A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood

Written after my second read:
This is really excellent. What struck me most the second time I read this was how funny this book is at times. George's observations during class were hilarious, and I suppose what I like about his way of thinking is how similar it is to mine (this is not to say that the content is the same, just the structure) - this seems to validate one's own way of thinking, being, because one is not the only one, one is not that different.

Oh, my heart. What a stunning book - it pulled me right in, right away. The flow of language is just breathtaking and there were so many passages that stood out. And the mood that's created in it - there's so much sadness and at the same time joy. And there are these "snapshots" that really aren't more than that, just a few sentences, but those scenes are more vivid than what other authors manage with pages of description. A book that made my life richer, without a doubt.
And now I really can't wait for the movie.
