Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's take a Spoiler-Free attempt at describing "Pale Fire" by Vladimir Nabokov. Just referring to this as Post-Modernism really fails to capture everything this book accomplishes! It was listed in Modern Library's Top 100 Books and Larry McCaffery's Top Book of all time.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We are looking at the Fab Four Book Tag today by  @Tom LA Books   Tom La Books Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhMwepFp9DQ 1.“I just fell out of bed, found out what key I had dreamed it in… and I played it”, Paul McCartney (about “Yesterday”).   A book that you dreamed about or that inspired one of your dreams.  2.“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, John Lennon   A book that talks about drugs or that was written under the influence of drugs. 3.“We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool”, Ringo Starr.   A book about someone who had far more success than what they expected, or a book that was much more successful than what the author expected. 4.“Sitting on a cornflake / waiting for the van to come”, John Lennon.  A surreal book (or a book with some surreal elements) that you enjoyed.  5. The White Album.  A book you loved that:  a. has a minimalist cover, or b. is written in a minimalist style.  6. "Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter / Here comes the sun”, George Harrison.   A book of poetry that you found uplifting. 7. A day in the life. An experimental book that’s very uncommon for its content or format, and yet it works well. 8. "Over half of Americans who are 45 and older attribute the Beatles’ split to Yoko Ono". A book about a woman (or, if you can’t think of one, a man) who is unjustly blamed or accused of something.  9.“Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns / And calls me on and on across the universe “, John Lennon.    A book that opened your mind and made you think of the universe in a new way, either physically or spiritually. 10. “Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be”, Paul McCartney.  A book that you found very powerful and moving despite its apparent simplicity. ✨Do you have a Short Story or Novel you'd think we'd like or would want to see us cover?
