Dionysus in Wisconsin by E.H. Lupton
5.0
My loan for this is going to expire before I finish it, because I did not want it to be over so soon so I only read bits every day or so. Now it's due and there's a gigantic wait list and I'm seventy percent in. Am I going to just let it expire tomorrow morning and place a hold again like a reasonable person?
No. I have a Dionysus playlist queued up. It's one of those books that has you actually holding your breath at least once. There were phrases that I had to speak aloud because they were so gorgeous I wanted to feel the weight and shape of them for myself. I speak as little as possible when not with my immediate family, even with myself sometimes. It felt meaningful.
70% in and I can't imagine what the author could do to make me feel anything other than unrepentant adoration of this book. I gripe about the wait list, but really I'll probably buy it either way, and the audiobook someday too (I hope?).
Frick. Just used an hour of my remaining loan time slow typing this.
