I decided to pursue this book again after a good Thursday Murder Club cleanse, it’s really graphic, I don’t know what else to say. Celeste Price is just wow…no words for now

I don’t know how I can finish this book, it’s so perverse and graphic, it took me a lot of headache just to get to 20%

Oh my God she’s a fucking disgusting creep. She stalked him, waited in her car outside his house and masturbate while spying on him through her binocular

Catherine is crazy. She woke Nelly up in the middle of the night by pulling her hair and then proceeded to say she’s an angel after all that. Though knowing the plot already, Catherine was right in warning Isabella about how cruel Heathcliff is, but im sure it’s also out of jealousy because Catherine herself said she IS heathcliff, im sure it’s also a projection from herself.

Cathy is super bratty and unlikeable holy hell and no idea why people think that Heathcliff might be ‘white’ when there’s a line that said he wished to be white like Edgar and Nelly said maybe his mother is an Indian queen and his father a Chinese Emperor. My guy is clearly an ‘other’. How are people so illiterate? Anyway the scene where Hareton got thrown was funnyyg

I just discovered that Nabokov wrote this book in English and it changed my perspective on it perfect. Humbert is cringe pseudo-intellectual who, beside the obvious, kept flaunting French phrases, using obstentiously big words and referring to himself in a third person constantly,

“If one is rich enough, it is even fortunate to be in the wrong. A god come to Earth ought to do nothing whatever but wrong; to take upon oneself, not the punishment, but only the guilt- only that would be godlike.”

"for unfortunate people are so stupid that they count the expression of pity as the greatest good on earth."

"Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the product of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labor of others by means of appropriation."

I can see the inspiration that Orwell and Huxley have drawn for their respective books.

I was expecting a very heavy war-based atmosphere, with sad stuff and shit. Turns out, it's pretty funny in a dark humor sort of way.
