All of these characters are actually mental, no cap

Ayn Rand has some WEIRDDD notions about what a "macho man" is. Definitely side-eyeing a lot of things in the book.

Roark fighting with clients to not betray his personal principles even though he desperately needed their commission to keep the lights on gave me very mixed feelings because a normal man would compromise when desperate but it's actually great to read about someone with a steel backbone.

On the other hand...Keating is SUCH A POS OMFGGGG. He pisses me off sm. AND WHY DOESN'T HIS FIANCÉ HAVE A BACKBONE??? OMG GIRL

Dominique gives me so much whiplash.

Very sad to think how Kaiji, in her childhood, got so desparate to be seen as attractive and be needed by men (because no one of her age liked her due to Japan's impossible beauty standards) that she decided to befriend and adopt the worldview of a pedophile who preyed on her sister.

Uni schedule is so packed that I don't have enough time to be able to read freely 😞💔 STILL TRYING to do so though

Currently trying NOT to cry while sitting in a café

Listen, when I picked this book up, I didn't know I'd have to read about a woman meeting her future son-in-law for the first time and immediately thinking that "she wanted to run her hands all over him, massage his balls, feel him harden at her touch."

And i DEFINITELY didn't know I'd have to read her rationalize sleeping with her son-in-law with the reasoning that she was nearly fifty, and that meant it's ok.

Yazz sounds so pretentious a lot of times. I can't read her bits without raising my eyebrows at some of the things she says

.......I am just glad I'm down to the last story tbh.

so all of these stories are just absolute dogshit... just like i expected

Have to (unfortunately) read this book because I'm trying to finish my backlog.

5 pages into the first story.....and he comments on a woman's breasts. Please free me from this.

This book sucks you right in. All the characterizations are so vivid, it feels like I know all of these characters personally. Props to the author!!!


P.S. I need to sleep otherwise I would've finished the book right now. If I hadn't taken a break when I started it, I probably would've been done by now. My fault for picking it back up at 2 am. 😭

The page count of my copy has 107 more pages than the page count of the book on GR...weird...

We were supposed to read this book in tenth grade as part of our assigned reading, but the school took it off our syllabus because there are parts where Anne makes suggestive comments about a boy (something to be expected of a teenager) and the school thought it was "lewd." Instead, they made us read Gulliver's Travels, and 15 year old me had to read in graphic detail about Gulliver fondling boobs of giant women.

This book has lost the plot in the middle..but now it has piqued my interest again

WAIT, WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

The sister-in-law's concern is valid....but still she pissed me off with that decision omg

Three chapters in and I've teared up like, four times. I think this book will destroy me.
