Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
Back when I read this the first time, I obviously thiught it was just okay or had a problem with something due to me having rated it 3 stars.
well I have to tell you on this 2nd read.....I'm DNFing.
I made it through alot of crap that would make me chuck a different book out the window, just telling myself that of course you have to give this book context of the time period.
you can't judge a person completely on things they say in the 1940s by the standards of 2024. I mean, ya can judge them but .....what was socially acceptable was different and gives context.
So I kept on though the bigotry and the utter superiority of these british assholes was sooo rampant because again, can't fully judge due to tome period.
Guys. when she recounted a frustrating experience with a hired hand, and that her husband in response said he "now sees why Armenians were massacred ", I put this fucking book down.
Yeah no, that my friends is my fucking limit. Thinking you're better than someone due to culture. language, etc is bad. But justifying massacre and then treating it like a funny little anecdote in your stupid memoir?
Nope. Fuck that.
