Status Updates From Libro del desasosiego

I have realized, as much as I feel deeply comforted by this book that I need to take it slower. As fragmented this book is, it is also designed to be absorbed in fragments too such that it can spread its work over more time and perspective. So far my favorite frags.: 1,3,20,31,40,51,53,58,73,78,87,90,91

The ramblings of a pessimistic viewpoint do showcase just how to enjoy the comfort of one’s own misery. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a thing or two on “finding simplicity in life.”

What a fantastic introduction by Richard Zenith! Truly the only time I have throughly appreciated an intro, straight away enveloping, he seems to give this book a bracket to contain its vastness.
I feel when I read Pessoa I feel a little less lonely, at this very lonely stage of my life

Every sentence in this book manages to be quote-worthy. And it’s so rare I see myself in a character but it feels like the narrator thought what I think, with the only difference being his ability to put his thoughts into the right words. Formidable is the lightest way to describe this 😅
