this is truly a middle book, im forty percent in and next to nothing has happened yet

lecturer just compared gilgamesh to snoopy, it's the pinnacle of literature

"If I tell you the way things are in the netherworld,
You will be sitting there weeping [...] The penis that when you felt it, you were thrilled,
That penis is there like a rotten timber, vermin eat it. The sweet spot that you said of it, “Where is it? Let me at it!” That sweet spot is there like a crack in parched ground, full of dust.
“Woe is me!" cried the lord, he sat down in the dust."


#cursed. no sex in hell

sto iniziando a cedere

mi fa incazzare e non poco come un libro sulla "Sarda Rivoluzione" che si dilunga nel nulla cosmico sbrighi le faccende del 28 aprile in dieci pagine scarse

per avere una figlia così meglio non averla wtf....

"Arras fu investito da materia e liquido caldo sul volto" but why are you describing a violent death as if it were a cumshotttt

non mi ero accorta che il romanzo fosse di vindice lecis quando l'ho preso in biblioteca e sto avendo gli stessi problemi che ho avuto leggendo "il vincitore" l'anno scorso... non metto in dubbio che faccia tantissima ricerca prima di scrivere i suoi romanzi storici ma non sopporto che scriva ogni frase in modo tale da poter mettere tutte le informazioni che ha imparato leggendo documenti su documenti

non ci credo di aver letto gran parte del libro sul tipico paesino americano e aver trovato solo ora una frase piena di profondo razzismo

the author is trying really hard to sell me the metaphor of the ghost

chi glielo dice a silvia castoldi che "il mondo è la loro ostrica" non vuol dire niente in italiano?

questa traduzione fa un po' pietà

sto uscendo di testa più del protagonista

la rappresentazione degli americani in questo libro è perfetta perché sono santimoniosi e stancanti come quelli veri

very surprised no ones jumped off the railing yet

okay nevermind someone just made the same point i made

if there are such strict rules for books in the library of babel (all are 410 pages with 80 characters per row and 40 rows per page) it would be possible to count them by calculating every possible placement of any sign (spaces included) in these 1312000 places per book

this, of course, only works if the font and its size are always the same - and if we have to account for capital letters and ligatures

-can we get borges for dinner?????

-no, we got borges at home

the borges at home:

"By my count (which I know is accurate, for my memory in this place, it seems, is incapable of forgetting even the smallest detail) I have climbed innumerable light-years[...]"

i was already skeptic as the narrator is trying too hard to sound old and wise by using faux profound words, but this bothers me so much, how can you say you accurately counted something you yourself define innumerable... words have meanings!

"Maybe my crime wasn’t flying the bush, but meaning it. Believing in it too much, as Daglish had accused me. And by that belief, it seemed to me that somehow, all of a sudden, I had become a receptacle for any and all faults."

thats how you know that you're a woman, it literally says so in the bible
adam and eve ate from the tree of knowledge, invented original sin and now eve gets blamed for the fall of all mankind

kind of not liking that darcy keeps being called a "boy" when in the original novel hes almost thirty - and anyway in the same sentences all the young unmarried ladies are called women, which makes "boy" sound even more infantilising
a boy would not be at a ball, even if he were a 15 y/o he would have been called a young (gentle)man at the very least

spotted tizio che adorerebbe la genAI and would suck dick to be considered useful for the state

"Three silhouettes, bobbing up and down in the waves. And then she saw them stand on water, all at once. As if Jesus Christ had split into a trinity"

babe, you're not gonna believe this,

"je ne serais pas artiste si n'il me restait pas quelques illusions"

ive had this quote written in my notes for years its unforgettable

hes so funny, even when he's reaching the climax of his vengeance he can't help but don another silly costume

chi è lo spilorcio che ha impaginato questo libro??? c'è il tanto di mandare la fattura dell'oculista

just found out there is a difference between giorgio armani and emporio armani and that your choice of armani line WILL matter

you construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men

"There's this theory out now that if you can catch the AIDS virus through having sex with someone who is infected then you can also catch anything, whether it's a virus per se or not – Alzheimer's, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, leukemia, anorexia, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, dyslexia, for Christ sakes – you can get dyslexia from pussy–"

laughed out loud ngl

theres some descriptions of outfits that sound so much like those in trashy fanfictions of yore its so fun
