Glad you liked What I Loved ! I thought it was marvellous. Just the sort of dense book I love.

Bonnie- I just received a copy of What I Loved recently, after much LT praise. I'm glad you liked it!
I finished What I Loved today instead of cleaning house and getting ready for Thanksgiving and traveling. At first, I was put off by the narrator's tone, it was a bit distant and somewhat flat (and he was an old guy!) plus some of the discussions about art made me feel dumb, but this story about ...

Hi Berly, I do recommend What I Loved with the proviso that it is a very dense read. Which is precisely the sort of book I do like. I have no objections with reading with a browser pointed to Wikipedia and my dictionary by my side. (Yay for a mobile phone with a web browser!)

Hey Wookie! I like the sound of What I Loved . Thanks for posting your reads. :)
I finished What I Loved last night, which feels like an accomplishment, hanging in with it! It got quite interesting after the first part, but it seemed waaayy too long and too much information as telling rather than seeing. Not my favorite by any means, but I'm glad I finished it.

60. What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt (3.5/5)
... Obviously you haven't gotten to the "no reading" week of the Artist's Way. It's a killer.
I'm really struggling with What I Loved - 100+ pages into it and I'm not attached to any of the characters and there's no plot, just pretentious artsy New Yorkers. I may give up on this one. Someone ...
I'm reading What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt and struggling with it a bit -- partly feeling intimidated by it - the art world and all - and partly because it's not very plot driven. Will hang in there a bit more.

Having said that, I spent most of yesterday at work slightly shell-shocked after the end of Part 1 of What I Loved . It felt slightly wussy to be that emotionally involved in a book and fictional characters (I work with a lot of non-reading blokes), but, well, I was.

What I loved well I started out loving it and made it half way before I got thoroughly depressed by it and couldn't continue.

Also, how was A Plea for Eros? I thought What I loved was an astonishingly good novel... are her essays up to the same standard?
What i loved At Swim, Two Boys Trainspotting,Looking for the Possible Dance.
I got 4 titles into a sentence. It's a little dodgy, but I think it holds up.
What I loved has beautiful descriptions of (fictional) works of art. Also Notes from an exhibition (no touch stone) by Patrick Gale, which is very much about the difficulty of combining art and life.

8. Notes from an exhibition by Patrick Gale. Wonderful book, it reminded me of What I loved in the writing, the compassion with which the author descibes his characters and also the theme of art and life and how they are sometimes hard to combine.
This month I have read The glass bead game, The color, and What I loved . I am now going to read War and Peace - wish me luck
#247 - I loved What I loved and just recently finished it - I would recommend it.
I am now reading The glass bead game by Herman Hesse and dont know what I think - Im only a hundered pages in.
I finished What I loved and loved the book - but I have to wonder - do people like these characters actually exist in real life - I would love to be in their world.
