Lint in Literature: A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

As I just typed that heading, I realized it makes perfect sense that there would be lint near a spool of blue thread. 

So, I finished A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler last week and like all of her novels, loved it. She is a pro at writing novels with great character development and tidbits of everyday life that are easy to read but that are also engaging.



Here's the lint excerpt from this novel:

The rug was linty, the floor was strewn with cast-off hangers and dry-cleaner's bags, and a hard gray light from the stripped windows gave the room a bleak and uncared-for look. 

So, in this instance, lint isn't technically used, but linty is. I'll take it.

What are you reading lately? Have any good lint stories to share?
