logging this purely for the sake of logging books i read. this is just job prep tho

this is so fucking funnyyyyyy ... the Verstrickungen of it all. the satirical lens of every person's life. help

this is a fun mixture of astronomical concepts and very recent examples explained in detail. so far i love it (finished red, yellow and orange)

oh this is a great dark comedy

smh Kehlmann manages to strike the same chord as Jugend ohne Gott but we're not even halfway through the story. this won't get a bittersweet ending

this is listed as a biography in my local library and i think they were simply Wrong

reading this at the same time as Annihilation #4 was fun. "wow we found these amazing spiders with reflective eyes in the jungle at night" vs "people have started going missing in the swamp"

reading this as a buddy read and we're both going hahaha sickos yes.png over the first person vanishing

the vibe between Estragon and Wladimir is giving cellmates who would be heartbroken if the other one got out earlier

alex humboldt fangirl moment. hello author, idk you but we love the same guy

every time i read about a death that Really Matters to the story i have to think of Stephen Moffat. lmao

my fav chapter is probably Sissiks finally getting laid. it's so funny and well-written

oh ok so this is slow-burn coming of age. like. i thought we'd also get to know the protagonist as an adult but i don't see any of that currently??

i just realised that Jenks is the closest to an old timey sailor out of all the crewmembers. inked with ports and memories, kinda in love with the ship, couldn't be payed to live planetside

"Wäre die industrielle Revolution im Wallis nicht in Weihwasser ertränkt worden, hätte mein Leben einen anderen Verlauf genommen." pgjfjvfvfbf

sehr lustig, wenn "Konsum" ein normales Wort für Kaufhalle/Laden ist. nein, nicht in Leipzig 1970, nicht in Dresden 2025, sondern im. Wallis

comfort reread bc i wanna read the rest of the series this year

it's not a work by Frisch if there's no meditation on Nature and some Desert

pfffjdjfbf the implication that The Boys only started sucking and fucking bc they were bored inside their lonely alpine valley. and now that they got motorbikes they don't have to do that anymore. Tears in my eyes

torn between "wtf am i reading" and the fact that i may not be the target audience for this

this is almost as bleak as Tyll. idk why and how it made it unto my TBR pile
