I'm a GoodReads user testing new waters after the serious website changes. I mostly read fiction, usually Anglophone classics/ modern classics; I like nonfiction (mostly social and cultural history), good fantasy and graphic novels. For guilty pleasure, I read advice and how-to books.
I made at least two reading resolutions recently; 1. read less, live more; 2. read books which give me more pleasure. I have poor filters, and books I find stylistically pleasing tend to be depressing, so I need to do something about that; if you think you know a book that is very well written, but won't make me weep, please drop me a line.

This was probably the first book on my to-read list I have added. It is enormously good, and then suddenly stops being that enormously good-I've read the three endings, and have issues with each. Still, it is outstandingly well constructed - the situation is built out of several equally serious conflicts, in a way I find as rare as it is balanced.Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?
