"I finish nothing, because I have no time and there's so much pressure in me. If the whole day were free and this morning restlessness could rise in me by noon and tire itself out by evening then I could sleep. As it is, however, there remains for this restlessness only a twilight hour at most, it grows somewhat stronger, is then suppressed and uselessly and harmfully digs up the night for me." so relatable

finalmente posso riprendere la lettura di questo romanzo che, noto con gioia, crea sempre una bellissima atmosfera: "Il caffè s’era riempito di gente e di fumo; c’era una tavolata di rifugiati tedeschi che seguiva attentamente una partita di scacchi; al tavolo accanto una specie di pazza, che si credeva una prostituta, sola davanti a un caffelatte, faceva la vezzosa con un interlocutore invisibile."

i dialoghi in questo libro sono elettrizzanti

"At last I have the word ‘stigmatize’ and the sentence that goes with it, but still hold everything in my mouth with a feeling of disgust and shame as if it were raw meat, cut out of my own flesh (so much effort has it cost me)"

“The boy's skin was torn apart by the heavy rain of blades. With each passing second, the sharp blades would hack at his body, ripping off more skin and flesh, causing thick blood to spatter everywhere". “His bones began to show through his mutilated body [...] It was as though the sharp blades were intentionally avoiding striking any vital areas, as if they were slowly torturing him. Slowly peeling him alive". DAMN

devo dire che, superata la "diffidenza" iniziale, questo libro mi ha proprio catturato: ho letto più di 60 pagine solo oggi, cosa che non accade spesso !

contro la mia volontà purtroppo devo ufficialmente metterlo in pausa per concentrarmi sull'università

montale, a noi due ! finalmente

"The little girl's body had been ruined into a grotesque mess. Torn patches of clothing were entangled with splattered flesh and limb, dully glistening with the thick blood that once trickled from the exposed organs and bone that remained of her body, leaving the entire floor smeared in residues of foul human tissue and skin." DAMN i didn't know the horror in this book went this hard

just found out that the library in the city i'm moving to for my master's has a "bibliography of narrative texts on homosexual themes" and a "lesbian existence in society, imagination, and literature" bibliography on their website... something tells me i'm going to add loads of books to my tbr today

"Non c'è niente che sappia di morte più del sole d'estate, della gran luce, della natura esuberante. Tu fiuti l'aria e senti il bosco, e ti accorgi che piante e bestie se ne infischiano di te. Tutto vive e si macera in se stesso. La natura è la morte."

cried all my tears, i'm dehydrated

I HATE YOU SUZANNE COLLINS

"My happiness, my abilities and any possibility of being in some way useful have always been in the literary realm." "If I have written something good one evening, I am aflame the next day in the office and can accomplish nothing." so honored to have the opportunity to get to know kafka on such an intimate level... he's a really interesting writer to learn more about

no one writes found family and impending doom like mary shelley

suzanne collins never misses
