Say, my parents watch a lot of TV; it's loud, I wish I could finishe this book faster, but it's nice to savor, but also, has such a pace! a lovely lovely pace, and character too.

I'm fairly moseying my way through this one, and for good reason. I don't like to eat more than one or two of Welty's stories a day; and I say it as a compliment. In particular, the last two I read, "Why I Live At The P.O." and "The Whistle" were, respectively, very entertaining, clever, and quite affecting.

If I read more than 40 pages at a time, I get drowsy.

I like it

Stopped like 4 pages short cuz Im sleepy🤤🤤🌜

There's a great part in the middle of this book where the tyrannical Prince of Otranto, Manfred, rants for 3-4 pages to a group of visiting knights on business from another lord, and knights stay silent and sigh and wait around until they can't take it anymore; that's to say, there's a great part in the middle of this book where I begun to think that many readers have taken Walpole's famed novel too seriously!;-)

This book certainly benefits from close reading and, when lost, consulting other translations. That being said; thus, Les Fleurs du Mal is a greater descent into hell than Allegheri's, or at least a more subtle. One wishes to swim around in this poems, warm and tar-ish, but is scared they might come out with acid burns.

I actually dont rlly know how far into the book I am but lwk its pretty hype for a novel from the year 150

A little less than a quarter of the way in, and this book is terribly boring so far. Starting to get concerned about where this is going, and for that matter, Moshfegh's overall ability to end a story.
