #demoncopperhead #barbarakingsolver

  10. Do you ever read a book and go "NOOOO" when a character makes a heartbreakingly terrible decision that you wish they wouldn't? This has happened exactly twice in my 30+ years of voracious reading. Once with Vanity Fair (DOBBIN DON'T MARRY AMELIA YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR HER!) and again last night with #BarbaraKingsolver's #DemonCopperhead (no spoiler, but NOOOOO DEMON DON'T!)

    I never read David Copperfield in school, but dang this book, this is good.
