I realize that like all of my posts are just updates on what I'm reading but whatever. I picked up Lauren Groff's Fates & Furies yesterday and am already ... surprisingly halfway through it. As the slowest reader in the world this is really wild.
I really unashamedly was interested in it because of all the hype it got a few years ago and also because Barrack Obama said it was his favorite book of 2015 - which surprised me knowing the genre/plot/etc. Anyways I think its quite good.
Also learned that Groff writes characters and certain moments with color palettes in mind that lead her to make certain decisions tonally and whatnot which I found interesting. Like synesthesia. Literary synesthesia!!!!!
Anybody else read this before? Lmk.

Peter, I read Fates and Furies earlier this year and thought it was phenomenal. And then I saw Lauren Groff on the Red Line, and wanted to gush, but I decided to leave her alone instead.
