Robert BreenAngle of Repose by Wallace Stegner ★★★★☆
Two timelines, one quietly devastating story. Stegner tested my patience across 500 pages, then rewarded it with a spectacular ending. This Pulitzer winner might just be his most enduring.

Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner - Robert Breen 📚

His wisdom is simple to understand, yet difficult to practice in a world of popular opinion and distracted thinking. Trust your […]

Bryan L. FordhamAfter about 6 weeks off, @chapterbychapter returns tomorrow with a serialization of Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley.
As I've said before*, she doesn't get enough credit for her impact on science fiction. Odd that a story written by a young woman (published at 20) would be overlooked 🤔
Anyway, follow chapter bot to get a chapter a day, Victorian-Netflix style.

Just saw something stating that the “father of science fiction,” H.G. Wells was born OTD in 1866. I just want to point out that he was born a full 15 years after Mary Shelly died. Not to downplay his importance and influence. But Frankenstein preceded The Time Machine by 77 years. #literature #classiit #publicdomain
