"I'm reading this on my iPad, a very very cheap ebook edition of the whole of Rosy Crucifixion, which is formatted very strangely... anyways.
Listen, I'm a Henry Miller girl. I have no idea what it is, but my favorite books always have the most deranged and gross and unhinged male characters. The fact that this is semi-autobiographical... oh man. So far I'm usually enraptured. Sometimes I get bored. It is what it is" — Dec 15, 2023 01:20AM

"I started reading this a couple years ago, and was snapping my fingers like "this is such a banger Aurelius is spitting facts!" but now I catch myself STILL thinking 10 pages later about the line "...in which pleasure predominates, indicates a more self indulgent and -womanish- disposition."
I'm not one to usually lose my cool on such sentences but... aiiii! It will not leave my brain. tsk tsk. Grain of salt." — Dec 15, 2023 01:14AM

"I love Nabokov's writing style, but something about this book I'm finding it extremely difficult to follow. The sentences are long, there's name drop after name drop, and references to thing I don't know.
But I'm only 12 pages in, I'm patient." — Dec 15, 2023 01:03AM
