this but i’m reading a polish translation (that for some reason doesn’t exist on goodreads)
my polish reading level is so low😭😭😭i can’t read more than a couple pages at a time without getting a headache 😣

Rickie Elliot: little bitch boy

finished a room of one’s own

a room of one’s own:

“The Fascist poem, one may fear, will be a horrid little abortion such as one sees in a glass jar in the museum of some county town.”

Oh yeah ohhhh yeah

a room of one’s own:
“‘chloe liked olivia,’ i read. and then it struck me how immense a change was there. chloe liked olivia perhaps for the first time in literature. cleopatra did not like octavia.”

this is out of context but the entire section gave me chills this essay is genius. everyone ever should read it

“Women do not write books about men—a fact that I could not help welcome with relief, for if I had first to read all that men have written about women, then all that women have written about men, the aloe that flowers once in a hundred years would flower twice before I could set pen to paper.”

“In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and w them depart with such anguish, being shadows.”

‘Does History consist of the Biographies of Great Men?’

i really do like this book it's just taking me a million years to read
