What do you Kindle users have as font settings? I use the second smallest with Bookerly and am even considering going to the smallest. That or using the very left 'spacing'.
Give me some well-written Westerns. I read The Son by Philipp Meyer recently and was quite impressed.
Pls no McCarthy.
I like audiobooks, but I can't listen to anything with any real literary merit. If I lose focus for just a few seconds, or even just try to pause and take something in, then I'm already behind the flow of the narrator and have to rewind to appreciate the prose properly. It's just impossible for me to properly enjoy a good piece of literature like that. So when I listen to audiobooks I prefer things like A Song of Ice and Fire - escapist books with good plots and characters, but no real literary value.
I'm writing an article analysis essay and I'm having a hard time not beginning every sentence in the summary with "she".
For example:
"Faruqi begins her article with personal stories in order to draw the readers interest. She tries to appeal to the emotions of the reader by describing the horrible living conditions of the animals she saw in factory farms. She talks about her travels to animal farms across the world and the conversations she had with the workers, owners, and executives of the farms. She mentions the unequal representation of women in the agriculture industry, speaking of her own experiences and referencing statistics. She believes that this gender inequality plays an important role in how the industry operates."
Any tips on how I could word it better?

Just something like:
>"Faruqi begins her article with personal stories in order to draw the readers interest. She tries to appeal to the emotions of the reader by describing the horrible living conditions of the animals she saw in factory farms. The author writes about her travels to animal farms across the world and the conversations she had with the workers, owners, and executives of the farms. The article touches on the unequal representation of women in the agriculture industry, with reference to Faruqi's own experiences and statistical evidence. She believes that this gender inequality plays an important role in how the industry operates."

How does one take notes while reading fiction? Also, when reading Pynchon, should I read the entire book through once, then read it again while closely inspecting?
Is it normal to read Ulysses and not being exactly sure of what's actually happening? Sometimes I get so distracted by the prose I get lost of what's going on.
