Im half way and just learned shorty killed herself. Damn that’s crazy.

Okay so I got like half way and then restarted because I was so confused, and the prose is pleasant enough to reread. But it’s interesting because I thought I was missing a lot and I kinda was but wasn’t. But I also think it interesting how much more I feel like on the first read I was being manipulated by the author and like reading it how she intended. Now I feel like I’m a little smarter than was intended.

I don’t get this at all. Future one star rating

I’m reading the Shakespeare made easy version of this, that I found at a thrift store. I like being able to tell what this guy is talking about. I understand that ppl like the English language for its bombastic turns of phrase when emotions are present, but Shakespeare goes over board with this for me. I understand the value, but this way of speaking is is overly ornamental for lack of better term, in my opinion

This book is frustrating. I couldn’t tell you anything about the reality of the book or the main character, but as you read it’s easy to see how certain things matter and other things don’t, in regards to what the main character or narrator thinks or experiences. It’s like how some thoughts are meaningless and others are extremely important. Still not sure if it’s a good book tho, cuz wtf is happening, irdk

I can see why this guy was such an issue during his time. Everything he says is hard to argue with, and he has such a great balance of older hood gentleman trying to teach these youngins about life, and professor in college that wants everything he does to have deep meaning. When it comes to persuading people into your beliefs, I haven’t heard much better than this. I could say so many good things about the prose

The way he speaks is very inspiring. It’s a very good balance between smart and normal person. But jeez his opinions are sharp even tho they sneak up on you because he writes so chill. Really easy one to gobble up.

I was too hard on the book in my last update. It’s honestly has a lot of redeeming qualities; probably will rate it like a 2 or 3. It’s just the bad parts are so bad. I also think this is a girly book and that’s another reason what I don’t like I really don’t like. Excuse the misogyny yall.

I also think I just don’t like the author as a person which may say more about me than the author.

I HATE THIS. The author is like a weird tortured soul or something because there has been so many times I just said, “wow that’s really weird and gross”. It’s funny cuz it has some redeeming qualities but I’ll prob rate it one star. Just shocking opinions and descriptions of decisions n so many times where affection for someone else in such bad words.

These are fun to read before bed. There’s a lot of them so no rush here

I’m listening to this guys podcast where he reads books outloud. It fulfulls the part of me that wants to read with someone all day everyday almost like school. Idk y I get more out of his opinion but he’s also a comedian so it’s great. The book is subpar at best so far, some interesting characters that I’ll get into later

It’s like a romantic book about a middle aged woman that is easy to have affection for. So far the best part of it is it puts you into the mind of rich people in NYC before world war 1. They have such hoity toity opinions and take themselves so seriously. It’s interesting the contrast of them and rich people or people in New York these days. Blowing through this one if I’m being honest
