“Maybe he’s suffering from a different kind of syndrome after all. Lovesickness, it would seem,”
Pg 170

I do not like the prose in this book so far :/ mid

The only thing that I laughed at here was:
“The dude could give a fish a run for their money, they way he flops when he fucks.” (Pg20)
And that is only because it is so absurd. This novel is inundated with these kind of lines that Orwell couldn’t fathom:
“Now here I am, bent over and stuffing myself in a hole. Suppose if I couldn’t get mine stuffed tonight, I might as well get action this way.” KILL ME.

I’ve had to close this book every five pages because it sucks so bad what the actual hell who let this be published

Wholly engrossing

White nights completed

Jesus Christ McCarthy this is awful
I like the moral question posed and there is a clear answer as to who is right

“When you take just the tiniest bit beneath the surface, everyone’s love life is original and interesting and nuanced and defies any easy definition.“

“ if you love someone enough, you should be able to overcome anything.“

“ I can survive it. I’d rather survive it than never feel it.“

“Guilt is a feeling I’ve never made much peace with. I find that when it rears its head, it brings an army. When I feel guilty for one thing, I start to see all the other things I should feel guilty for.”

“We went out to dinner in public, the four of us looking like two pairs of heterosexuals, without a heterosexual in the bunch.”
CRYING why did this make me laugh sm

“I have no idea that in less than a week, Evelyn Hugo will finish her story, and I’ll find out what this has all been about, and I will hate her so much that I’ll truly be afraid I might kill her.”
HELLO??
I must know more what are chores

Homework? What homework? What laundry?
“You have worked so hard for a life so grand. And now all you want are the smallest freedoms. The daily peace of loving plainly.”
STOP ITTTTT
Evelynnnnnnn

ALERT THEY KISSED AAAAA YES GET IT EVELYN
this is gonna be messy but YAY

I’m loving her and Cecilia though Ruby can gtfo

Oh my God who cares this much just correct them and move the hell on
Confusing to me how Evelyn has been through so much awful stuff (like being used for her body, early sexual development without her brain catching up, abusive relationships since she was a CHILD) yet she gets hung up on Monique accidentally saying gay instead of bi WHO CARES

I smell a lavender marriage

Literally on page 1 and it's covered in highlights already
I have a feeling I'm going to love this

Man discovers that materialism, hedonism, and gambling are not actually fulfilling lifestyles
In all seriousness, essentially he meets a woman, learns the mysteries of the life he never got to experience. After indulging, he eventually falls into the vices of man. He spirals downwards until realizing how far he's fallen, considering suicide, and then "restarts" again, wanting to be a child. Sees Govinda again.

Man speaks in 3rd person (thus annoying me but I digress), discovers that indulging in the human experience is a possibility rather than just following the lifestyle of his forefathers

I agree Tori, Nick is in fact NOT straight
Charlie use ur eyeballs my goodness
