I’m reading The #RulesofCivility by #AmorTowles As in #AGentlemaninMoscow, Towles is taking me on a grand tour, this time of 1938 New York and the upper echelons of the wealthy. And, like #AGentlemaninMoscow, he provides exquisite descriptions of the food served in luxury hotels: “The asparagus arrived with a touch of fanfare, presented tableside in a small copper pan. The individual spears were arranged in perfect order—each identical in length, no two overlapping. On top had been delicately scattered a mixture of buttered bread crumbs and fontina cheese which had been broiled to a crunchy, bubbling brown. The captain served the asparagus with a silver fork and spoon. Then he grated a touch of lemon peel over the plate.—Bon appétit.” #civility #classconsciousness #books #reading #food

@Jedigirl After years and then months of delay, I finally picked up and read A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. I can’t explain why I kept putting it aside , except that the timing wasn’t right for me. Now I finished it and am really in awe at the genius of this book. Once I started, I could not put it down. The ending shocked me at first, but as I thought about it, I realized it was the only ending that made any sense and kept faith with the Gentleman. Now I have to read it again so I can gather all the clues that lead to the only ending possible. Absolutely brilliant book.

So the couple with "the decidedly Scandinavian accents" were Finnish, huh? Finland Sweden to the rescue, Mr. Towles. #AGentlemanInMoscow

@Frohmann Bitte verzeihen Sie mein Deutsch. A Gentleman in Moscow von Amor Towles ist mein aktueller Favorit und einer, zu dem ich oft zurückkehre.
