Sophie is on page 150 of 384 of The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934
It is like having a conversation with the worst people I have ever met. Jesus christ. She is surely a narcissist. I might have more time for it if it was a fictional character rather than a diary.

I just read the stamp on this book which I thought from eBay and looked up what library it was from and it was from a prison in Cambridgeshire. Well hey think about that, how about that

I gave up on this because I was so confused by who was narrating it, but now I’ve figured it out it’s really good !¡!

Sophie is 50% done with Anna Karenina
I feel so moved by this book that I can’t sleep. I feel like it’s so insightful to human nature and also illustrates so well the basis of a lot of phenomenology. I don’t know how it has bad reviews. I have only read half of it so I am writing this now in case I lose interest. It makes me feel as if all over books are only scratching the surface of consciousness, whereas this has gone the whole hog.

Against Interpretation and Other Essays

Sophie
Sophie is on page 20 of 240 of Understanding a Photograph
Berger says that 'photography does not deal in constructs' in terms of art being transferring the particular into the universal'. I think this is a mistake. In photography you manipulate light and framing to change the focus of a spectator, which is massively transformative to how we naturally view an event, just like a painter draws more attention to certain aspects of what they see more attention on certain lines.

I like the ocean loads but this taking ages! Very good but I have no attention and I’m flippant. It was very nice reading as there was a storm outside my hotel in Eastbourne. 🐋🐳

Sophie is on page 180 of 304 of A Farewell to Arms
I really enjoyed reading a movable feast but this is just fine. It is very readable at least, but I suppose i'm just not interested in war. Maybe it will get better, I don't really feel like I am gaining anything from it beyond kind of wanting to go to Italy

Reading a book about female friendship feels incredibly exhilarating, it feels like having your own childhood opened up before you. I am sure to me and the majority of the gals I know female friendship was an invaluable medium for learning about the world, and where we would enter discussions that would form our personhood. Having this experience acknowledged is nice
