True Grit by Charles Portis 4.5 stars #8 of 2022 . Mattie Ross proves herself quite quickly to be a most charmingly blunt, if often naive, narrator in this remarkable little western. Plot aside. I think what’s most important about the novel is the fact that it actually sounds like it’s written by a 14yr old which adds a lovely authenticity, as opposed to most novels with a teenaged protagonist that read like they were written by a 40yr old English Major with access to a thesaurus. . #truegrit #charlesportis #mattieross #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2022 #booksivedrawnin2022 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CdkiXd7hhrs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was learning more about her day by day. She had a heavy tread for such a small person, coming down harder on her heels than I would have liked. Floor joists creaked under her step. I would come to recognize it at a distance, that smart little step, if I went blind, and take comfort in it, knowing my soup was on the way.

I bought some crackers and a piece of hoop cheese and an apple at a grocery store and sat on a nail keg by the stove and had a cheap yet nourishing lunch. You know what they say, "Enough is as good as a feast.

I told myself today (Tues) I need to finally put TRUE GRIT on the summer reading list. Then, I checked Twitter to find out author Charles Portis died yesterday (Mon). RIP
