A Guide to Personalising Books *grangerising*
- I don't know that I would invest the time into doing it if it weren't a book I was planning on picking up again. So the book that I'm going to be using as an example today is this absolutely marvellous book Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood which is in my top three books of all time which is really saying something. I think it's absolutely exceptional. It's about this middle-aged woman who returns to Toronto where she grew up and she's reflecting on her childhood specifically an abusive friendship with a girl Cordelia and it's just so excellently done. I love how it plays with time and nostalgia. It's so so so clever in terms of rejecting and surpassing the Bildungsroman narrative structure. So let's go think through some ways that you can actually grangerise your books. Wow that's dusty. It's a little colder down here so I've had to put on a cardigan and I've got a hot cup of Earl Grey rooibos tea. But anyway I'm going to talk through how I plan to grangerise each of these books.
