“He forgot that love, which is a madness, and a scourge, and a fever, and a delusion, and a snare, is also a mystery, and very imperfectly understood by everyone except the individual sufferer who writhes under its tortures.”

i giggled

this is amazing the most captivating thing ever

i have no clue why this has such a high rating — the writing is kinda terrible. at a surface level though, it looks like writing that seems really good (super ornate, super descriptive)… but they’re just all arbitrary or incessantly trappings. literally found a sentence that ran for 1 whole page for legitimately no reason. anyways, hope this gets better

cathy is so shirley jackson coded

this is like the best book ever

i don’t really have many thoughts thus far

If I do not praise you, I will not attract the sweep of a scythe that takes the best, the sweetest, the most loved.

“In a way, people like her, those who wield a pen, can be dangerous. At once a suspicion of fakery springs to mind — that such a Person is not him or herselfc but an eye that’s constantly watching, and whatever it sees it changes into sentences; in the process it strips reality of its most essential quality — its inexpressibility.”

i chuckled this is so chaotic

idk if i like this so far… its very hectic/chaotic, and heavily dialogue driven. reads as if itd be more suited towards theatre than a novel… also the characters are just strange and psychologically iconoclastic. idk we’ll see how this plays out

“How long has it taken him to piece her together from the slivers of her he’d gatherd and hoarded so carefully?”

can a book be too long? 🤔

woah! ok… this is exceptionally written.. but the sentence structure’s throwing me off a little (short, sharp, staccato-ish).

very… mundane 🤔

this reads like bell hook’s memoir

ok damn didnt expect this to be this well written
