“Are you deeply traumatized? Do you think maybe this experience will feed the Work?”

omg!!

truly obsessed with this gossipy man

i am so stressed

“That he was wondering if love came in other colors than the basic black on none and the red heat of obsession?”

I knew it!!

the guy was talking about how he was born before the Great War and I forgot this book was originally published in 1983 and thought the guy was the oldest man in the world

anyway!

this might’ve put me in a reading slump I cannot lie :(

can’t believe how messy this is already

i knew the Italian Americans would play a big role in all of this

oh my GOD

reading this before bed in an attempt to wind down and now I am AMPED!! I need to know what happens!!! It’s not even that it’s stressful I’m just invested!!!!

things aren’t going well for anyone! I feel immense trepidation!! and dread!!!!

okay so Daniel is definitely NOT the Ariel #iamnotthesharpesttoolintheshed

…is Daniel the Ariel?

i want a cat SO! BAD!

Louise Bernikow was talking about “a nation of loners” in 1986, saying “all the advances in our [lives] may not cause isolation, but they have made it more possible to live that way.” IN 1986!! Louise, I don’t know that things have improved much. Goddamn.

I’m procrastinating finishing this because I know what’s coming :(((

as I read this I’m realizing that my knowledge of American history and politics has a lot of gaps in it

cheeky lil intro! I did not expect Mr. Ganz to be humorous!

just got to part two and realized i should have been keeping track of the quotes i liked so far. alas! we retrace our steps

at this point I think I am a marmee sun, Beth moon, and Meg rising but this could change. also, this is funny! Idk why I’m surprised, but there are some cheeky lines! I like it!

She (Emily Henry) can’t keep getting away with this!! Wow!!

#englishmajormoment: I miss reading books that have a lengthy introduction! I love it! More books should have an informative introduction! Also, I’ve only seen Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, but Amy being the youngest is a CRUCIAL detail already and should have been emphasized more in the film.

i <3 using my parent’s bookshelf as a library 😁😁

i love grouchy old men! (in writing more than in reality, but still!)
