and we’ve turned a corner into a history lesson here

indulging my morbid curiosity...

“Only Anna felt sad. She knew that when Dolly was gone no one would call up in her soul the feelings which had been aroused by their meeting. To have those feelings awakened was painful, but still she knew that they were the best part of her soul, and that that part of her was rapidly being choked by the life she was leading”

THIS is what I’m here for!

ahhhhh from the $12 salads to the barre classes this is all so spot on

“You know perfectly well, don’t you, that your father and I would not let you do anything you didn’t want ... but I think you’d better marry Edward”

ok if i can be honest for a sec this book is taking me so long to read because it gets SO good for a bit and you're sitting there gripped, turning pages, and then suddenly tolstoy's just going on about the russian countryside and farming for what feels like an eternity and it's like getting stuck in quicksand

Ugh I just want this book to be over already... as exceptionally glad as I am that someone's talking about all of this I feel like I'm just losing bits of my soul with each page...

Women are just props to enhance the status of the men they surround, how dare they aspire to anything more!

Oh boy, there is a whole chapter on teen culture and education in the Silicon Valley and I am struggling SO hard to keep an open mind reading this because I obviously have very personal feelings about this issue!

Now we're getting into Dr Elaine Aron's work on sensitivity - super interesting!

You know what they say... no time like exam time to delve into an 800-page Russian novel!

Hit a wall at the bit about HBS and wanted to stop reading, but it got interesting again with Woz... we'll see...
