Suicide attempt and three year gap was not the turn I was anticipating but we’ll see how this goes

Marriage is hell and if my husband ever did what these husbands did to their wives I would literally take the kids and leave that night. It is so insanely disturbing to see a husband convince everyone in their community that his wife is crazy. RATS ATE YOUR MOTHER. And you think it’s unreasonable that a mysterious wealthy man could be hurting children. Kill everyone.

I’ve never really been interested in reading books like this one but it’s fun so far

This is going to be a slow read but it’s going to be an enjoyable slow read

Really hard to listen to a romance book where one of the main characters has the same name as you tbh

Breaking for lacrosse game I need this done by 8pm

mom chapter is devastating but this guy is annoying and the narrator they chose for the audiobook makes him even more obnoxious

Speed running this for class

Distraction from school and internships 👍👍 very fun so far

Started this on Tuesday for class and am seriously jumping around so I can have it done for class I am so off the reading grind it’s a tragedy

Elektra is such a powerful story. I’ve said it so many times but I’ll say it again and again, I love Sophocles so much. He subverts the genre so well (well what we know of the genre at least) and creates such rich narratives. I’m not going to be reading the last play in this book but I’m reading a version of it by a different playwright so I’ll log it after that

Definitely taking a turn

Need to lock in and finish Elektra before class tomorrow 🤞

Got this book from the library via a “blind date with a book” thing on Valentine’s Day and finally got around to reading some of it today. Really really good though. Crazy that it is set in the town where paige hartshorn went to private school and her school is mentioned several times

Elektra is amazing this is so good I love Sophocles so much

Started reading this last week but forgot to long it :( Agamemnon was really good and carson is a great translator. I loveeee the way Kassandra was written, what an incredible character

So tragic. Such tragedy. It’s the second story of my class about tragedies and the depressing repetition is already getting to me.

I did read the 22 pages before class so all is well

Supposed to have read 22 more pages but I am tired to doing work today! I put all of my work that was technically due today and all that is due tomorrow off all weekend so here we are! I’ll get to page 198 tomorrow before 1:10 I swear. (This is really just an affirmation for myself)

Home stretch of this, need to finish tomorrow 🤞

So so close

Godddddddd Antigone is such a perfect Greek tragedy. This translation is so incredibly done as well. Such engaging and moving writing, the translator did such an incredible job.

Haven’t read this in a while but keep forgetting to update it so here we are. I will finish this one day 🤞

Didn’t make much progress today, second part isn’t as good at capturing the reader i think but i still will be reading this as much as I can the rest of the week

God Antigone is such an icon I’m obsessed with her

Will only be reading Antigone and oedipus the king but want to log it anyway 🤷‍♀️
