“You are on the verge of being truly mad.” “No, not at all. Look at me. I can tie my shoelaces. See? And my tie.”

somehow lestat got worse

“Indeed, I observed that a large number looked strongly Jewish, a thing which astonished me, as I knew that the Jews had a fundamental aversion to seafaring” lads I’ve booked a trip to the maritime museum in like four weeks. fucking shit Jew

“setting aside these silly freaks” is perhaps the funniest way describe a pirate in a book from 1724

All this book is doing is giving me juuust enough to make me cripplingly curious about a thing and then moving on. all this to say I will be buying a long history of seafaring straight after

“Mars and Venus could not be served at the same time” is a banger of a line actually of course it would be in the Mary Read section. diva

decided to back the theory that captain charles johnson used to be a pirate, purely because the idea of publishing a book filled with gossip about ex coworkers is too funny to pass up

close enough welcome back aerion brightflame

losing the will but if I don’t finish this it will put me in a reading slump that lasts eons

elspeth is SO COOL bring her back right the fuck now pls I can’t be stuck with Alice and Peter for another two hundred fucking pages. one more mention of peters dick and I swear I’ll sink this boat with us all on it

oh to be an old lady making saucy jokes while recounting a cosy fantasy of being a dragon biologist

Im gonna be honest i do feel this is my least favourite rf kuang book. Im sick of pages of references and i dont know how many more “i can be arsed to google this”s I’ve got in me

alise kincarron my love 🫶

“I’ve never thought about texts like this before … taking into account when they were written, and the authors social context, and such” literally how in the fuck is peter meant to be the naturally gifted smart one

still furious over althea’s ending actually. free her

listened to xtc while reading this. book enjoyment boosted 210%

Judy Poovey is a national treasure at this point

Fitz I miss u

I could write essays on this book recreationally and have as much fun as a toddler in a ballpit

disappointed in my friends, not because they accidentally did a murder but because they didn’t invite me along to the orgy

having magic canonically make you sexier is absolutely killing me

REREAD TIME!! having an aesthetic objection to taking exams and subsequently failing secondary school is still the funniest thing a characters ever done btw

my copy of this has extra old vampire stories in it im having a whale of a time here. the mysterious stranger by karl adolf von wachsmann is a banger actually

god forbid I’m the only one not reading vampire classics in halloween

seeing everyone reading the vampire classics for halloween made me feel left out

“there’s a variable [Milgram] didn’t account for, and it’s that he was at fucking yale” unfortunately I laughed

“the book she’d written with her period blood was an ineffectual as all the others she’d attempted” 😐😑😐😑

Civil bresinga might just be conceptually the best character of all time. Only person to ever have the right to be homophobic. Telepathically connected to his cat. Jumping out of hiding spots to call people gay. Getting stoned. Shit musician. Fitz called him the most boring person ever. Got his palm licked by the fool. Just phenomenal charactering 10/10

half my time rereading this is just me looking over my last lot of annotations

NO FUCK

The Book Where Fitz Becomes Woke
