Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In Rome for a few months, any libraries I must visit? (Potentially with a selection of books in English, as I do not speak Italian.) Any other recommendations welcome!! #Booksky #literature 160
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My next read was Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman. I liked its take on the banality of big corporate day-to-day operations, politics and decisions. Also it being an Obama reading pick, makes me wonder, is there an irony here I’m missing. #Booksky #literature #fiction 080
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The next read was A Way of Life, Like Any Other by Darcy O’Brien. The descriptions of golden age Hollywood were vivid, but one thing that kept coming to my mind is “downward mobility” and what it means for those coming after us to have it worse economically. #booksky #literature #fiction 051
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Wake up, Sir! by Jonathan Ames had its moments, but for a book described as hilarious, it was pretty grim, especially the end. Also I totally missed that a main character was just a fragment of another character’s imagination. Overall a good read. #booksky #literature 030
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I consider myself to be a slow reader, so to finish this in one day was something for me. The King of Fools by Frédéric Dard was a page turner that I haven’t experienced in a while. #booksky #literature #fiction 060
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Not sure if a thing such as a “reader’s block” exists, but in the past two months I couldn’t summon the energy to do reading. Glad to have put an end to that with Slovej Balle’s book 4 of her series On the Calculation of Volume. #booksky #literature #fiction 2120
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Aaand continuing with the next book right away, my first non-fiction in a while: Søren Mau's Mute Compulsion. I'm reading this with a potential mission: writing a paper for a business economics course I'm attending at university, if I can find the right angle for it. #Booksky #Nonfiction #Marx 080
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Finished Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country and I liked it, despite it not being the type of novel I usually read. My first instinct was to say that there was not enough character development. But upon more reflection, I ended up thinking why should there be? (1/2) #Booksky #Literature #Fiction 141
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 04/04/2026The next reading is Yasunari Kawabata’s Snow Country. It’s been sitting on my shelf for at least 4 years. I used to have this habit of not buying new books unless I read the ones I already had. Somehow I realized that’s a nonsense rule. Books don’t have expiration dates! #Booksky #Literature 040
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I've been thinking about sharing few of my thoughts about the books I finish reading, and I feel like Long Live the Post Horn! is a great one to start with. First, I loved the inside cover closeup of a mail sorting shelf, which I hadn't noticed until I started reading the book last week. (1/3) 120
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Excited to go back to my reading spree after a short pause to focus on exams. I’ve come across Vigdis Hjorth’ @versobooks.bsky.social publications before, but this is the first one of her books that I’m reading. #Booksky #Literature #Fiction 0101
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 19/03/2026After a short break, back to reading Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico. I was captivated by the description of the book, but I don’t know exactly what to expect. Also off topic, but I wish Fitzcarraldo’s font were a tiny little bit bigger. #Booksky #Literature #Fiction 050
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 13/03/2026The trove of books I just received. Probably won’t get around to reading them in a few months, but I’m excited to eventually read them. #Booksky #Literature #Fiction 060
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Getting started with this one. First read 1984 when I was in university and I loved it. I have high hopes for this one too. #booksky #fiction #literature 180
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Reading this book gives me a sense of nostalgia of something I never lived through. It also makes me want to quit my job and open a café. #booksky #fiction #literature 010
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 09/02/20264th book so far this year, and I’m enjoying it so far (also it is breaking my heart in the context of what is happening) #booksky 060
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 26/12/2025As the 2025 draws to an end, I’d like to share with you the books I’ve read this year. #books #fiction #booksky #literature 030
Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 28/09/2025I watched Sinners last night and the part where Sammie is singing and the spirits of the past and the future show up is probably one of the best scenes I’ve seen in years. 010

Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I believe that this part from Susan Sontag’s introduction in The Case of Comrade Tulayev by Victor Serge perfectly describes why some current Trump supporters, especially those most hurt by his policies, stubbornly refuse to accept the seek the truth. 120

Ennis @mini-e.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Reading Anna Burns is such an infuriating experience. Yet, I know that by the end I’ll feel a satisfaction I won’t be able to explain. 030
