"On page 66, Do I not have a plot to my life? for I am unexpectedly fragmentary. I am piecemeal. My story is living. And I have no fear of failure. Let failure annihilate me, I want the glory of falling. My crippled angel who contorts all elusive, my angel who fell from heavens to the hell where he lives savouring evil." — 21 hours, 32 min ago

"On page 279, ‘Exile—is fascinating to think about, but terrible to experience—a sundering from geography, history, self—violence—evolved—endured—a drone account of the human condition—this is what the ruling language, which now surrounds us, is like. A culture ‘which has no faith in any future—pretends the past is obsolete’. At a moment like this, there is value in letter-writing—In an era of instantaneity, it is—an act of faith’" — 5 minutes ago

"On page 82, I would never have picked this up but this was the last author my mother got really into before she died, and she recommended it a number of times. I had a bit of a barrier up when I started reading, but it is funny even if it feels irreverent. I will just try to go with it." — May 30, 2026 11:30PM
