WOWWWW LIKE WOWWWWWW

finally picked this up again

this is painting an entirely different portrait of Henry compared to when i read Henry and June. before when i read snippets of their letters, i thought of him as this big romantic figure, full of passion; then i tried to read Tropic of Cancer and was so disappointed that it wasn’t what i expected it to be. now it’s making so much more sense why he wrote like that.

this is the sort of read that is too much to take in all at once. i’m overwhelmed by the substance and the emotion. too many things to underline

seeing quotes i’ve only ever read before online. and discovering more. i can’t believe i have this in my hands!!

wow wow wow i’m so excited wow!! loveliest introduction i’ve ever read.

at a reallyyyyy slow part of the book right now omg

im now realizing i might need to read another lighter book as i go through this bc this is gonna take me forever

best chapter yet

hm… much to think about

i love it when authors describe libraries and their taste for interiors comes through. like yes… im imagining all this mahogany and natural lighting in great detail… and i want it

this is bonkers. love it

i didn’t know what i was reading at first but by page 9 i knew that this is going to effect my in a large sort of way. thank you to me for taking my time with these dense, long sentences because there are a lot of beautiful lines here.

finally i actually feel like im *in* this

a strange thing happening here is the whole plot feels very orchestrated. events aren’t occurring as a result of character decisions or reactions; things are literally just happening and we’re just reading how they unfold with no consequences

i am actually so confused
