You know when you reread a book and the main character is doing something awful and you just wish she would do something different than what you know she is going to do? Well, that was me rereading #EdithWharton's #HouseOfMirth. To riff on the end of #Melville's #Bartleby: Ah Lily!, Ah humanity!

Just as good, devastating, and heartbreaking the 6th (give or take) time around.

@pcarlson001. I haven't read that one but it's on my TBR pile! Enjoy.
I'm finishing a reread of #HouseOfMirth. Such an amazing novel though Anticipating a deep week-end depression!

@MargaretSefton. I'm reading it with a student who is writing a senior thesis on novels about #NYC. The narrator reminded me of #HumbertHumbert; the plot reminded me of #Wharton's #HouseOfMirth (which is actually referenced by Oshfegh, and so I'm rereading that now -- God, what an amazing book!); and some DonDeLillo, too!

@ninsiana0 @bookstodon. I just finished #OttessaMoshfegh's #MyYearOfRestAndRelaxation. Since #HouseOfMirth is mentioned in it, and I've been wanting to reread it, I'm going to go with #EdithWharton (though many wonderful people with whom I engage on #Mastodon have recommended a bunch of books that I need to get my hands on ASAP!).

#PercivalEverett is AMAZING, and The Trees is devastating. I thought Erasure was fabulous, and it's the book that the #movie #AmericanFiction is based on. I am doing a senior thesis with a student who is interested in #NYC novels so I need to read MYORAR (and reread #Wharton's #HouseOfMirth of course!). Did you like it?
