"I walk the way which is Nature's, until at last I shall fall and be at rest; breathing out my breath into the air wherefrom I daily drew it, falling on that earth whence my father drew his seed, my mother her blood, and my nurse the milk which nourished me; on that earth which has given me my daily food and drink through all these years, which sustains my footsteps, and bears with me-her manifold abuser.”

just finished Apology. really enjoyed that section! intriguing all throughout & I have many thoughts, questions, and points about this.

skipping some chapters due to it not being assigned! (will come back and read!!)

no wonder chapter 15 was ripped out… wow. the transition from that to chapter 16… holy shock.

Okay who ripped out chapter 15 and other pages…. I just wanna talk.

Woah! come back from a week off reading & they bring in the tea???! whole house mad !!!

holy moly, end of chapter 8…

Had to pause once reading Chapter 3 because, yes, I got so confused on what I was reading. Thank you to this reddit post summarizing Chapters 1-9!! Honestly took me some time to figure out the family tree/relations to each other and everything, as if family trees aren’t complicated as it is. Now am fully enjoying the book🙏! Chapter 4, captivating.

“I ‘never told my love’ vocally; still, if looks have language, —“

“I knew, through experience, that I was tolerably attractive.”

Already starting and we’re off on the “gibberish” talking… as you can see, so not related to Charlotte (or vice versa).

“It’s much easier not to know things sometimes. And to have french fries with your mom be enough.”

I wish we got to see that scene of Charlie at Bill’s house! The dialogue between the two, especially from Bill, truly important and touching.

“And his coat was so white. And I was so tired.”

I stand by my statement last update… “Kiss the prett—“ spare me!

part 3: ✔️:)

The more I read, the more I’m thinking out loud.

part 2: ✔️:)

“Incidentally, I only have one cavity, and as much as my dentist asks me to, I just can’t bring myself to floss.”
