His contemplations have the bias of his suffering; his loneliness. This kind of philosophy is most beautiful when it is impersonal. There is an irony in how the author's proclamations of impersonality feel somewhat false. Contrasting his writing with Buddhist scripture exemplifies this need to detach from the self when writing about a detached self.

Okay I AM getting there. I kind of have to force myself to read on sometimes because I don't really like the style of the book....

I appreciate the lack of dialogue as its impersonality reinforces the isolation of the characters 🤔

Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street - 4⭐

The New Dress - 5⭐

The Man Who Loved His Kind - 4⭐

A Summing Up - 5 ⭐

The Legacy - 4 ⭐

The Mark on the Wall - I don't believe I understood it properly, so .... 2⭐, sorry Woolf 💔
The Lady in the Looking Glass - 3⭐ because I understood it more (potentially) but ... Idk it didn't hit deeply enough within me?
The Shooting Party - I didn't really understand this one, likewise - 3⭐ because I'm sure there's more to it than what I understood

Lappin and lapinova - 5⭐

Story 3 = 4⭐
Story 4 = 3⭐ (maybe I didn't understand it fully?)

Finished story 2 - I rate it 5 ⭐ as it's very insightful and creative

Just read the first short story, and it was 5 ⭐, absolutely beautiful

Excited for this

Okay I'm just gonna say it.
Jane Austen is not my thing.
I get that she's telling a story on gradual maturity and raising important critiques on society or whatevah but yada yada. Emma's an adult, yet she's more ignorant and immature on the subject of romance than I am, and that's saying something.
THE EFFORT IT IS TAKING ME TO FINISH THIS.
I am pushing on. I AM ploughing through. ALMOST DONE.

Why does every female heroine have to have a love interest ffs

And here we begin my collection of Kafka

Really trying to bring myself to finish this

Oh look, now we have moved onto Deen and this is getting ridiculous:
"Zafira. The moon never fears the night. The gazelle doesn't fear the unknown. Why must you, huntress?"
(Dramatic guy!)
Errrr I don't know, maybe because SHE'S LAUNCHING HERSELF INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH. I'm sorry but she's literally just a girl, and cannot defend herself against goodness knows what demonic creatures in the Arz...

I can't be the only person who is really befuddled as to why Lana is so willing for her sister to just launch herself into the Arz 💀💀 "I'm going to go and meet Simah" okay sweetie!! You go and hang out with your friend after your sister has just randomly and suddenly informed you of her imminent departure to almost certain death!!

Thank yer Livyarr 😜🫶

I LOVE

Aah this is so good
