Name a #book(s) that makes you feel:
Sad: #Mamaskatch by #DarrylMcLeod
Hopeful: #LoveLivesHere by #AmandaJetteKnox
Nostalgic: #ChroniclesOfNarnia by #CSLewis
Fearful or scared: #ParableOfTheTalents by #OctaviaButler
Bonus question: What book were you completely wrong about, meaning you thought you'd hate it, but gave it a chance & loved it?
ancient edition for late-night #ThrowBackThursday
sad: #TheEpicOfGilgamesh by the sumerians (lament for enkidu...ðŸ˜)
hopeful: #ChaereasAndCallirhoe by #Chariton of aphrodisias (happy ending!!!)
nostalgic: #PopolVuh by the k'iche' (not of my culture, but neither is anything else on this list - my dennis tedlock copy specifically is nostalgic because of the circumstances surrounding how i got it. family, complicated stuff, memories etc.)
fearful or scared: inanna's descent to the netherworld, by the sumerians again (they hung WHAT on a hook?)
bonus: #Satyricon by #TitusPetronius...it's almost entirely horrible and i did dislike most of it, but it contains a hilarious parody of the roman equivalent of the nouveau riche, and a strangely relatable bit where the protagonist is ineffectually enraged and gets his sword taken away. mood, buddy
